Tool Call Repitition
# ❓・bug-report
a
We are having issues where the agent keeps repeating the "Speak During Execution" instructions while making tool calls. For example, Let me pull up available times.Let me pull up available times.Let me pull up available times.Let me pull up available times.Let me pull up available times.Let me pull up available times.Let me pull up available times.Let me pull up available times.Let me pull up available times.Let me pull up available times. Can you please look into call call_6eea283539062012ef72fb0913a

Hi @AkivaG
Switch to Static Text instead of Prompt for the Speak During Execution setting.
a
ok, will try that
@Shah - support @ Retell AI even if static text is blank?
s
In static the agent speaks the exact text you provide

I started to see the same pattern from last week, or maybe it started a couple of weeks back(don't remember, thought it was one time thing). Before that, it was working like a charm for 1M+ calls, now it gets like ~25% error rate: does nothing after the function(not speaking) or repeats the same thing over and over and over. Something has changed, and it ain't looking good. This one is single prompt agent. P.s. we used same agents for months, so we did not change agent itself(prompt) @AkivaG @Shah - support @ Retell AI @Omar Ashraf | Community Lead https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1475941316910387270/1475985629627154606/Screenshot_2026-02-25_000614.png?ex=699f7a3c&is=699e28bc&hm=f5e0436c948b493ec0d6ccde8f042f8470229ea69fc958897acd3fd42a9a27d4&

which model is this?
j
GPT5.1 but we used it from the beginning when it appeared, was good till like 2 weeks ago, thoughts?

@Justin Leon thanks---been having the same issue, I don't think it's a static vs prompt issue

Yeah we didn't have anything similar to this before on any model, 4o, 5, 5.1, this is rare, but looks like from time to time we get this, total silence or repeating same thing over and over after using function.
