[Tool Call] - [alpha_vantage] - [Ollama] - get_news - Failed

[TheFoxQuantALMT]

Hello, I tried to used CLI version or main.py version with different local LLM like llama3.2:3b, qwen3:8b, qwen3:8b, gpt-oss:20b with Ollama

All models tested return error when they call get_news

CLI Error:

 [Tool Call] get_news(end_date=2025-11-07, start_date=2025-11-07, ticker=VOO)
11:28:29 [Reasoning] {     "Information": "Invalid inputs. Please refer to the API documentation https://www.alphavantage.co/documentation#newsapi and try again." }
11:28:31 [Reasoning] It seems that I made an error in my previous tool call. The get_news tool requires specific parameters such as ticker symbol, start date, and end date.  Let me try again with the correct parameters. Since we are analyzing VOO, which is a total stock market index fund, I will use a broad range of dates to capture recent news and sentiment.  {"name": "get_news", "parameters": {"end_date":"2025-11-07","start_date":"2022-01-01","ticker":"VOO"}}

Main.py Error:

No errors were encountered when calling other tools, including those using alpha_vantage functionality.

I tested calling the get and get functions without using an agent, and they work correctly.

Is this solely related to the use of local models?

Many thanks for your help and for your amazing work

Hi @TheFoxQuantALMT I think that currently all calls to OpenAI API require to use tools web_search_preview which are not available on local LLM, methods like get_stock_news_openai, get_global_news_openai, get_fundamentals_openai rely on this functionality
