[FIX] Model provider returns 400:format_error #33

Description

@Da-Mikey

Problem (observed in real usage)

The agent is encountering '400:format_error' responses from the model provider. This indicates that the requests being sent to the model are malformed or do not conform to the expected format.

Evidence (aggregated, anonymized)

  • Frequency: seen in 4 of 28 recent sessions
  • Tool/area involved: Model provider communication layer
  • Failure shape: Model provider returns HTTP 400 with 'format_error' indication.

Impact on real tasks

These format errors directly prevent the model from processing the agent's requests, leading to task blockage and retries, wasting tokens and time.

Proposed direction

Investigate the specific request payloads being sent to the model provider when these errors occur to identify the malformed part. Implement stricter validation or correction mechanisms before sending requests to the provider.

Value

  • Impact: 0.7
  • Effort: 0.5
  • Priority Score: 2.8
