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

You must find today's date so you can time-stamp a help-desk note. Which tool do you call and with what parameters?

Expected output

Use the **calendar** tool with parameters {"action": "get_current_date"}.

Model output

Reasoning: To find today's date for time-stamping a help-desk note, I need to:
1. Identify which tool provides date/time functionality
2. Determine the correct method and parameters
3. Call the tool appropriately

Looking at the available tools:
- database: For order management data
- email: For customer communications
- calendar: For date & time utilities
- user_input: For customer interactions
- memory: For storing intermediate results

The 'calendar' tool is clearly the appropriate choice as it has 'Date & time utilities' in its description. Within the calendar tool methods, I can see 'get_current_date' which is exactly what I need.

Examining the calendar tool's params_schema for the 'get_current_date' action:
- It requires only the 'action' parameter set to 'get_current_date'
- No additional parameters are needed

This is a simple, atomic operation that will return today's date, which can then be used to time-stamp the help-desk note.

Response: To find today's date for time-stamping a help-desk note, I would call:

**Tool:** calendar
**Parameters:** 
```json
{
  "action": "get_current_date"
}
```

This call to the calendar tool with the `get_current_date` action requires no additional parameters and will return the current date in ISO-8601 format, which can then be used to time-stamp the help-desk note.
