Chat/Channel ID and Message ID are required

Error message

Chat/Channel ID and Message ID are required

What it means

Thrown by the GetMessage Teams tool's _call when chatChannelId or messageId is falsy. The tool fetches a single message from either a channel (GET /teams/{teamId}/channels/{chatChannelId}/messages/{messageId}) when teamId is present, or a chat (GET /chats/{chatChannelId}/messages/{messageId}). Both the scope ID and the message ID are required to build the path.

Solutions

1. Pass both chatChannelId and messageId as non-empty strings.
2. Capture messageId from a prior list/send message call and thread it in.
3. For channel messages, also pass teamId.
4. Expose both fields as required in the tool schema.

Example fix

// before
await getTool._call({ chatChannelId: '19:...' })
// after
await getTool._call({ chatChannelId: '19:...', messageId: '1701234567890' })

function hasScopeAndMessage(params: any): boolean {
  return Boolean(params && params.chatChannelId && params.messageId)
}

function isGetMessageArgs(a: unknown): a is { chatChannelId: string; messageId: string; teamId?: string } {
  return typeof a === 'object' && a !== null
    && typeof (a as any).chatChannelId === 'string' && (a as any).chatChannelId.length > 0
    && typeof (a as any).messageId === 'string' && (a as any).messageId.length > 0
}

try {
  await getTool.call(arg)
} catch (e) {
  if (e instanceof Error && e.message === 'Chat/Channel ID and Message ID are required') {
    // request both IDs
  } else throw e
}

When it happens

Trigger: Calling GetMessage without chatChannelId or messageId; either value empty/null; defaultParams not filling the gap.

Common situations: Agent fetches a message but only knows the chat/channel, not the message ID; messageId from a prior step was lost; node wiring leaves an input unbound.
