Add to Chat, then ask to reformulate --> Agent is missing context

If I highlight 2 lines in a md document, then Add to Chat, then type in “reformulate”, the agent says

“The user has sent a message with just the word “reformulate” without any other context. From the additional data, I see there’s a snippet from a file called lab_9_agents.md that mentions tasks being independent and left open-ended for creativity. However, there’s not enough context to understand what specifically the user wants me to reformulate.”

I would expect the agent to know the context.

Does my description make sense?
