You attempted to call flights.search_flights, but the tool failed twice due to a timeout error. What is your next action according to the model instructions?Expected output
Retry the flights.search_flights call one more time (maximum retries = 3), and if it fails again, log the failure and proceed with fallback steps or inform the user.Model output
Reasoning: Looking at the context, I see that flights.search_flights has failed twice due to timeout errors. According to the model instructions, I have a maximum of 3 retries for any tool call. Since I've already attempted twice, I have one more retry available. However, given that both attempts resulted in timeout errors, this suggests a potential issue with the flights service.
Following the instructions:
1. Rule 2 states: 'Max retries for a tool call = 3. Log and explain failures.' - I still have one retry left.
2. Rule 5 states: 'You work in cycles: analyze, plan, act, reflect, and decide next action.'
Analyzing the situation:
- Two consecutive timeout errors suggest the flights service might be experiencing issues
- I need to complete the user's request to find cheap flights from London to Paris for 2025-05-29
- I have the calendar.get_tomorrow_date result stored (2025-05-29)
My options:
1. Try flights.search_flights one more time (3rd attempt)
2. Store the failure information in memory and report the issue to the user
3. Check if there are alternative methods in the flights tool that might work
Given that timeout errors often indicate temporary service issues, and I have one retry left, the most appropriate action is to attempt the flights.search_flights call one more time. If this third attempt also fails, I should then store the failure information in memory and inform the user that the flight search service is currently unavailable.
Response: According to the model instructions, I should attempt flights.search_flights one more time (third attempt) since the maximum retries allowed is 3 and I've only tried twice. If this third attempt also fails with a timeout error, I should then log the failure in memory using memory.store_item with a clear key like 'flight_search_failure', explain the issue to the user, and report that the flight search service appears to be temporarily unavailable.
