claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix [BUG] Claude Code on the web silently stops mid-task after tool calls [1 participants]

On Claude Code on the web, the agent frequently halts mid-task after a tool call (typically a file read) without producing any further output, error, or summary.

Error Messages/Logs

TL;DR

The agent halting mid-task after a tool call in Claude Code on the web may be related to an issue with task execution or the Anthropic API, and sending a Continue command can temporarily resume the task.

Guidance

• Investigate the task execution flow to identify potential bottlenecks or errors that could cause the agent to halt.
• Verify that the Anthropic API is functioning correctly and responding as expected to tool calls.
• Test the task with different tool calls to determine if the issue is specific to certain tools or tasks.
• Consider adding logging or debugging statements to capture more information about the agent's state when it halts.

Notes

The non-deterministic nature of the issue and lack of error messages or logs make it challenging to pinpoint the exact cause. Further investigation and debugging are necessary to identify the root cause.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Sending a Continue command can temporarily resume the task, but a more permanent fix will require identifying and addressing the underlying cause of the agent halting.
