n8n AI Agent Node Randomly Ignoring Connected Airtable Tools

Other Questions Airtable

Hi everyone,

I’m having a strange problem with the AI Agent node in n8n. I have 8 different Airtable tools connected that are supposed to grab information from various database tables.

The tools are all properly configured and linked to the AI Agent, but the behavior is really unpredictable. Sometimes it will only access one or two tools, other times it works with all of them, and occasionally it completely ignores every single tool.

Has anyone else experienced this kind of unreliable behavior when using Airtable connectors with AI Agent nodes?

  • Does anyone know if there’s a limit to how many tools one agent can handle effectively?
  • What are some proven strategies to ensure the AI agent consistently uses all connected tools?

Any advice or solutions would be really helpful!

Thanks!

might be a token limit thing. try breaking the tools into smaller sets. I’ve noticed odd stuff happens when there’s too much goin on at once. keeping it simple can help! good luck!
