Solutions

1. Do not use the reserved database name 'rag_flow'; choose another database.

Example fix

database = 'analytics'  # not 'rag_flow'

When it happens

Trigger: Thrown at agent/tools/exesql.py:62 when the library encounters an invalid state.

Common situations: An ExeSQL tool is configured to query the internal rag_flow database, which is blocked for security; pointing the tool at a different database prevents this error.
