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 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 situation step by step:

1. **Current State**: I've attempted to use the calendar tool 3 times and all attempts have failed with 'tool not available' errors. This is cycle 3, which is my maximum retry limit.

2. **Original Goal**: Find flights from London to Paris for tomorrow. This requires:
   - Knowing tomorrow's date (needed the calendar tool)
   - Searching for flights (needs the flights tool with a date parameter)

3. **Critical Problem**: The calendar tool is unavailable after 3 retries, so I cannot get tomorrow's date programmatically.

4. **Alternative Approaches Available**:
   - I can use the web_search tool, which is listed as 'available'
   - Web search can potentially help me find: (a) today's date and calculate tomorrow, (b) flight information directly
   - I could search for "flights London to Paris tomorrow" or "current date" and work from there

5. **Can I Still Achieve the Goal?**:
   - **YES**, I can still achieve the goal using the web_search tool as an alternative
   - The web_search tool can help me find current date information
   - It can also potentially find flight information directly
   - While not as precise as using dedicated tools, it's a viable fallback

6. **Recommended Next Action**:
   - Use web_search to find "current date today" to determine tomorrow's date
   - Then use web_search to find flights or try the flights tool if I can establish the date
   - Alternatively, search directly for "flights London to Paris tomorrow" which the search engine should interpret correctly

The goal is still achievable through alternative means, though the path is less optimal than the original plan.

Response: Yes, I can still achieve the goal despite the calendar tool being unavailable after 3 retries.

**Alternative Solution:**
I can use the **web_search tool** (which is listed as available) to accomplish the task:

1. **Option A - Direct Flight Search**: Perform a web search with the query "flights London to Paris tomorrow" - search engines understand relative date terms like "tomorrow" and will return current, relevant results.

2. **Option B - Two-step Approach**: 
   - First, search for "today's date" to establish the current date
   - Calculate tomorrow's date
   - Then either use the flights tool with the specific date, or search for flights with that specific date

**Recommended Next Action:**
Proceed with Option A using web_search with query: "flights from London to Paris tomorrow" as it's the most direct path and search engines handle relative dates effectively.

While this approach is less precise than using dedicated tools, it will still provide the user with relevant flight information to answer their request.
