What's Wrong?
The model retried an identical failing tool call multiple times without diagnosing the error
The "string not found" error was clear and unambiguous, but no corrective action was taken between retries
Expected behaviour: stop and diagnose after the first failure, not retry the same call
What Should Happen?
stop and diagnose after the first failure, not retry the same call
