query cannot be empty

Error message

query cannot be empty

What it means

Empty-value guard in the memory recall tool's execute: `query` was present and a string but trimmed to empty (namespace checks already passed). A blank query would match nothing useful, so it is refused before the search; supply non-empty namespace and query.
