Error Message

Gateway sessions can receive repeated image_generate tool failures where the tool returns success=false, error_type=empty_response, and error="Codex response contained no image_generation_call result". In observed logs this happened repeatedly for gpt-image-2-medium, with calls taking roughly 6-136 seconds before failing. This is distinct from safety rejection, network timeout, and invalid prompt input. Today the failure is surfaced as a generic tool error, which can lead to repeated attempts and weak user-facing recovery guidance.

Problem: Gateway sessions can receive repeated image_generate tool failures where the tool returns success=false, error_type=empty_response, and error="Codex response contained no image_generation_call result". In observed logs this happened repeatedly for gpt-image-2-medium, with calls taking roughly 6-136 seconds before failing.

This is distinct from safety rejection, network timeout, and invalid prompt input. Today the failure is surfaced as a generic tool error, which can lead to repeated attempts and weak user-facing recovery guidance.

Expected behavior:

  • Classify empty_response as a first-class image generation failure mode.
  • Bound retries for this class, ideally at most one retry unless the user explicitly asks again.
  • Preserve structured evidence in the tool result: model, error_type, duration, and whether retry was attempted.
  • Give the agent a concise recovery hint, e.g. retry later, reduce prompt complexity, or switch generation route.

Acceptance:

  • Unit coverage for a response with no image_generation_call result.
  • The agent does not enter repeated same-turn image generation attempts for the same empty_response.
  • Safety rejections, network failures, and empty provider responses remain distinguishable in logs and user-facing guidance.
  • Existing successful image generation behavior is unchanged.
