Vapi to N8n

Problem:
My assistant is speaking the tool call instead of executing it.
The tool worked earlier with a test URL but stops working with the live webhook URL.

Expected:
After asking “What is your name?, the assistant should output ONLY:

{
"tool": "n8n_CRM_System",
"payload": { "answer": "<USER_ANSWER>" }
}


Actual:
The assistant says things like:
“Tool. n8n CRM system. Payload answer John.
No tool is executed, and no request hits my n8n webhook.

Model:
ChatGPT 4o (latest) Cluster — also tested 4.1, 4o mini, etc.

Tool Schema:

{
"type": "object",
"properties": {
"answer": { "type": "string" }
},
"required": ["answer"]
}


Webhook:
https://torrevie.app.n8n.cloud/webhook/simonswerk-crm-meeting

Request:
Why is the assistant speaking the JSON instead of firing the tool?

Call ID:
(Will provide on reply)
