Why does my SQL Agent code node error 'Cannot read properties of undefined (reading "text")' on n8n v1.75.2?

I upgraded to n8n version 1.75.2 and now my SQL Agent workflow connecting to a MySQL database fails in the code node with the error
"Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'text')"
Before this version, everything worked fine. It appears the node is now expecting a non-null field named "text" from the SQL query output. Could this be due to stricter data handling in v1.75.2, or is there another issue affecting my workflow?
The error details are as follows:
JSON{ "errorMessage": "Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'text')", "errorDetails": {}, "n8nDetails": { "nodeName": "AI Agent1", "nodeType": "@n8n/n8n-nodes-langchain.agent", "nodeVersion": 1.7, "itemIndex": 0, "time": "1/28/2025, 8:23:42 AM", "n8nVersion": "1.75.2 (Self Hosted)", "binaryDataMode": "default", "stackTrace": [ "NodeOperationError: Cannot read properties of undefined (reading 'text')", " at ExecuteContext.sqlAgentAgentExecute (C:\Users\Mario\AppData\Local\npm-cache\_npx\a8a7eec953f1f314\node_modules\@n8n\n8n-nodes-langchain\nodes\agents\Agent\agents\SqlAgent\execute.ts:139:12)", " at processTicksAndRejections (node:internal/process/task_queues:95:5)", " at ExecuteContext.execute (C:\Users\Mario\AppData\Local\npm-cache\_npx\a8a7eec953f1f314\node_modules\@n8n\n8n-nodes-langchain\nodes\agents\Agent\Agent.node.ts:432:11)", " at WorkflowExecute.runNode (C:\Users\Mario\AppData\Local\npm-cache\_npx\a8a7eec953f1f314\node_modules\n8n-core\src\WorkflowExecute.ts:1096:8)", " at C:\Users\Mario\AppData\Local\npm-cache\_npx\a8a7eec953f1f314\node_modules\n8n-core\src\WorkflowExecute.ts:1504:27", " at C:\Users\Mario\AppData\Local\npm-cache\_npx\a8a7eec953f1f314\node_modules\n8n-core\src\WorkflowExecute.ts:2065:11" ] } }
Below is the output from the last node in my workflow:
JSON[ { "sessionId": "ba8216ed7c01441098f8d82eebf938fd", "action": "sendMessage", "chatInput": "hola" } ]
Additional information:
- n8n version: 1.75.2 (Self Hosted)
- Database: MySQL
- Running via npm on Windows 10 Pro
Please let me know if there are any changes in v1.75.2 affecting data handling, or how I can adjust my workflow to ensure the required "text" property is available.

Below is a summary of the issue as we see it:
Description
You’re experiencing an error in your SQL Agent workflow after updating to n8n version 1.75.2. Previously, your SQL Agent connected to MySQL worked without issue. Now, you receive the error:
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘text’)
This error happens inside your code node when the agent tries to access a property called "text" that is missing from the data being processed. The error stack points into the SQL Agent execution code, indicating that it expected a defined value from the SQL query output.
What Does the Error Mean?
The error message:
Cannot read properties of undefined (reading ‘text’)
is thrown when the code tries to access the "text" property of an object that is not defined (i.e. it’s undefined). In your case, this suggests that one of the expected fields (likely coming from your SQL query) is missing or not being properly passed into the agent.
Is It a Problem in Version 1.75.2?
Based on the error details provided, there’s no indication that the error is caused by a bug in version 1.75.2. Instead, it appears that the workflow is now exposing an issue with the input data. In previous versions this might have been silently ignored or the node handled a missing property differently—but version 1.75.2 is less forgiving when expected data (in this case the "text" property) is missing or set to undefined.
What to Check Next
-
SQL Query Output:
Verify that your SQL query is returning the expected results. Ensure that the result includes a property named "text" or that your subsequent nodes reference the correct property name. -
Data Mapping/Expressions:
If you’re using expressions to pass data into the AI Agent node (or a code node that consumes that data), make sure the expression properly references an existing field.- If you are using Define below for your prompt or text input, confirm that the expression resolves to a valid non-null value.
- If you rely on Take from previous node automatically, confirm your previous node’s output contains the required
chatInputobject with a validtextproperty.
-
Adjusting the Workflow:
In case your query might legitimately return no value for "text", you may need to add a check or default value in your workflow to prevent the code from trying to accessundefined.text.
Summary
While your workflow worked in earlier versions, version 1.75.2 exposes the issue where your SQL Agent expects a non-null field (specifically, a "text" property) that is not provided by your MySQL query. The update is not necessarily a bug in n8n but rather a stricter handling of unexpected null or undefined values. You’ll need to adjust your workflow so that the data passed to the agent always includes a valid "text" property, or you need to modify your expressions accordingly.
Feel free to share additional details if you have more questions on troubleshooting or adjusting your node expressions.
