Passing arguments to ENTRYPOINT causes the container to start and run indefinitely

Question

Here's the docker-compose.yml file:

version: "3"
services:
  db_cassandra:
    container_name: db_cassandra
    image: cassandra:latest
    volumes:
      - "./common/cassandra:/lua/cassandra_setup:rw"
    environment:
      WORKSPACE: "/tmp"
      SERVICES_ROOT_DIR: "/services_root"
    healthcheck:
        test: ["CMD", "cqlsh", "-u", "cassandra", "-p", "cassandra" ]
        interval: 5s
        timeout: 5s
        retries: 60
    ports:
      - "9042:9042"

  remote_cassandra:
    container_name: remote_cassandra
    build:
      context: ../.
      dockerfile: ./it/remote_cassandra/Dockerfile
      args:
        BASE_IMAGE: cassandra:latest
    depends_on:
      dd_cassandra:
        condition: service_healthy
    volumes:
      - "./common/cassandra:/lua/cassandra_setup:rw"
    environment:
      WORKSPACE: "/tmp"
      SERVICES_ROOT_DIR: "/services_root"

Here's the remote_cassandra/Dockerfile:

ARG BASE_IMAGE
FROM ${BASE_IMAGE}

COPY ./it/common/cassandra/cassandra-setup.sh /
RUN chmod +x /cassandra-setup.sh

CMD ["/cassandra-setup.sh", "db_cassandra"]

remote_cassandra remotely connects to the db_cassandra service and executes certain queries.

Here's how the cassandra-setup.sh script looks like:

#!/bin/bash
#code that creates schema.cql
.
.
.
DB_CONTAINER="$1"
while ! cqlsh $DB_CONTAINER 9042 -e 'describe cluster' ; do
  echo "waiting for db_cassandra to be up..."
  sleep .5
done
cqlsh $DB_CONTAINER 9042 -f "${WORKSPACE}/schema.cql"

When I pass the "dd_cassandra" as an argument to ENTRYPOINT, the docker containers are created and nothing happens after that, they keep waiting indefinitely.

However, if I don't pass the argument and simply hardcode it in the cassandra-setup.sh script like this below, then things run smoothly:

#!/bin/bash
#code that creates schema.cql
.
.
.

while ! cqlsh db_cassandra 9042 -e 'describe cluster' ; do
  echo "waiting for db_cassandra to be up..."
  sleep .5
done
cqlsh db_cassandra 9042 -f "${WORKSPACE}/schema.cql"

I've also tried with:

ENTRYPOINT ["/cassandra-setup.sh"]
CMD ["db_cassandra"]

and it doesn't work too.
