But the actual sync records (line 96-104 in index.js) include 7 fields — adding documentId and updatedAt. When syncDocuments() first calls getDocumentIds() (line 61) before any real records are inserted, it queries for documentId and upda",

My LLM's were doing pretty good about filling them out in the past but lately they seem to ignore the parameter field and leave it blank despite having all the information to chat back at me.  Multiple models, old, new seem to be doing a lot worse. I wondered if maybe the tool descriptions have changed or g",

These formatting issues lead to authentication failures, incorrect API endpoints, and intermittent test/integration failures.\n\nF",
