When I use the Python SDK, I frequently encounter an
<tool_use_error>
InputValidationError: Write failed due to the following issues:
The required parameter file_path is missing
The required parameter content is missing
An unexpected parameter raw_arguments was provided
</tool_use_error>
error when calling tool write/edit functions, and it often self-repairs this error many times. What is this problem?

Getting this error very frequently these days. It's blocking the entire coding workflow
ClaudeCode version - 2.0.47
Key observation - this seems to be happening when the input file size is large

contentis missingThis is a model-side issue where Claude occasionally generates malformed tool call JSON (wrapping parameters in raw_arguments instead of individual fields), particularly with larger contexts—the CLI's validation correctly catches this and returns an error that allows Claude to self-correct on retry
