Report #53506

[research] Agent mixes parameters from different API versions \(e.g., OpenAI v1.0 vs v0.x, or AWS SDK v2 vs v3\)

Require the agent to explicitly state the API/SDK version it is targeting before writing code. Pin the version in the system prompt or RAG context. If version is ambiguous, prompt the user.

Journey Context:
LLMs are trained on data spanning years. They will confidently combine deprecated parameters with new ones \(e.g., using engine instead of model for OpenAI, or mixing callback styles in Node.js\). This creates code that fails at runtime with obscure errors. Explicit version anchoring forces the model into the correct semantic subspace.
