message tool fails silently when multiple channels configured — no context-aware fallback
증상
When multiple messaging channels are configured (e.g. telegram + whatsapp), the message tool always fails on first call if the LLM agent omits the channel parameter — even when the conversation context makes the intended channel unambiguous (e.g. replying to a WhatsApp message).
원인
Tool or plugin call failed due to schema mismatch, missing parameter, permission error, or upstream API change. 카테고리: tool-failure.
해결법
Explicitly document channel as mandatory in the agent’s workspace TOOLS.md:
`message` — ALWAYS specify `channel` (required, two active channels).
This reduces but doesn’t eliminate the issue since the tool schema still marks it as optional.
