Agents: Not able to get a simple version working

[jhmonroe]

What happened?

See attached below... a simple test setup of creating an agent who focuses on acting as a publicist.
I filled out all the required fields in the GUI and checked against the Docs here: https://www.librechat.ai/docs/features/agents

Response: "Something went wrong. Here's the specific error message we encountered: An error occurred while processing your request. Please contact the Admin."

Steps to Reproduce

• Tried it with Anthropic & ChatGPT (tried 2-3 models each) and neither works.
• Also tried with and without Google Search plugin activated.
• Instructions: In addition to the long instructions in screenshot, I also provided it with the simpler "you are a publicist"
• I am the only user on the account (so assuming I'm an admin).
• I ask the test question: "what are 3 ideas for getting interior design publicity around the end of year?"
• Response: "Something went wrong. Here's the specific error message we encountered: An error occurred while processing your request. Please contact the Admin."

Is the agent selected? can you provide the server logs for when this happens?

[jhmonroe]

yes!
I think the issue has to do with following the Docker log warnings and changing the SECRET KEYS & CREDS keys mentioned in my reply to #4988
https://www.librechat.ai/docs/configuration/authentication#jwt-secret-and-refresh-secret

After doing that I realized it was not only Agents that weren't working but regular model chat as well.

Once I reverted back to your default values for only the CRED KEYS, leaving the new SECRET KEYS, and then:
docker-compose down
docker-compose build --no-cache
docker-compose up

Using new generated SECRET KEYS seems to work since now everything is working again. agents, regular models, etc.

Therefore I get this warning in Docker and will ignore it, since changing them broke things:
LibreChat | 2024-12-14 18:41:03 warn: Default value for CREDS_KEY is being used.
LibreChat | 2024-12-14 18:41:03 warn: Default value for CREDS_IV is being used.
