Moonshot AI model must be set to use agents.

Error message

Moonshot AI model must be set to use agents.

What it means

Setup guard in checkSetup(): provider is 'moonshotai' but MOONSHOT_AI_MODEL_PREF is unset. Unlike key-only providers, Moonshot AI requires an explicit model selection, so a missing model preference (not a missing key) blocks agent setup.

Solutions

1. Set the MOONSHOT_AI_MODEL environment variable to a valid Moonshot AI model.

When it happens

Trigger: Moonshot AI was selected as the agent provider but no model is set.

Common situations: This error is raised at runtime in server/utils/agents/index.js. It occurs when the required configuration for this provider is missing or invalid (unset environment variables, empty API key or base path), when the external service is unreachable or returns an unexpected response, or when invalid input reaches the call site. To prevent it, validate the relevant provider settings and environment variables at startup and confirm the service is reachable before this code path executes.
