The thing is, to do a proper fix it would really need all of the context (maybe the tool call that failed was for an edit to a file that was last touched way at the beginning of the context), so you'd need to either keep that smaller model running doing prompt processing all the time, or have a very long wait while it does prompt processing on your whole session.

And then also, sometimes the tool call errors are because of something like a file was changed out from under it; the larger model is probably going to do a better job of figuring that out and fixing it up.

Finally, in Pi, you can always just use the /tree command to skip back to before a series of failed tool calls, with a summary if you want to let the model know what happened. The Pi /tree command is pretty powerful in managing your context
