### Troubleshooting Guide

Source: https://docs.dotsimulate.com/operators/rag/source_ops

Common issues and their solutions for the dotsimulate project.

```APIDOC
## Troubleshooting

### "path column not found" error

**Description:** The OP Find DAT connected to **Custom Op Find** must have a column named `path`. If you are using a custom DAT, make sure it outputs operator paths in that column.

### Operators missing from results

**Description:** Check your OP Find filter settings. Pulse **Open Op Find pars** to review what the filter is matching. The **Component** parameter sets the root — operators outside that component tree are not discovered.

### Parsing is slow

**Description:** Reduce scope with tighter OP Find filters, or disable detail toggles you do not need (especially **Include Parameters** with **All Pars** on large networks).
```

--------------------------------

- **Color** (RGBA) - Optional - The color passed as a uniform.
- **Mouseuv** (UV) - Optional - The mouse UV coordinates passed as a uniform.
- **Outputresolution** (Menu) - Optional - Determines the output resolution of the GLSL TOP.
- **Resolution** (XY) - Optional - Custom resolution values.
- **Trueres** (XY) - Optional - Displays the actual resolution.
- **Useinput0** (Toggle) - Optional - Enables first input TOP.
- **Useinput1** (Toggle) - Optional - Enables second input TOP.

--------------------------------

### Troubleshooting Guide

Source: https://docs.dotsimulate.com/operators/utility/tox_updater

Common issues and their solutions for the DOTsimulate operator.

```APIDOC
## Troubleshooting

### Sign In button does nothing after pulsing
- **Cause**: A previous authentication attempt may still be in progress.
- **Solution**: Check the **Auth Status** field. If it shows `Waiting for browser...` but the browser never opened, reload the operator or restart TouchDesigner and try again.

### “Please sign in first” appears when checking or downloading
- **Cause**: The **Auth Status** field shows `Not signed in` or `Session expired`.
- **Solution**: Pulse **Sign In** to re-authenticate, then retry.

### “Subscription required” error when downloading
- **Cause**: Your account’s subscription is not active. The **Subscription** field shows `Inactive`.
- **Solution**: Check your subscription status at the DOTsimulate website.

### The Operator menu shows “Check for updates first” after launch
- **Cause**: If the operator has never run a registry check on this machine, the menu starts empty.
- **Solution**: Pulse **Check for Updates** to populate it. If a previous check was run, the cached list loads automatically on startup within a few seconds.

### “No LOPs basefolder configured” error
- **Cause**: The download path is not set in your ChatTD configuration.
- **Solution**: Configure the basefolder in ChatInstaller and try downloading again.

### Download completes but operator does not update in TouchDesigner
- **Cause**: Downloaded `.tox` files are written to disk but do not hot-reload into running projects.
- **Solution**: After downloading, replace or reimport the affected operators in your network manually.
```

--------------------------------

### Example Display File Parameter

Source: https://docs.dotsimulate.com/operators/rag/source_github

Specifies a particular file to display content from. Defaults to an empty string.

op('source_github').par.Displayfile
```

--------------------------------

### Troubleshooting Guide

Source: https://docs.dotsimulate.com/operators/other/rating

Common issues and their solutions for the Dotsimulate rating system.

```APIDOC
## Troubleshooting

### Error: Item is empty
**Description**: The **Item to Rate** field is blank. 
**Solution**: Enter a name before rating.
```

```APIDOC
### Ratings not saving
**Description**: Ratings are not being saved.
**Solution**: Check that **Storage Location** is set correctly. If using **Custom Folder**, ensure **Rating Folder** points to a valid, writable directory.
```

```APIDOC
### Agent cannot rate
**Description**: The agent is unable to perform ratings.
**Solution**: Verify that **Enable Tools** is turned on in the **GetTool** page. If **Agent Selects Item** is off, ensure **Item to Rate** has a value.
```

```APIDOC
### Undo does nothing
**Description**: The undo function is not working as expected.
**Solution**: Only the most recent rating can be undone. If you have already undone once or no rating has been made this session, there is nothing to reverse.
```

--------------------------------

### Verify uv Installation

### Best Practices

Source: https://docs.dotsimulate.com/operators/lops-controls/agent_session

Recommendations for optimizing Agent Session usage, including history management, context window, and prompt caching.

```APIDOC
## Best Practices

*   **Let Agent Session manage history**: It handles message IDs, timestamps, deduplication, and tool call/result pairing automatically.
*   **Use Conservative or Aggressive pruning**: For long-running sessions to avoid exceeding context windows. The Intelligent strategy preserves important messages while trimming older small messages.
*   **Enable Prompt Caching**: For multi-turn sessions where the conversation prefix stays stable to reduce costs on caching-capable providers.
*   **Use Auto Name Session**: For dashboard workflows where users need to identify sessions at a glance.
```

--------------------------------

### Best Practices for Tool Configuration

Source: https://docs.dotsimulate.com/operators/llm/tool_parameter

Recommendations for effectively configuring tools for agent interaction.

```APIDOC
## Best Practices

- Give each tool a clear, descriptive **Tool Name**.
- Use **Description** to add context about the operator's function.
- Start with **Enable Set Current Values** and **Enable Get Current Values** enabled.
- Use the **Mode** menu to set tools to “forced” when they are mandatory.
- Toggle **Enable / Expose Tool** off to temporarily hide all tools.
```

--------------------------------

### Example Clear All Parameter

Source: https://docs.dotsimulate.com/operators/rag/source_github

```python
op('source_github').par.Clear
```

--------------------------------

### Example Callback Structure

Source: https://docs.dotsimulate.com/operators/llm/hold_chat

Standard structure for implementing hold event callbacks in the callback DAT.

```python
def onHold(info):
# Called when any hold becomes active
# info: {'Hold': True}
pass

def onHoldEnd(info):
# Called when all holds become inactive
# info: {'Hold': False}
pass

def onTokenThreshold(info):
# Called when token count exceeds threshold
# info: {'Hold': True, 'Type': 'TokenThreshold'}
pass

def onTokenThresholdEnd(info):

# info: {'Hold': False, 'Type': 'TokenThreshold'}
pass

def onMessageThreshold(info):
# Called when message count exceeds threshold
# info: {'Hold': True, 'Type': 'MessageThreshold'}
pass

### Example Callback Structures

Source: https://docs.dotsimulate.com/operators/llm/summarize

Implement these functions to hook into task lifecycle events. The `onTaskStart` function is called when an API call begins, and `onTaskComplete` is called upon completion, providing access to results.

```python
def onTaskStart(info):
# Called when the summarization API call begins
pass
```

```python
def onTaskComplete(info):
# Called when summarization finishes
# The summary text is available in the Summary parameter and summary_dat output
pass
