- **Method:** `POST /documents/upload` with file upload
- **Result:** FAILURE - "File not found: /tmp/test.txt"
- **Root Cause:** Test setup issue - test file doesn't exist at expected path
- **Investigation:** When I created a real temp file, upload worked but had response model mismatch
- **Fix Status:** FIXABLE - Need to fix test setup and response model (server returns `{"status": "success", "track_id": "..."}` but model expects `{"filename": "..."}`)
- **Priority:** HIGH - Core functionality
**17. get_documents** π«

- **Method:** `GET /documents`
- **Result:** BLOCKED - HTTP 500 "1 validation error for DocStatusResponse file_path Input should be a valid string [type=string_type, input_value=None, input_type=NoneType]"
- **Root Cause:** Server-side validation error in DocStatusResponse model
- **Investigation:** Server has internal validation issue with null file_path values
- **Fix Status:** BLOCKED - Server-side issue, cannot fix from client
- **Priority:** MEDIUM - Alternative methods exist
**18. get_documents_paginated** π«
- **Test:** Retrieve paginated documents (page 1, size 10)
- **Method:** `POST /documents/paginated`
- **Result:** BLOCKED - Same HTTP 500 DocStatusResponse validation error
- **Root Cause:** Same server-side validation issue as get_documents
- **Investigation:** Server internal model validation failure

**19. update_entity** β
- **Test:** Update entity with ID "test_entity_id" and properties `{"name": "updated"}`
- **Method:** `POST /graph/entity/edit` with `{"entity_id": "test_entity_id", "entity_name": "test_entity_id", "updated_data": {"name": "updated"}}`
- **Result:** FAILURE - HTTP 400 "Entity 'test_entity_id' does not exist"
- **Root Cause:** Test uses non-existent entity ID
- **Investigation:** Knowledge graph is empty - no entities exist to update
- **Fix Status:** FIXABLE - Need to create entities first or use existing entity IDs
- **Priority:** MEDIUM - Logical test issue, not code issue
**20. update_relation** β
- **Test:** Update relation with ID "test_relation_id"
- **Method:** `POST /graph/relation/edit` with `{"relation_id": "test_relation_id", "source_id": "unknown", "target_id": "unknown", "updated_data": {"weight": 0.9}}`
- **Result:** FAILURE - HTTP 400 "Relation from 'unknown' to 'unknown' does not exist"

## π§ TECHNICAL FIXES IMPLEMENTED
### Phase 1: HTTP Client Fixes β
- **Issue:** `AsyncClient.delete()` doesn't support `json` parameter
- **Fix:** Use `client.request("DELETE", url, json=data)` for DELETE requests with JSON bodies
- **Tools Fixed:** delete_document, delete_entity, delete_relation (HTTP layer)
### Phase 2: Request Parameter Fixes β
- **Issue:** Request models didn't match server API expectations
- **Fixes:**
- `InsertTextsRequest`: Changed from `List[TextDocument]` to `List[str]`
- `DeleteDocRequest`: Changed from `document_id: str` to `doc_ids: List[str]`
- `EntityUpdateRequest`: Added required `entity_name` and `updated_data` fields
- `RelationUpdateRequest`: Added required `source_id`, `target_id`, `updated_data` fields
- `DeleteEntityRequest`: Added required `entity_name` field
- `DeleteRelationRequest`: Added required `source_entity`, `target_entity` fields
- **Tools Fixed:** insert_texts, delete_document, update_entity, update_relation, delete_entity, delete_relation (parameter validation)
### Phase 3: Response Model Fixes β
- **Issue:** Response models didn't match server response structures
- **Fixes:**
- `DeleteDocByIdResponse`: Changed to match `{"status": str, "message": str, "doc_id": str}`
- `ClearDocumentsResponse`: Changed to match `{"status": str, "message": str}`
- `TrackStatusResponse`: Changed to match `{"track_id": str, "documents": [], "total_count": int, "status_summary": {}}`
- `DocumentsResponse`: Changed to match `{"statuses": {}}`
- `UploadResponse`: Changed to match `{"status": str, "message": str, "track_id": str}`
- **Tools Fixed:** delete_document, clear_documents, get_track_status (response parsing)

## π― REMAINING ISSUES & RECOMMENDATIONS
### HIGH PRIORITY (Fixable)
1. **upload_document** - Fix test setup and response model alignment
2. **Entity/Relation operations** - Create proper test entities/relations or use existing ones
### MEDIUM PRIORITY (Blocked - Server Issues)
1. **get_documents** - Server-side DocStatusResponse validation error
2. **get_documents_paginated** - Same server-side validation error
### RECOMMENDATIONS
1. **For upload_document:** Create proper test file and verify response model matches server output
2. **For entity/relation operations:** Implement test setup that creates entities/relations first, then tests operations
3. **For blocked tools:** Report server-side validation issues to LightRAG team
4. **Overall:** Consider implementing retry logic and better error handling for production use
