Agent not auto‑advancing on initial input

Hey team,

My agent is not auto advancing to next steps even when max steps is at 5.

And it seems that my agents memory is lagged by 1.

Please see image:

Specifically,

I’ve noticed that when I send my very first message:

I ate a chicken chop and I walked for 2 km
the agent replies with its generic greeting

(“Hello there! How’s your day going?…”), and only after I send a second message does it trigger the addFood and addExercise tool calls.

(“Hello there! How’s your day going?…”), and only after I send a second message does it trigger the addFood and addExercise tool calls.

What’s happening:

1st user message → generic greeting only

2nd user message (which is just a

) → adds food/exercise and shows summary

What I expected:

1st user message → immediately estimate calories/macros and log the exercise

I’ve attached a screenshot of the behavior. Could you point me to the specific prompt tweak or model config (function_call mode, streaming, max_steps, etc?) that will make the agent process the very first user input end‑to‑end?

Thanks!

NOTE I am not using a workflow, just tools, but this is a simple use case.
