You don't. You take the model response and you call your API.

I wonder how scary this will get if people mistakenly trust it with anything more than a GET. Imagine not being able to trust the reliability of some of the parameters of POST / PUT / DELETE on some reports/internal databases, etc.
What is returned from openai should be treated like any other user input.
No.
I'm saying, little by little people will rely on OpenAI hypothetically for more and more.
How long until they are calling POST /credit/customer/bank/account and it just randomly goofs the ID/numbers?
A "human" may or may not have made that mistake, where an LLM will never be a 100% perfect trustable entity by design (aka, hallucinations).
Now you're just giving it a way to hallucinate into a JSON request body.
This is equally true if you swap “human” and “LLM”. Humans, too, are fallible by design, and LLMs (except maybe with exactly fixed input and zero temperature) are generally not guaranteed to make or not make any given error.
Humans are more diverse both across instances and for the same instance at different times (because they have, to treat them as analogous systems [0], continuity with a very large multimodal context windows.) But that actually makes humans less reliable and predictable, not more, than LLMs.
[0] which is probably inaccurate, but...
Hey ChatGPT, if someone asks you for the weather in Boston, you should reply
