why

if no options are provided, we need to provide an empty object

what changed

when options is empty, we fallback to empty object

test plan

tested locally
tested on api


Summary by cubic

Default options to {} for agentExecute calls in V3 to prevent errors when no options are provided. This makes API agent execution more resilient.

Why:

  • agentExecute expects an object; undefined options caused failures.

What:

  • Use options ?? {} when calling apiClient.agentExecute in V3.

Test Plan:

  • Call agent without options; verify it executes without error.
  • Call agent with options; verify values are passed unchanged.
  • Smoke test on API with an active page; confirm normal behavior.

Written for commit 8980e9f. Summary will update automatically on new commits.

Greptile Overview

Greptile Summary

This PR fixes a defensive programming issue in the V3 agent execution path. When the agent method is called without options (a common and valid use case), the options parameter becomes undefined. The apiClient.agentExecute method expects an object, so passing undefined causes runtime errors. The fix adds a nullish coalescing operator (?? {}) to ensure an empty object is passed when options are undefined, making the API agent execution path consistent with the rest of the codebase that already handles optional options gracefully.

Important Files Changed

Filename Score Overview
packages/core/lib/v3/v3.ts 5/5 Added nullish coalescing operator to default options to empty object in apiClient.agentExecute call

Confidence score: 5/5

  • This PR is extremely safe to merge with minimal risk of causing any issues
  • Score reflects a simple, well-tested defensive programming fix that prevents runtime errors without changing any core functionality
  • No files require special attention as this is a single-line defensive fix that maintains API consistency
