Automatic tools are not getting invoked when I'm prompting in Agent Mode

[souvikpal2000]

When Prompting in agent mode, I'm getting response like chat mode

I have noticed that role: "assistant" is not present in the array of messages only role: "user" is present, hence toolCalls attribute is also not present

config.yaml

name: Local Agent
version: 1.0.0
schema: v1
models:
  - name: Autodetect
    provider: openai
    model: AUTODETECT
    apiBase: https://servicesessentials.ibm.com/apis/v3
    apiKey: OFCOURSE_API_KEY_IS_VALID

We do our best to make system message tool calling work with most models, but it is not possible to have them for all.

This is our list of recommended models for Agent mode. https://docs.continue.dev/features/agent/model-setup#how-system-message-tools-function
