@ShiinaKaze if I read your case correctly, you are running the CMSIS-Toolbox as part of the CMSIS csolution Visual Studio Code extension. The output above seems to come from the process that generates the compile_commands.json. Have you tried to run a build or update some input file e.g. *.csolution.yml file. This should trigger a cbuild invocation that includes the option --update-rte which will ensure that the RTE folder is populated. This is not a tools problem but something that you should report to the github repository for the Arm CMSIS csolution extension: https://github.com/ARM-software/vscode-cmsis-csolution/issues

Note that the extension shall ensure that a project's RTE folder is up-to-date (e.g. run csolution update-rte *.csolution.yml before generating the compile_commands.json file.
