What's Wrong?

I currently have about 176487 tokens used up

I want to compact manually, but when I attempt to do so, I am facing a 400 issue

❯ /compact "keep the api handy, also keep the information that the figr spaces already has the sharing funcitonality implemented in the
frontend side"
⎿ Error: Error during compaction: Error: API Error: 400
{"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"messages.0.content.0: unexpected tool_use_id found in tool_result

message."},"request_id":"req_011CXzFwfgPWcRGSNTDCdxBK"}
