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 have received responses from all tools after 3 retries. They are all unavailable. Can you still achieve your goal?

Expected output

No, I cannot achieve my goal.

Model output

Reasoning: Let me analyze the current situation:

1. The user wants to find flights from London to Paris for tomorrow
2. We've been through 3 cycles trying to get the calendar tool to work to determine tomorrow's date
3. The task states all tools are unavailable after 3 retries
4. However, I notice that the tools list shows all three tools (calendar, flights, web_search) as 'available'

The core issue is that without knowing the current date, I cannot determine 'tomorrow's date' to search for flights. The calendar tool failed after 3 retries.

Options to consider:
1. I could try the web_search tool to find the current date
2. I could ask the user to provide today's date or tomorrow's date directly
3. I cannot simply make up a date as that would be inaccurate

Since I'm an AI without access to real-time information and all tools have reportedly failed after 3 retries, I cannot independently determine today's date to calculate tomorrow's date. The most appropriate action is to:
- Acknowledge the limitation
- Explain what happened
- Ask the user to provide the specific date they need flights for

This is the honest and most helpful approach when tools are unavailable.

Response: I apologize, but I'm unable to complete your flight search request at this time. Here's what happened:

**Issue:** After 3 attempts, the calendar tool remained unavailable, which means I couldn't determine tomorrow's exact date to search for flights.

**What I can do instead:**

Could you please provide me with the specific date you need to travel? For example, if you tell me "2024-01-15" (in YYYY-MM-DD format), I can then attempt to use the flights tool to search for available flights from London to Paris on that date.

Alternatively, if you know today's date, please share it and I'll calculate tomorrow's date for you.

**Why this matters:** The flights search tool requires an exact date in YYYY-MM-DD format, and without knowing the current date, I cannot accurately determine what "tomorrow" is.

Please provide the travel date and I'll immediately search for available flights for you.
