Gemini keeps missing the tool it should use

A user reports that Gemini keeps failing at tool use.
In the example shown, the image filter is already selected, but the model still misunderstands the task and treats it as a plain text request instead of generating an image. The post is a small but concrete complaint about tool-selection and instruction-following behavior.
