I am doing initial exploration for set of single prompt agents. The "greeter" agent (agent_d001623d9af802041315a463b7) transfers to the "triage" agent (agent_3a3ff92e81df107545dba08855). I intentionally left "Speak Before Execution" unchecked/disabled, but the agent is still annoucing the transfer on the call. I have a simple simulation test (test_job_26975cd3ddb0) that demonstrates the problem.

Hi @sean To fix this, explicitly instruct in your agent's prompt something like: Do NOT announce or mention the transfer. Simply invoke the transfer tool without saying anything about it.
Or you can send a call id where you faced this issue

what is that "Speak Before Execution" toggle supposed to do if not manage this behavior?
