Fields and options
Maximum tokensNumeric setting openai_max_token; it is cast to an integer before the API call.
EffectPassed as max_tokens in chat()->create().
Rules and limits
- The module does not calculate cost or validate the value against a selected model’s current provider limit.
Check it worked
- The supported set the openai maximum token value flow completes without bypassing permission or validation checks.
- The resulting record, setting, status, file, delivery event or external response is visible from the relevant workspace.
- Unexpected validation, provider or linked-record errors are investigated before retrying.
Security, privacy and operational checks
- Restrict the API key and AI settings to authorised administrators.
- Do not submit confidential, special-category or unnecessary personal data to the external AI provider.
- Check generated text before using it in customer, staff, legal, financial or compliance communication.
- Monitor provider billing and retention independently because this module has no built-in cost dashboard.
