What's Wrong?

Recently, Claude has been failing to call tools very frequently, regardless of the effort level.
Read, Write, AskUserQuestion…anything. It even feels like it's getting worse day by day.

I've been using a temporary, symptomatic workaround I recently saw in a technical article to prevent it from simply breaking and stopping, but that's not a fundamental solution.
Anthropique should confront the fact that this is wasting tokens and a huge amount of time.
It's wasting your limited computing resources.

What Should Happen?

Claude should be able to use tools correctly.

Additional Information

When I point out a mistake, or when it's automatically pointed out by a Hook, Claude responds as if he's aware that the cause is a syntax error in his tool call.
I had a tool-call syntax error. Let me reissue the approval question correctly.
