AWS Bedrock rerank error (${(error as any).code}): ${error.m

Error message

AWS Bedrock rerank error (${(error as any).code}): ${error.message}

What it means

BedrockReranker.rerank wraps AWS SDK errors that carry a `code` property (e.g. AccessDeniedException, ThrottlingException, ValidationException) into a descriptive Error. The original AWS error code and message are embedded in the string.

Solutions

1. Match the embedded AWS code: fix modelId for ValidationException, add IAM bedrock:InvokeModel for AccessDeniedException, backoff for ThrottlingException.
2. Verify the rerank model (e.g. amazon.rerank-v1) is available in your configured AWS region.
3. Check AWS credentials/region config on the Bedrock client.

const isAwsCodedError = (e: unknown): e is Error & { code: string } => e instanceof Error && 'code' in e;

try { await bedrock.rerank(body); } catch (e) { if (/Throttling|TooManyRequests/.test(String(e))) await backoff(); else throw e; }

When it happens

Trigger: Invalid modelId in the AWS bedrock agent runtime rerank call, missing iam:InvokeModel permissions, throttling, wrong region, or malformed AWS credentials.

Common situations: Typo in the rerank model ID; IAM role lacking bedrock:InvokeModel on the rerank model ARN; rate limits under load; region mismatch where the model is not available.
