Google Sheets tool AI Agent Empty response

[Olesya_A]

Hello everyone,
I have a workflow where I use an AI agent with Google Sheets tool to manage my content plan.

Over the past several days, I’ve been experiencing a persistent issue with the Google Sheets AI Agent Tool - it returns an empty response, despite indicating that it has completed the task and made changes.

In reality, no changes are made to the target Google Sheets table, and the logs confirm that the AI agent’s response is empty.

Some additional context:

• When I run the Google Sheets node independently, it works correctly.
• If I switch the Agent Tools to use AirTable Tool instead, the workflow executes as expected, returning a non-empty response and applying the necessary changes.
• I’m running the latest version of n8n in Docker.
• Changing AI models (Gemini, OpenAI, OpenRouter) did not resolve the issue.
• Rolling back to a few previous versions of n8n also had no effect.

This issue is disrupting my workflows, and switching to AirTable is not an ideal solution in my use case.

Has anyone else encountered this? Are there any workarounds or fixes available?

Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi, can you please share your workflow. Sending screenshots with blanked out everything and just an empty array is kind of useless

In the mean time I would suggest pinning data and trying to execute like that in and outside of your AI setup. This will show whether or not the Google sheets can be made to work or not

Insert your workflow by clicking ‘</>’ and pasting in the workflow’s code

Yes, sure. It’s a simple workflow with AI agent and GoogleSheets tools.
It worked a few days ago. Then it stopped. And all I could find to get closer to solving the problem is: Response: [ ]
Now i replaced only the tools in this process with an AirTable and it works properly again. But i really want to get GoogleSheets tools back
