Tool call issues#

Tool-call failures usually happen at the schema, parser, or trajectory boundary.

Check:

  • The model output matches the expected tool-call format.

  • Tool arguments are validated before execution.

  • Tool results are recorded in the message history.

  • Parser failures are logged with the raw assistant turn.

  • Dropped trajectories include enough context to reproduce the bad turn.

For serving-side tool-call behavior, see Inference CLI reference. For agentic diagnostics, see Observability.
