OMLX base path must be provided to use agents.

Error message

OMLX base path must be provided to use agents.

What it means

Provider setup guard in AgentHandler.checkSetup: the selected agent provider is 'omlx' but the OMLX_LLM_BASE_PATH environment variable is empty/unset, so the agent has no endpoint for the oMLX server and setup aborts.

Solutions

  1. Set the OMLX_BASE_PATH environment variable.
  2. Ensure the OMLX server is running.
Defensive patterns

Strategy: validation

When it happens

Trigger: OMLX was selected as the agent provider but no base path is configured.

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.
