Description
Intermittent 'API Error: 400 due to tool use concurrency issues' appears in VSCode extension, even on simple single-tool operations like Read.
Environment
- OS: Windows 11
- IDE: VSCode with Claude Code extension
- Date: January 2025
Behavior
- Error appears even on simple Read operations (single tool, no parallelism)
- The operation often succeeds despite the error message being displayed
- Happens intermittently, even after PC restart
- Not limited to print mode (-p), occurs in interactive VSCode extension
Related Issues
- #18130 (locked) - Similar issue in print mode
- #9438 (locked) - Same error with non-existent /rewind suggestion
Expected Behavior
No error should be displayed when the tool operation succeeds.
Actual Behavior
Error message 'API Error: 400 due to tool use concurrency issues' is shown even though the tool result is received correctly. This appears to be a display/UI bug rather than an actual failure.
