Description

### Checks

- [ ] I have searched [github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues](https://github.com/aws/amazon-q-developer-cli/issues?q=) and there are no duplicates of my issue
- [x] I have run `q doctor` in the affected terminal session
- [x] I have run `q restart` and replicated the issue again

### Operating system

macOS 14.7.0 (23H124)

### Expected behaviour

The tool should work normally when I use q chat. For example when I prompt for tools it should list the tools, If I prompt to go through a directory and analyse it should be able to understand the content.

### Actual behaviour

Amazon Q is having trouble responding right now:
0: Failed to send the request: unhandled error (ValidationException)
1: unhandled error (ValidationException)
2: service error
3: unhandled error (ValidationException)
4: Error { code: "ValidationException", message: "Improperly formed request.", aws_request_id: "38382482-3bc0-4d50-9b11-003abae15ad4" }

Location:
crates/chat-cli/src/cli/chat/mod.rs:997

Backtrace omitted. Run with RUST_BACKTRACE=1 environment variable to display it.
Run with RUST_BACKTRACE=full to include source snippets.

### Steps to reproduce

I start the q chat and it starts throwing that error
