missing required boolean argument `show_tray`

Error message

missing required boolean argument `show_tray`

What it means

A required-argument guard in the `daemon_host_prefs_set` service tool: the tool-call arguments carried no usable boolean `show_tray` field — absent, null, or not a JSON boolean. The tool's schema declares `show_tray` as required, so this is a malformed model-issued tool call (or a caller that skipped schema validation), not a service-layer failure.

Solutions

1. Include `"show_tray": true` (or false) as a JSON boolean in the tool call
2. When invoking programmatically, validate arguments against the tool schema first
3. Do not pass the string `"true"` — the guard requires a genuine boolean
