Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/Mintplex-Labs/anything-llm/issues/5608

How are you running AnythingLLM?

Docker (local)

What happened?

​I have been using AnythingLLM for the past two weeks, but I’ve hit a persistent wall regarding file system output. ​The Issue: The AI frequently claims to have successfully created folders or scripts at the specific file paths I provide. However, despite the AI saying "I have created the file at [path]," no files or directories actually appear on my system. What I have already tried (without success): ​Permissions: I’ve granted AnythingLLM full administrative/read-write access to the folders. Pathing: I’ve tried using both absolute paths (e.g., C:/User/Scripts) and relative paths, but the result remains the same. Workspace Settings: I searched for hidden "Enable File System Writing" toggles or plugins within AnythingLLM that might be missing or disabled.
​Directory Monitoring: I checked if the files were being saved in a temporary "Sandbox" or internal app folder instead of my specified path, but found nothing.

Are there known steps to reproduce?

Didt everyting posobile last 2 weeks anyone who can help me or from the team.

No response

If you dont see an explict tool call failing, the model is simply hallucinating - it really is that simple as it is just the model refusing to call the tool.

This can happen with smaller models a lot early in the chat and provided you have the tool enabled, and everything set - if you dont see an interactive prompt in chat for the model to create a directory or fille or even see the tool calling in the agent output as it is working - then it is just making stuff up.

What model are you using and what provider? Do you have intelligent tool selection on or off?

Since you are on docker, are you using a startup command like this: https://docs.anythingllm.com/agent/usage/file-system-agent#docker-setup?
