Roo Code Task Links (Optional)
No response
🔁 Steps to Reproduce
- set "Errors and Repeatition Limit" is 1
- Ask any questions to trigger tool calls
- You can see that the tool is called normally, but an error message is given at the end: This may indicate a failure in the model's thought process or inability to use a tool properly, which can be mitigated with some user guidance (e.g. "Try breaking down the task into smaller steps").
💥 Outcome Summary
Expecting the tool to be called, but an error was reported
