The n8n AI Agent has a known issue where it may fail to call tools even when instructed to do so. This can occur due to a missing `tool_choice` parameter in the model request, leading compatible providers to respond with prose instead of executing a tool. Debugging involves inspecting the execution trace, schema validation, tool messages, and memory persistence. A provider-free contract lab was developed to test safeguards, ensuring the agent handles cases with no tools, preserves explicit choices, and stops forcing tool calls after they appear in the message history.
