   Thanks for the report! I think this is a duplicate of #50814.

   The text you saw, [Assistant tool call]: shell({...}), is the format OpenCode uses when it writes earlier tool calls into the conversation history, for example after a compaction. Some models then copy that format as plain text instead of making a real tool call, so the command is never run. One comment on #50814 reports the same thing with stepfun-ai/step-5-preview on the NVIDIA endpoint.

   Possible duplicates and related issues, most likely first:

   • compaction: model emits tool calls as literal text after compaction — tools never run, session returns no output #50814: models write tool calls as literal [Assistant tool call]: ... text after compaction, and the tools never run (also reported with step-5-preview on NVIDIA)
   • Code Mode: model writes tool call markup as plain text — call is dropped and the step ends idle #57344: in Code Mode, the model writes its tool call as plain-text markup and the call is dropped
   • agent: empty <conversation-checkpoint> replies after compaction/revert are marked succeeded (no tools, no output) #57240: empty replies after compaction or revert are marked as succeeded

   Until it's fixed, starting a new session (or reverting to before the last compaction) usually gets real tool calls working again.

   The bot will close this issue as a duplicate in 1 day unless you reply explaining how your problem is different. If you do add to #50814, it would help to say whether your session had compacted before this started.

   Duplicate of #58932 this occurred way before a compaction, and it occurred randomly after i had existed and went back into the session after a pc update reboot

   Closing this as a duplicate of #50814. It covers the same problem: after a compaction, the model writes [Assistant tool call]: shell({...}) as plain text and the command never runs. That issue also has a report with stepfun-ai/step-5-preview on the NVIDIA endpoint. Please follow #50814 for updates, and add details there if you have them (for example, whether your session had compacted before this started). If your problem turns out to be different, reply here and we can reopen. Thanks for reporting!
