Decide what to do next: pick the right tool, plan multi-step actions, recover when something goes wrong. The hardest category — open-ended decisions, no single correct answer.

Input
You need to list all open orders for a specific customer whose ID is `cust_42`. Which tool/method do you choose and what parameter object do you send?
Expected output
Use the **database** tool with parameters {"action": "list_orders", "customer_id": "cust_42"}.
Model output
Reasoning: The task is to list all open orders for customer cust_42. Looking at the database tool, the appropriate method is `list_orders`, which according to the params_schema requires `action: 'list_orders'` and `customer_id`. Following the inspect-first rule, the schema confirms these are the only required params. The `list_orders` action does not have a status filter parameter in its schema, so I send only the required fields; filtering to 'open' orders would happen after retrieval. I select the database tool with the list_orders method.

Response: I choose the **database** tool using the **`list_orders`** method. Per its schema, this action requires `action` and `customer_id`. The parameter object to send is:

```json
{
  "action": "list_orders",
  "customer_id": "cust_42"
}
```

Note: The `list_orders` schema does not expose a status filter, so it returns all orders for the customer. I would then filter the returned results for those with an 'open' status, and persist the salient output to memory (e.g., `store_item` with key `open_orders_cust_42`).
