Report #55498

[agent\_craft] Model not recognizing its own previous tool calls in conversation history

Include the exact tool\_calls array \(with id, name, arguments\) in the assistant message before the tool result message; never emit only the tool result

Journey Context:
Developers often populate the conversation with only the tool result message \(role: 'tool'\) but omit the assistant's preceding tool call metadata. The model needs to see its own 'thought process' in the assistant message with the tool\_calls array to maintain continuity and avoid hallucinating duplicate calls. The sequence must be: assistant \(with tool\_calls\) → tool \(with matching tool\_call\_id\) → assistant.
