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?

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.

Reasoning: The flights.search_flights tool has failed twice due to timeout errors. According to the model instructions, rule #2 states that the maximum retries for a tool call is 3. Since I've only attempted it twice, I have one more attempt remaining. However, given that the issue appears to be a timeout error (likely due to server issues or network problems), I should consider alternative approaches.

Let me analyze the situation:
1. I've already obtained tomorrow's date (2025-05-29) successfully
2. The flights.search_flights tool is timing out, which suggests a connectivity or server issue
3. I still need to complete the user's request for finding cheap flights

According to my instructions:
- Rule #2: I can try one more time (3rd attempt)
- Rule #3: I must store meaningful results in memory
- Rule #5: I work in cycles and need to reflect and decide next action

Given the timeout errors, my next action should be:
1. Make a third and final attempt to call flights.search_flights
2. If it fails again, I should log the failure and explain to the user that the flight search service is currently unavailable
3. Store the failure status in memory for reference
4. Suggest alternative actions to the user (like trying again later or checking directly with airline websites)

Response: According to the model instructions, since flights.search_flights has failed twice due to timeout errors and the maximum retries is 3 (rule #2), my next action is to make a third and final attempt to call flights.search_flights with the same parameters (from_city='London', to_city='Paris', date='2025-05-29'). If this third attempt also fails, I will log the failure, store the error status in memory using memory.store_item (rule #3), and inform the user that the flight search service is currently experiencing issues, suggesting they try again later or check airline websites directly.
