Problem
Scenario
You are building an LLM agent that can answer user requests by calling tools. In testing, the agent keeps choosing the wrong tool, passing malformed arguments, or calling a tool when it should answer directly. You need a disciplined way to debug the behavior before shipping.
Question
How do you debug a tool the agent keeps calling incorrectly?
What To Look At
- Tool choice vs expected tool
- Argument schema violations
- Cases that should have asked a clarifying question
- Whether the tool output itself is causing confusion or injection
