What's Wrong?

Error: InputValidationError: Write failed due to the following issues:
The required parameter file_path is missing
The required parameter content is missing

What Should Happen?

Description

When using Claude Code on macOS, any attempt to write or modify a file consistently fails with an InputValidationError.

This issue occurs in both v2.1.19 and v2.1.20, suggesting it is not a regression introduced in a single release, but an existing bug across multiple versions.

As a result, file-writing functionality is effectively unusable.
