Troubleshooting

Common Issues

API Authentication Failed

Symptoms: 401 Unauthorized errors, Invalid API key message

Cause: Missing or incorrect API key

Solution:

  • Verify API key is correctly copied from klavis.ai dashboard
  • Check API key is set in environment variable or code
  • Ensure API key has not expired
  • Regenerate API key if necessary

OAuth Authorization Errors

Symptoms: OAuth redirect failures, Authentication loop, Token refresh errors

Cause: OAuth credentials not configured or expired

Solution:

  • Complete OAuth authorization flow for required services
  • Check redirect URLs are correctly configured
  • Verify OAuth app credentials in service provider settings
  • Contact Klavis support for OAuth troubleshooting

Tool Call Failures

Symptoms: Tool not found errors, Execution timeouts, Rate limit errors

Cause: Tool not properly configured or service rate limits exceeded

Solution:

  • Verify tool name matches available tools list
  • Check service-specific rate limits and quotas
  • Ensure required parameters are provided correctly
  • Review Klavis API logs for detailed error messages

Context Window Overload

Symptoms: Too many tools error, Context length exceeded, Slow responses

Cause: Too many tools exposed to AI agent at once

Solution:

  • Use Strata Progressive Discovery to expose tools hierarchically
  • Reduce number of simultaneous MCP servers in Strata configuration
  • Filter tools based on current task context
  • Enable intelligent tool filtering in Strata settings

Docker Deployment Issues

Symptoms: Container fails to start, Port conflicts, Connection refused

Cause: Docker configuration or port binding errors

Solution:

  • Ensure Docker is installed and running
  • Check port 5000 is not already in use (or change port mapping)
  • Verify Docker image pulled successfully
  • Check container logs: docker logs <container-id>

Alibaba Cloud AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL not appearing in Klavis AI

Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available

Cause: Configuration or installation issue

Solution:

  • Verify configuration syntax
  • Check Alibaba Cloud AnalyticDB for PostgreSQL installation
  • Restart Klavis AI
  • Check logs for error messages
