Error updating agent in DB: {e}

Error message

Error updating agent in DB: {e}

What it means

Generic wrapper raised in the agent update path when the prisma agents_table().update (or serialization of the updated row) throws; original exception text is interpolated. This is the full-update counterpart of the patch/add wrappers in the same registry: it means the agent exists and update_data was prepared, but the database write itself failed at the infrastructure level.
