Troubleshooting

The model responds but does not call tools

Confirm that the selected model supports tool calling, the tool is visible to the LLM, and the entry-node configuration allows it. Try the same request without a restricted provider route.

Browser research cannot open pages

Open Browser Access and inspect recent activity. Verify the configured mode, Browser MCP URL, and proxy fallback. Hosted model search does not provide a live browser preview.

A local model endpoint fails

Check the base URL, model-list route, API key expected by the server, and tool-call support. Browser requests can also be blocked by CORS even when the endpoint works from curl.

Stored work is missing

Confirm the active profile and browser origin. Browser storage is origin-scoped. For tycli, check ~/.config/tycli, $XDG_DATA_HOME/tycli, and ~/.local/share/tycli.

Development diagnostics

Open /diagnostics in the browser, or use the focused CLI diagnostics documented in Testing and Diagnostics.
