variable in api tool

I believe I have set this up correctly but the variable in my api request tool url will not populate the dynamic data. I am successfully setting the variable from the HTTP request which initiates the call. I can successfully query the get URL value when I hard code a static value into the URL. But the moment I add the variable to the URL it doesn't recognize it and sends the literal variable text to the GET URL which returns nothing.

Try this:
Make sure your API tool defines the variable in the body schema, even for GET requests. For example:

{
  "type": "apiRequest",
  "name": "getHistory",
  "url": "https://rnogrvgymqipnmwgxjmp.supabase.co/rest/v1/n8n_chat_histories_maverick?select=*&ten_digit=eq.{{ten_digit}}&limit=20",
  "method": "GET",
  "body": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "ten_digit": {
        "description": "The ten digit phone number",
        "type": "string"
      }
    },
    "required": ["ten_digit"]
  }
}

{
  "type": "apiRequest",
  "name": "getHistory",
  "url": "https://rnogrvgymqipnmwgxjmp.supabase.co/rest/v1/n8n_chat_histories_maverick?select=*&ten_digit=eq.{{ten_digit}}&limit=20",
  "method": "GET",
  "body": {
    "type": "object",
    "properties": {
      "ten_digit": {
        "description": "The ten digit phone number",
        "type": "string"
      }
    },
    "required": ["ten_digit"]
  }
}

This ensures {{ten_digit}} is recognized and replaced in your URL.
Check your tool config and redeploy if needed.
