Agents – anthropic/claude-opus-4.5 Task

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.

Input

Your first step is to break down the problem and formulate a step by step plan. What is the plan?

Expected output

(1) Ask the user how many days before they want the reminder. (2) Use the email tool to search for emails about the yearly gathering. (3) Read the relevant email to extract the event date. (4) Use the calendar tool to add the event. (5) Check for any calendar conflicts. (6) Add the reminder X days before the event

Model output

Reasoning: Let me analyze the user's request and break it down into a clear plan. The user wants to:
1. Add the yearly company dinner to their calendar
2. Set a reminder some days before the event
3. They mentioned there's an email with more information about the event

To accomplish this, I need to:
1. First find and read the email about the company dinner to get the details (date, time, location, etc.)
2. Check the calendar for any potential conflicts on that date
3. Create the calendar event with the information from the email
4. Set an appropriate reminder (need to clarify how many days before if not specified in email)

The tools available are: email (search_emails, read_email), calendar (read_calendar, create_event), web_search, and request_user_input.

Response: **Step-by-Step Plan for Adding Company Dinner to Calendar:**

---

**Step 1: Search for the Company Dinner Email**
- Use the `email.search_emails` tool with a query like "company dinner" or "yearly dinner" to find the relevant email
- This will help locate the email containing event details

**Step 2: Read the Email to Extract Event Details**
- Use `email.read_email` with the email ID from the search results
- Extract key information:
  - Event date
  - Event time
  - Location/venue
  - Any other relevant details

**Step 3: Check Calendar for Conflicts**
- Use `calendar.read_calendar` to check the date range around the company dinner date
- Verify there are no scheduling conflicts
- If conflicts exist, inform the user

**Step 4: Clarify Reminder Preference (if needed)**
- The user mentioned "some days before" but didn't specify exactly how many
- If the email doesn't specify, use `request_user_input` to ask the user how many days in advance they want the reminder

**Step 5: Create the Calendar Event**
- Use `calendar.create_event` with:
  - Event name: "Yearly Company Dinner" (or as specified in email)
  - Date: extracted from email
  - Reminder: specified number of days before

**Step 6: Confirm Completion**
- Summarize what was created to the user
- Confirm the event details and reminder are correct
