Hi @Mark_S, could you provide more context regarding the workflow setup or share additional details? Would be great if you can also share your workflow. > **Tip for sharing your workflow in the forum** > > #### Pasting your n8n workflow > > * * * > > Ensure to copy your n8n workflow and paste it in the _code block_, that is in between the pairs of triple backticks, which also could be achieved by clicking `` (preformatted text) in the editor and pasting in your workflow. > > ``` > \ > ``` > > Make sure that you’ve removed any sensitive information from your workflow and include dummy data or pinned data as much as you can! > > * * * ---

I have simple node with Message to OpenAI assistant and tool - creating record in Supabase. The problem is that Assistant generates multiple tools input, but tool use only first result. I tested it multiple times. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/d/8/d8efcceb7ad36a2f8346841c062a19555dc50518.png) ---

Hi @Mark_S Faced the same issue Have already reported here on community. Workaround for now what i did is created a sub workflow for each of my tools and called the sub workflow using Trigger workflow tool. As i can see in your screenshot,you have multiple tools so this workaround will be a hassle.Compared i had only 2 tools with connected to my agent. Hope n8n team fixes this soon. ---

I replaced Supabase node with PostgreSQL and it worked but now the same but - check on screenshot the output is the same for first and all other runs - input isn’t. ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/0/8/08d63b2804732a3db9d8a94696a2d052d880f9d5.png) ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/n8n/original/3X/d/2/d22fcee631f9c47f3f446fe9baa668651018614d.png) ---

@Mark_S have you tried what @AasimK suggested? Also, just fyi I think this is the related post that @AasimK is referring to: [Issue with Node as Tools calling several times with the same arguments - #13 by Baptiste\_JACQUEMET](http://community.n8n.io/t/issue-with-node-as-tools-calling-several-times-with-the-same-arguments/61487/13) ---

Yes, my problem is related to this topic. I know that I can use sub-workflows but the thing is to use tools for AI agent. ---
