Can the agent not call the same tool multiple times?

For example, my agent is configured with a chat_data tool. My goal is to break down the user’s question into several sub-questions, and each sub-question needs to call chat_data for processing, after which the results are combined for the final output.

However, the agent always calls chat_data only once and does not behave as expected. Could you please help confirm whether the agent is designed to call the same tool only once?

Hey @tom ! You can absolutely call the same agent multiple times. You can provide instructions to your agent so that is follows the behaviour.

Could you share your Agent configuration?
