Disable LSP by default. Or run it at session end only, asking to fix errors in a subsequent message

[remorses]

LSP is way too aggressive. The LLM shouldn't need to fix errors after a single tool call, because most edits are expected to create an invalid file, for example when removing a variable in different places. The LSP adds too much noise to the LLM

This issue might be a duplicate of existing issues. Please check:

• Run formatters only on session end instead of after tool call #2535: Very similar request to run formatters only on session end instead of after tool call, with the same reasoning that it confuses the LLM and reduces tool call success rates

Feel free to ignore if none of these address your specific case.

+1, this pollutes the context and confuses the agent nonstop

[NaikSoftware]

Mmm.. This is killer feature for me 😄 Other tools can use inexistent method or syntax. OpenCode always verifies after editing. If you expect errors and it's okay for you use case, you can instruct to ignore errors in the prompt. Its edge case in my opinion

[divmgl]

It's not about expecting errors in our code. It's about surfacing errors in the right moment. Surfacing errors on every message does not improve agent behavior.

Here is how to force the model to call a tool without using a new user message @thdxr

await streamText({
  messages,                // prior user + assistant code
  tools: { typecheck }, // add LSP tool that typecheks among other messages
  toolChoice: { type: 'tool', toolName: 'typecheck' }, // <— force the tool call
});

This way the LLM will continue its assistant message without having to show the user an user message

Edit: I discovered doing this openai will not let the LLM call other tools so it's a bit useless

depends on the case. In most cases I faced, when LLM goes wrong way, the problem should be fixed immediately. On the end of the session can be too late. Many changes have been made to the code and at the end we say "the entire flow was broken, do something with this". Imagine that you use API for creating app and at the end it turns out that such API doesn't exist.

I have found it adds a lot of noise/pollution to the context. The models are good enough now to mostly avoid creating compiler/language level errors when they make changes, and even when errors are made it quickly resolves them with a compile/type check after making changes.

If not disabled by default maybe add to the config a way to disable all LSPs rather than having to disable each on a language by language basis.

Here is an example just now when editing lua it thinks there's an error when there isn't (maybe due to lsp delay?) leading to the model then running a check only to realize there is no error ("Hmm, there's no error actually" followed by the Read tool use does not happen with lua LSP disabled):

I agree this is a real pain point. The current behavior forces users to choose between:

1. "lsp": false - lose all LSP features (hover, go-to-definition, etc.)
2. Keep LSP enabled - deal with noisy inline diagnostics after every edit

Suggestion: Add a config option like lsp.diagnostics.inline: boolean (default true to preserve current behavior). When set to false:

• LSP servers still run, so hover/go-to-definition/references tools work
• edit and write tools skip the LSP.touchFile() wait and diagnostics output

This way agents can run bun typecheck or similar commands explicitly when they're ready, rather than being interrupted by incomplete-code errors mid-edit.

@ethan-huo what LSP features would u be losing if u turned them off, the only thing that would stop working is the lsp tool and that's experimental so u prolly dont have it anyway
