AI: When generating documentation, it consistently gets the Date wrong (month and year).

[Jeklah]

Summary

Date is consistently wrong in documentation.

Description

Steps to trigger the problem:
1.Install Zed on a VM. I am using 0.201.8
2. Implement a feature and ask for documentation (I am doing a project in Rust, if that makes a difference).
3. Note that the Date in the documentation is most likely incorrect. Occasionally the year is correct.

Expected Behavior: Date is correct.
Actual Behavior: Date is consistently incorrect.

The agent has access to a now tool, which allows it to request the current time, month and year. The agent isn't required to call this tool however which leads me to believe it might not have called it. Could you check whether the tool was called from the thread history?

This might be something we want to add into the system prompt to instruct the model to use the tool to check dates. As a workaround I'd add a line to your own prompt which asks the agent to always fetch the date using a tool.
