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.

Context

Input

You attempted to call flights.search_flights, but the tool failed twice due to a timeout error. What is your next action according to the model instructions?

Expected output

Retry the flights.search_flights call one more time (maximum retries = 3), and if it fails again, log the failure and proceed with fallback steps or inform the user.

Model output

Reasoning: Let me analyze the current situation and determine the appropriate next action based on the given instructions.

1. I've attempted to call flights.search_flights twice, and both attempts failed due to timeout errors.
2. According to the instructions, rule #2 states: 'Max retries for a tool call = 3. Log and explain failures.'
3. Since I've only tried twice so far, I have one more attempt available before reaching the maximum of 3 retries.
4. The context shows I'm working on finding the cheapest flights from London to Paris for tomorrow (2025-05-29).
5. My planned next steps involve filtering by price and selecting the top 3 cheapest options, then storing them in memory.

Considering the instructions and current state, the appropriate next action would be to try the flights.search_flights call one more time (third attempt), as I haven't yet reached the maximum retry limit of 3. If this third attempt fails, I should log the failure, explain it to the user, and consider an alternative approach.

Response: Since I've only attempted to call flights.search_flights twice and the instructions specify a maximum of 3 retries for tool calls, my next action should be to try calling flights.search_flights one more time. I would use the same parameters as before: from_city='London', to_city='Paris', date='2025-05-29'. If this third attempt also fails, I would then log the failure, explain it to the user, and consider alternative approaches to fulfill the user's request.
