Troubleshooting
Common Issues
MCP Server Connection Failed
Symptoms: Connection refused errors, Timeout connecting to MCP server, URL not responding
Cause: MCP server not running or incorrect URL configuration
Solution:
- Verify MCP server is running and accessible
- Check URL in configuration matches server endpoint
- Ensure network/firewall allows connection to server port
- Test connection with curl or browser before agent integration
Tool Schema Validation Errors
Symptoms: Invalid input format errors, Schema mismatch warnings, Type validation failures
Cause: Input data does not match MCP tool schema
Solution:
- Use CLI to inspect tool schema: aiq info mcp --url <url> --tool <name>
- Validate input data matches expected types and required fields
- Check JSON schema definitions in MCP server documentation
- Convert inputs to proper format (dict, JSON string, or schema instance)
Framework Integration Issues
Symptoms: Import errors, Framework not found, Incompatible versions
Cause: Missing or incompatible framework dependencies
Solution:
- Ensure target framework (LangChain, LlamaIndex, etc.) is installed
- Check version compatibility between AIQ toolkit and framework
- Install framework-specific dependencies as needed
- Refer to documentation for framework-specific configuration
Performance Bottlenecks
Symptoms: Slow agent responses, High token usage, Workflow timeouts
Cause: Inefficient tool usage or workflow design
Solution:
- Enable observability to identify bottlenecks
- Use profiling features to analyze tool and agent performance
- Review token tracking metrics to optimize LLM calls
- Consider hyperparameter tuning for agent optimization
OpenTelemetry Integration Errors
Symptoms: Observability data not appearing, Telemetry export failures, Missing metrics
Cause: OpenTelemetry not properly configured
Solution:
- Verify OpenTelemetry collector is running
- Check observability configuration in AIQ settings
- Ensure proper instrumentation of agent workflows
- Review OpenTelemetry export settings and endpoints
Alibaba Cloud DataWorks not appearing in NVIDIA Agent Intelligence Toolkit
Symptoms: Server not listed, Tools not available
Cause: Configuration or installation issue
Solution:
- Verify configuration syntax
- Check Alibaba Cloud DataWorks installation
- Restart NVIDIA Agent Intelligence Toolkit
- Check logs for error messages
