Not a valid collection key upon syncing

I've attempted to organize my collections using this here:
https://github.com/pastorpflores/Zotero-AI-organizer

What it does is suggest names for new collections based on ones library, and then classify papers within those collections.

Things work as expected, expect they break the sync. Apart from sync, everything works just fine on local.

The error that appears upon sync is "not a valid collection key".
I looked through the Zotero source code and could not find any information suggesting what a valid collection key should look like.
Would anyone have any ideas how I could 1. either fix the sync or 2. generate valid collection keys that would not break the sync in the first place?

Thank you!

    For problems with a plugin, you'll need to contact the plugin developer.

    Thank you.
    This is not an actual plugin. It's an external tool that modifies the Zotero.sqlite directly.

    I was wondering if anyone knows where I can find what a "valid collection key" looks like, so I could try to fix the issue myself.

    I'll reach out to the developer as well.

    External tools should never modify Zotero's database directly. Zotero supports plugins and a read-write web API for use cases like this. There's no practical way to verify that the modifications that that program is making to your database won't lead to corruption; you just shouldn't use it.
