I trying to change LXC container (1166) description via pvesh utility and get error:

Code: 
root@dp-nd03:~# pvesh  set /nodes/dp-nd07/lxc/1166/config  --description "check_description"
malformed JSON string, neither tag, array, object, number, string or atom, at character offset 0 (before "(end of string)") at /usr/share/perl5/PVE/CLI/pvesh.pm line 125.

but if I run the same command on the node where the container is running, it works without errors

Code: 
root@dp-nd07:~# pvesh  set /nodes/dp-nd07/lxc/1166/config  --description "check_description"

I think problem in proxy_handler function (i replaced empty string by $json = "{}" and the error disappeared) or in the
Code: 
 --output-format json
which returned empty string

Code: 
sub proxy_handler {
    my ($node, $remip, $path, $cmd, $param) = @_;

    my $args = [];
    foreach my $key (keys %$param) {
        next if $key eq 'quiet' || $key eq 'output-format'; # just to  be sure
        push @$args, "--$key", $param->{$key};
    }

    my $remcmd = ['ssh', '-o', 'BatchMode=yes', "root\@$remip",
                  'pvesh', '--noproxy', $cmd, $path,
                  '--output-format', 'json'];

    if (scalar(@$args)) {
        my $cmdargs = [String::ShellQuote::shell_quote(@$args)];
        push @$remcmd, @$cmdargs;
    }

    my $json = '';
    PVE::Tools::run_command($remcmd, errmsg => "proxy handler failed",
                            outfunc => sub { $json .= shift });

    return decode_json($json);
}
