Error getting agents from DB: {e}

Error message

Error getting agents from DB: {e}

What it means

Generic wrapper raised in get_agents_from_db when the prisma find_many over the agents table (or row serialization, e.g. object_permission model_dump) throws; the underlying exception text is embedded. It marks a database read failure while listing agents — connectivity, schema drift, or a malformed row — rather than an empty result (which returns an empty list normally).
