Cause (Documented platform behavior): The session tracks tool invocation identity to avoid executing side-effecting tools twice; an executed-but-uncommitted call is not safely retryable.
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- Model reused a Realtime tool call ID for a different invocation. Use a unique call ID for each tool invocation.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- After a dropped connection or interruption, a replayed function_call event for the same call_id raises instead of re-running the tool.
- Context
- Product: OpenAI Agents SDK (Python) Component: agents.realtime RealtimeSession tool execution Operation: Realtime session tool call replay after reconnect/interrupt Affected versions: observed in openai-agents 0.22.3 source; introduction version unknown Environment: unknown Exception: ModelBehaviorError Packages: openai-agents source at 0.22.3 (main 61e98ab) Trigger: The same call_id is delivered again after the tool ran but before its output was sent/committed, or a call_id is reused for a different invocation.

Proposed fix: [OpenAI Agents SDK Realtime] ModelBehaviorError 'A Realtime tool call already executed, but its output was not committed. Start a new call instead of retrying the invocation.'
Recommended action: Treat as non-idempotent: have the model issue a new tool call (new call_id); make tools idempotent where possible.
Option: Start a fresh tool call [evidence: documented_workaround]
Steps:
1. Prompt/let the model issue a new call
2. Design tools to be idempotent
Expected: No duplicate execution
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
