Cause (Documented platform behavior): DocumentBlock.name only allows alphanumerics, single whitespace, hyphens, parentheses and square brackets (1-200 chars); '.' in extensions, paths and punctuation are rejected. Names must also be unique per request.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Misleading approaches:
- Renaming only the extension — dots elsewhere and other punctuation still fail.
Limitations:
- Issue page read via WebFetch summarizer; error text not verified verbatim against raw page.
- Bedrock service filename constraint is documented behavior; @ai-sdk/amazon-bedrock CHANGELOG (770c214, 5.0.75) sanitizes document filenames client-side, which avoids but does not change the service behavior.
- Error text verified via issue pages (WebFetch); botocore service-2.json documents the constraints as a list, not this sentence.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Amazon Bedrock Converse] 400 'The document file name can only contain alphanumeric characters, whitespace characters, hyphens, parentheses, and square brackets.' — raw filenames (extens
Recommended action: Sanitize names: strip extension and directories, replace characters outside [A-Za-z0-9 ()\[\]-] with '-', collapse whitespace, truncate to 200, de-duplicate; upgrade @ai-sdk/amazon-bedrock (fixes 08336f1 strip extensions, 770c214 sanitize filenames).
Option: Sanitize and de-duplicate document names [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Steps:
1. name = re.sub(r'[^A-Za-z0-9 ()\[\]-]','-', stem)
2. collapse whitespace; truncate to 200; ensure uniqueness in the request
Expected: Documents accepted.
