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: I need to identify the appropriate tool and method to list all open orders for a specific customer with ID 'cust_42'. Looking at the available tools in the context:

1. The 'database' tool has methods including 'list_orders' which is designed to retrieve orders.
2. According to the params_schema for the database tool, the 'list_orders' action requires:
   - 'action': must be 'list_orders'
   - 'customer_id': the Customer ID (required)

This is exactly what we need - the list_orders method accepts a customer_id parameter and will return the orders for that customer. The tool name is 'database' and the method/action is 'list_orders'.

Response: To list all open orders for customer ID `cust_42`, I would use:

**Tool:** `database`

**Method:** `list_orders`

**Parameter object:**
```json
{
  "action": "list_orders",
  "customer_id": "cust_42"
}
```

This is the correct choice because:
1. The `database` tool is designed for order-management data operations
2. The `list_orders` method specifically retrieves orders associated with a customer
3. According to the schema, this action requires exactly two properties: `action` (set to 'list_orders') and `customer_id` (the customer identifier)

This single tool call will return the orders for the specified customer, which can then be filtered for open/active status if needed based on the response data.
