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: The trigger was a user request for flights from London to Paris for tomorrow. To call the 'flights' tool, I need tomorrow's date in YYYY-MM-DD format, which is why the 'calendar' tool was called. That call returned an error ('tool not available'), even though the tool registry lists it as available — suggesting a possibly transient failure. Per my instructions: when a tool returns an error, my next action is to reason about the error and decide the next step, and I may retry a failed tool call up to 3 times. Since this was the first failure and the error appears transient, the most direct path is to retry the 'calendar' tool (retry 1 of 3). I should also plan a fallback: if all retries fail, I can use the 'web_search' tool (query like 'current date today') to determine today's date, compute tomorrow's date, and then proceed to call the 'flights' tool with from_city='London', to_city='Paris', and the computed date. I will update the scratch pad to track the retry count and the fallback plan.
Response: The calendar tool error appears transient (the registry still lists it as 'available'), so the correct next action is to RETRY the 'calendar' tool call (attempt 1 of max 3 retries), as my instructions allow up to 3 retries after a tool error. Plan: 1) Re-call 'calendar' to obtain the current date and compute tomorrow's date in YYYY-MM-DD format. 2) If the calendar tool fails again, retry up to the 3-retry limit; if it still fails, fall back to the 'web_search' tool with a query like 'what is today's date' to determine the current date and derive tomorrow's date. 3) Once tomorrow's date is known, call the 'flights' tool with {from_city: 'London', to_city: 'Paris', date: '<tomorrow YYYY-MM-DD>'}. 4) Store the flight results in working memory and present a summary of available flights to the user. Scratch pad update: 'Calendar tool errored once — retrying (1/3); fallback = web_search for current date; then proceed to flights search.'
