claude-code - 💡(How to fix) Fix Tool calls silently fail / return empty mid-session [1 comments, 2 participants]

~/.claude/logs/ on the affected machine.

TL;DR

Restarting the Claude Code session is a reliable workaround for the intermittent tool call failures.

Guidance

• Investigate the logs in ~/.claude/logs/ for any error patterns or clues that might indicate the root cause of the internal error or hanging issue.
• Monitor the number of successful tool calls before the degradation begins to see if there's a consistent threshold or trigger.
• Consider adding additional logging or debugging statements to the Bash tool calls to gather more information about the failures.
• Test the tool calls with a variety of inputs and commands to see if the issue is specific to certain types of commands or outputs.

Example

No specific code snippet can be provided without more information about the Bash tool calls or the Claude Code implementation.

Notes

The root cause of the issue is unclear, and the workaround of restarting the session may not be a long-term solution. Further investigation and debugging are needed to determine the underlying cause of the problem.

Recommendation

Apply the workaround of restarting the Claude Code session when the issue occurs, as it is a reliable way to restore functionality, although it does not address the underlying cause.
