Agents

AI agent reasoning and tool selection tests planning, tool choice, and self-diagnosis capabilities. These skills are crucial for autonomous ticket triage systems and complex agent workflows where models must decide which tools to use, plan multi-step processes, and diagnose when things go wrong. This represents some of the most challenging tasks as they require open-ended reasoning and decision-making.

The tool call has returned an error. What should you do?

Expected output

Interpret the error and if appropriate, retry the tool call.

Model output

Reasoning: Let's analyze the situation and determine the best course of action:

1. Current Context Analysis:
- We're in cycle 3 of helping a user find flights
- The calendar tool returned an error while trying to determine tomorrow's date
- The calendar tool is marked as 'available' in the tools list
- We have not exceeded the maximum retry limit (3 attempts)

2. Possible Causes of Error:
- Temporary tool unavailability
- Connection issues
- Invalid parameter format (though the calendar tool doesn't require parameters)

3. Available Options:
- Retry the calendar tool call
- Try an alternative approach to get the date
- Ask for user clarification

4. Decision Factors:
- The calendar tool is still listed as 'available'
- We need the date in YYYY-MM-DD format for the flights tool
- This is likely our first attempt at using the calendar tool

5. Best Course of Action:
- Since the tool is marked as available and we haven't exceeded retry limits, we should attempt to call the calendar tool again
- If it fails again, we can consider alternative approaches like asking the user to specify the date

Response: You should retry calling the calendar tool. Since the tool is marked as available and we haven't exceeded the maximum retry limit (3 attempts), a second attempt is warranted. If the tool fails again, consider alternative approaches such as asking the user to provide the specific date in the required YYYY-MM-DD format.
