OpenAI node Wikipedia tool has suddenly gone crazy after n8n update

Hi,

Unsure if this related to OpenAI or n8n.

I have a flow that creates blog posts using an Open AI node and the Wikipedia tool. It has been running for weeks with out issue.

Then, out of the blue, the exact same node, unchanged, started repeatedly using the Wikipedia tool until a open AI limit is hit or the credits run out. Luckily I had a limit set but it still burn’t through $50 in one flow!

The flow was untouched. At about the same time this happened I did update my self hosted docker compose n8n to the latest version. Could there be an issue with the latest version? If I remove the Wikipedia tool, the node works fine.

As I made no changes to the flow, the issue must have either come from some change with the openAI model (using the 4o model) or it is the n8n update?

Has anyone seen this behaviour? Also a warning to check so you don’t burn dollars like I have

It looks like your topic is missing some important information. Could you provide the following if applicable.

  • n8n version:
  • Database (default: SQLite):
  • n8n EXECUTIONS_PROCESS setting (default: own, main):
  • Running n8n via (Docker, npm, n8n cloud, desktop app):
  • Operating system:

Same happened with the calculator! I didn’t realize until $60 drained from my openai api calls.

I have had to disconnect all my tools for the AI agents which sucks.

Is this an n8n bug?
