Failed to fetch repositories

Error message

Failed to fetch repositories

What it means

RepoPicker verifies an active GitHub connection first (throwing 'NOT_CONNECTED' otherwise), then runs GITHUB_LIST_REPOSITORIES_FOR_THE_AUTHENTICATED_USER via Composio; when the action returns successful=false with an empty error string this fallback message is thrown.

Solutions

1. Verify the GitHub (Composio) connection is ACTIVE in Connections; reconnect if stale
2. Retry after a short wait for rate limits to clear
3. Reproduce the action from the Composio dashboard to see the underlying error; check Composio status

// Gate the picker on connection freshness before any fetch:
const conns = await listConnections();
const gh = conns.connections?.find(c =>
  c.toolkit.toLowerCase().includes('github') &&
  (c.status === 'ACTIVE' || c.status === 'CONNECTED')
);
if (!gh) { /* show connect prompt, skip the Composio call entirely */ }

const isActiveGithub = (c: { toolkit: string; status: string }): boolean =>
  c.toolkit.toLowerCase().includes('github') &&
  (c.status === 'ACTIVE' || c.status === 'CONNECTED');

try {
  await loadRepos();
} catch (e) {
  const msg = e instanceof Error ? e.message : String(e);
  if (msg === 'NOT_CONNECTED') { promptConnectGithub(); return; }
  if (msg === 'Failed to fetch repositories') { offerRetryAfterDelay(); return; }
  throw e;
}

When it happens

Trigger: Composio executes the action but reports failure with res.error empty: rate limit, stale Composio connection token, or a GitHub API error swallowed upstream.

Common situations: Composio connection needs re-auth after token expiry; Composio throttling or outage; OAuth grant revoked on GitHub.
