When you say you wait a minute then the tool works again, is the compressor motor running in the interim? If not then you likely have a supply /pressure drop (in the hose) issue.

It would be helpful to temporarily put an air pressure gauge at the tool.
That's your best answer there.
Do some basic diagnostics. Are there any valves or devices between the tank and the tool that could be cause a flow problem (it sounds like a flow problem to me). What is the condition of the hose (kinks, collapsed places, car parked on the hose, leaks, etc). Eliminate every variable - meaning valves, hoses, devices - you can, one at a time, working your way back to the tank, to see if there is a difference.
