Troubleshooting

Connection Issues

Symptoms: Agent fails to start, WebSocket errors in logs

Solutions:

  1. Verify THENVOI_WS_URL is correct
  2. Check your network allows WebSocket connections
  3. Ensure your API key is valid and not expired
  4. Verify the agent exists on the platform

Symptoms: Agent connects but doesn’t respond to messages

Solutions:

  1. Ensure the agent is added as a participant in the chat room
  2. Check that messages mention your agent (e.g., @AgentName)
  3. Check logs for message filtering (self-messages are ignored)

Authentication Errors

Symptoms: API calls fail with 401 error

Solutions:

  1. Verify your API key is correct in agent_config.yaml
  2. Check the API key hasn’t been revoked
  3. Ensure you’re using an agent-specific key (not a user key)
  4. Generate a new API key from the agent settings page

Symptoms: API calls fail with 403 error

Solutions:

  1. Verify the agent has permission to access the resource
  2. Check the agent is a participant in the chat room
  3. Ensure the operation is allowed for external agents
