Lindy Common Errors
Overview
Comprehensive guide to troubleshooting common Lindy AI errors and issues.
Prerequisites
- Lindy SDK installed
- Access to logs and error messages
- Basic debugging skills
Common Errors
Authentication Errors
LINDY_AUTH_INVALID_KEY
Error: Invalid API key provided
Code: LINDY_AUTH_INVALID_KEY
Causes:
- Expired API key
- Incorrect key format
- Key from wrong environment
Solutions:
# Verify key is set
echo $LINDY_API_KEY
# Regenerate key in dashboard
# https://app.lindy.ai/settings/api-keys
# Test key
curl -H "Authorization: Bearer $LINDY_API_KEY" \
https://api.lindy.ai/v1/users/me
Rate Limit Errors
LINDY_RATE_LIMITED
Error: Rate limit exceeded
Code: LINDY_RATE_LIMITED
Retry-After: 60
Causes:
- Too many API requests
- Concurrent agent runs exceeded
- Burst limit reached
Solutions:
// Implement exponential backoff
async function withBackoff<T>(fn: () => Promise<T>): Promise<T> {
for (let i = 0; i < 5; i++) {
try {
return await fn();
} catch (e: any) {
if (e.code === 'LINDY_RATE_LIMITED') {
const delay = Math.pow(2, i) * 1000;
await new Promise(r => setTimeout(r, delay));
continue;
}
throw e;
}
}
throw new Error('Max retries exceeded');
}
Agent Errors
LINDY_AGENT_NOT_FOUND
Error: Agent not found
Code: LINDY_AGENT_NOT_FOUND
Solutions:
// Verify agent exists
const agents = await lindy.agents.list();
const exists = agents.some(a => a.id === agentId);
// Check environment (dev vs prod)
console.log('Environment:', process.env.LINDY_ENVIRONMENT);
LINDY_AGENT_TIMEOUT
Error: Agent execution timed out
Code: LINDY_AGENT_TIMEOUT
Solutions:
// Increase timeout
const result = await lindy.agents.run(agentId, {
input,
timeout: 120000, // 2 minutes
});
// Use streaming for long tasks
const stream = await lindy.agents.runStream(agentId, { input });
Tool Errors
LINDY_TOOL_FAILED
Error: Tool execution failed
Code: LINDY_TOOL_FAILED
Tool: email
Solutions:
// Check tool configuration
const agent = await lindy.agents.get(agentId);
console.log('Tools:', agent.tools);
// Verify tool credentials
await lindy.tools.test('email');
Debugging Checklist
[ ] API key is valid and not expired
[ ] Correct environment (dev/staging/prod)
[ ] Agent ID exists and is accessible
[ ] Rate limits not exceeded
[ ] Network connectivity to api.lindy.ai
[ ] Required tools are configured
[ ] Timeout is sufficient for task

evaluating-machine-learning-models: This skill allows Claude to evaluate machine learning models using a comprehensive suite of metrics. It should be used when the user requests model performance analysis, validation, or testing. Claude can use this skill to assess model accuracy, precision, recall, F1-score, and other relevant metrics. Trigger this skill when the user mentions "evaluate model", "model performance", "testing metrics", "validation results", or requests a comprehensive "model evaluation".

It should be used when the user requests the creation of a new neural network, modification of an existing one, or assistance with defining the layers, parameters, and training process. The skill is triggered by requests involving terms like "build a neural network," "define network architecture," "configure layers," or specific mentions of neural network types (e.g., "CNN," "RNN," "transformer").
