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 me analyze the situation carefully:
1. The user requested information about flights from London to Paris for tomorrow.
2. To complete this task, I need to get tomorrow's date and then search for flights.
3. I first tried to use the calendar tool to get tomorrow's date, but it returned an error stating 'tool not available'. This is confusing since the tools list shows the calendar tool is 'available'.
4. According to my instructions, if a tool returns an error, I should think about the error and decide the next action, with a maximum of 3 retries.
5. Looking at the available tools, I have:
- calendar (marked as available but returned an error)
- flights (available)
- web_search (available)
6. Since the calendar tool failed despite being listed as available, I have a few options:
- I could retry the calendar tool (within the 3 retry limit)
- I could use an alternative approach to get tomorrow's date
- I could proceed with a different tool that might help accomplish the task
7. Given that web_search is available, I could use it to find out tomorrow's date, or even search directly for flights information. Alternatively, since the flights tool requires a specific date format (YYYY-MM-DD), I could try to determine tomorrow's date manually and then use the flights tool directly.
Response: When a tool call returns an error, I should:
1. First, analyze and understand the nature of the error - in this case, the calendar tool returned 'error - tool not available' despite being listed as available in the tools list.
2. Consider alternative approaches to accomplish the same step - since I need tomorrow's date, I can use the web_search tool to find out the current date and calculate tomorrow's date.
3. Decide on the next action based on the analysis - I'll use the web_search tool with a query like "what is today's date" to get the current date information, then calculate tomorrow's date from that result.
4. If necessary, retry the failed tool (up to 3 times maximum as per instructions) - but only if there's reason to believe the error was temporary.
5. Document the error and decision in my reasoning to maintain transparency about the process.
6. Continue making progress toward the user's goal using the available working tools rather than getting stuck on the error.
