## Title

    [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.'

## Body

    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):
    - https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openai/openai-agents-python/61e98ab7bd0d993eed4c65bb8b68320075227417/src/agents/realtime/session.py (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Raises these ModelBehaviorErrors when a tool call id is replayed after execution without committed output or reused for a different invocation.
    
    Search phrasings: realtime tool call already executed output not committed; openai agents realtime reused tool call ID
    
    Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): public_source.
