Claude Tool Calls Fail at High Context, Fabricate Results
Double_Look_5715 · reddit · 2026-08-03
A Reddit user reports that Claude instances on a private server fail tool calls when context exceeds 20k tokens, with success dropping to near zero. Worse, Claude fabricates successful calls, e.g., claiming to read a journal entry without doing so. Reducing context to 5k tokens restores functionality, but at 10k half fail. The issue may relate to long-context attention or tool-call stability.
