Hi, I was running this [crewai example](https://github.com/crewAIInc/crewAI-examples/tree/main/trip_planner) with the latest version of crewai (`crewai==0.76.2`, `crewai-tools==0.13.2`, `langchain==0.3.4`) and I have internet searching function as a tool taking in a `query` argument (seen in the image below).

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex025/uploads/crewai/original/1X/b00f8031ea3b3d2f41bcf3021bedfe8b79a5179d.png)

The issue is that my LLM (OpenAI model (`gpt-4o-2024-08-06`)) is always returning argument as `name` instead of `query` in its response (e.g., `{` **name** `: 'ACTUAL_SEARCH_QUERY_FROM_LLM'}`). I am not sure if the LLM is misinterpreting the `name` argument in the `tool arguments` section (highlighted in the picture) as the function argument.

Can anyone help with (1) understanding **where this tool definition in the prompt is coming from** and (2) **how to resolve this error (to have llm output QUERY instead of NAME)**?  
Thanks.

Experiencing the same issue with crewai==0.76.9, pydantic==2.10.0.b1.

</div>

I believe that this behavior is a bug in the Agent class in `agent.py`, specifically in the `_render_text_description_and_args` function.

In this function, the input args for the tools are built from all fields on the Pydantic type, as opposed to the args\_schema fields only:

```auto
args_schema = str(tool.model_fields)

```

Instead, I’d gather the args like this:

```auto
args_schema = {key: val['type'] for key, val in tool.args.items()}

```

Am I missing something or can we fix this as described?

Hi @avishwa23,  
Are you running this example code?

Hi @tonykipkemboi , almost similar, the only difference being the way I am setting the model. I am setting the model name as an environment variable using `OPENAI_MODEL_NAME` which I guess CrewAI looks for. I am using the latest gpt-4o.

And the crewAI library version (`0.76.2`) is the latest (as of writing the original thread) as well.

I think you are right…At least the `_render_text_description_and_args` method is expected to do so (based on its docstrings, seen below). Do you think its a minor bug in the code @tonykipkemboi ?  
Thanks.
