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.
