## Problem
The AI `find_<object>` tool builds its input schema with
`generateFindToolInputSchema`, which **spreads field filters at the args
root** (alongside `limit`/`offset`/`orderBy`/`and`/`or`/`not`).
`tool-executor.service.ts` then maps the raw model args to a filter
with:
```ts
const { limit, offset, orderBy, ...filter } = args;
```
The zod schema is only used to generate the JSON schema *shown* to the
model (`z.toJSONSchema(...)`) — it is **never used to validate the args
coming back**. So when the model emits a bare operator where a field
name belongs, e.g. `{ ilike: "Foreman" }`, it passes straight to the
query runner, which throws and burns a retry mid-turn:
```
ERROR [FindRecordsService] Failed to find records: Object person doesn't have any "ilike" field.
ERROR [FindRecordsService] Failed to find records: Object person doesn't have any "eq" field.
```
Two contributing faults:
1. **The tool description actively misleads the model** — it says ``use
filter: { id: { eq: "record-id" } }``, a `filter` wrapper the
root-spread schema doesn't have, inviting the malformed shape.
2. **No server-side validation** — invalid root keys reach the query
runner instead of being rejected against the advertised contract.
## Fix
1. **`FindRecordsService` prunes invalid filter keys before querying.**
Using the same filter shape the tool schema advertises
(`generateRecordFilterSchema(...).filterShape`), it drops any key that
is neither a real field nor a logical operator (`and`/`or`/`not`),
recursing through `and`/`or`/`not`. A model that sends `{ ilike:
"Foreman" }` now gets a valid (empty) filter rather than an exception.
Extracted as a pure, unit-tested util `pruneFilterToAllowedKeys`.
2. **Corrected the `find_<object>` tool description** to describe the
real top-level-field shape and explicitly warn against a `filter`
wrapper and bare root operators.
## Test
`__tests__/prune-filter-to-allowed-keys.util.spec.ts` covers: valid
filters untouched, bare root operators dropped, valid siblings
preserved, `and`/`or`/`not` recursion, and non-object input.
## Notes
- Defensive for all `FindRecordsService` callers; `find_one` (`{ id: {
eq } }`) and workflow find-records pass valid filters and are
unaffected.
- Companion to #21106 (RICH_TEXT composite filters). Both surfaced from
the same `"Tom Foreman's notes"` AI-chat repro; this PR addresses the
root-level-operator half.

Why Twenty
Twenty gives technical teams the building blocks for a custom CRM that meets complex business needs and quickly adapts as the business evolves. Twenty is the CRM you build, ship, and version like the rest of your stack.

Installation
Cloud
The fastest way to get started. Sign up at twenty.com and spin up a workspace in under a minute, with no infrastructure to manage and always up to date.
Build an app
Scaffold a new app with the Twenty CLI:
npx create-twenty-app my-app
Define objects, fields, and views as code:
import { defineObject, FieldType } from 'twenty-sdk/define';
export default defineObject({
nameSingular: 'deal',
namePlural: 'deals',
labelSingular: 'Deal',
labelPlural: 'Deals',
fields: [
{ name: 'name', label: 'Name', type: FieldType.TEXT },
{ name: 'amount', label: 'Amount', type: FieldType.CURRENCY },
{ name: 'closeDate', label: 'Close Date', type: FieldType.DATE_TIME },
],
});
Then ship it to your workspace:
npx twenty app:publish --private
See the app development guide for objects, views, agents, and logic functions.
Self-hosting
Run Twenty on your own infrastructure with Docker Compose, or contribute locally via the local setup guide.
Everything you need
Twenty gives you the building blocks of a modern CRM (objects, views, workflows, and agents) and lets you extend them as code. Here's a tour of what's in the box.
