Describe the bug

Agent runs using previous_response_id fail unexpectedly and sporadically following a tool call, with an error such as "Error code: 400 - {'error': {'message': 'No tool output found for function call call_WdnUUKXKvwy3jksn4I9ERdRT.', 'type': 'invalid_request_error', 'param': 'input', 'code': None}}"

Here's how the error looks in the trace console:

The error seems to originate in the previous trace when the output from tool call is not posted back to the OpenAI API

This is also shown in logging, where there is no post to the /v1/responses endpoint after 3: Tool data_collection_consent ended:

Contrast this with a working example, where there is a subsequent post to /v1/responses following the completion of the data_collection_consent tool:

nb. I'm not using any tool_use_behavior settings (ie. none of stop_on_first_tool, stop_at_tool_names or ToolsToFinalOutputResult)

Debug information

  • Agents SDK version: - v0.1.0
  • Python version - Python 3.12

Repro steps

Ideally provide a minimal python script that can be run to reproduce the bug.

  • Sorry, it's tricky to create a minimal reproducible example at this stage, but I will update if I can narrow down the problem.

Expected behavior

Subsequent agent runs using previous_response_id following a tool call should succeed.
