This small change *may* help with #39211, #35025 or #39031 although I'm not positive it will fix it entirely. At a minimum, it should prevent sending invalid requests to the Mistral API, which return a 400 error and can prevent the thread from progressing if it gets stuck in a retry loop. This should prevent sending a message like `{ "role": "assistant", "content": "" }` if for some reason the thread contains a message with an empty text content and no tool calls. Some users (including myself) have encountered this with the Devstral 2 models, although it doesn't seem trivial to reproduce: https://github.com/zed-industries/zed/issues/37021#issuecomment-3728902562 When it occurs, error logs look something like this: ``` 2026-01-24T19:53:35-08:00 ERROR [crates/agent/src/thread.rs:984] invalid type: string "Failed to connect to Mistral API: 400 Bad Request {\"object\":\"error\",\"message\":\"Assistant message must have either content or tool_calls, but not none.\",\"type\":\"invalid_request_assistant_message\",\"param\":null,\"code\":\"3240\"}", expected struct EditFileToolOutput 2026-01-24T19:53:35-08:00 ERROR [crates/agent/src/thread.rs:984] invalid type: string "Failed to connect to Mistral API: 400 Bad Request {\"object\":\"error\",\"message\":\"Assistant message must have either content or tool_calls, but not none.\",\"type\":\"invalid_request_assistant_message\",\"param\":null,\"code\":\"3240\"}", expected struct EditFileToolOutput 2026-01-24T19:53:35-08:00 ERROR [crates/agent/src/thread.rs:984] invalid type: string "Failed to connect to Mistral API: 400 Bad Request {\"object\":\"error\",\"message\":\"Assistant message must have either content or tool_calls, but not none.\",\"type\":\"invalid_request_assistant_message\",\"param\":null,\"code\":\"3240\"}", expected struct EditFileToolOutput ``` Release Notes: - Fixed agent sometimes sending invalid messages to Mistral API |
