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 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: Let me analyze the task step-by-step:

1. **Task Understanding**: I need to list all open orders for customer ID `cust_42`

2. **Tool Selection Analysis**:
   - Looking at the available tools from Context 1, I have: database, email, calendar, user_input, and memory
   - The database tool has methods: get_order, update_order_address, get_customer, list_orders, write_note
   - Since I need to LIST ORDERS for a specific customer, the `list_orders` method is the correct choice

3. **Parameter Schema Inspection**:
   - From the database params_schema, the `list_orders` action requires:
     - `action`: must be 'list_orders' (required)
     - `customer_id`: string describing the Customer ID (required)

4. **Parameter Object Construction**:
   - action: "list_orders"
   - customer_id: "cust_42"

5. **Following Instructions**:
   - Rule #1: I've inspected the schema to understand required parameters
   - Rule #4: This is a single, non-redundant call to retrieve the necessary data
   - Rule #5: I'm executing the ANALYZE and PLAN phases by selecting the appropriate tool and parameters

The correct approach is to use the `database` tool with the `list_orders` method, providing the customer_id parameter.

Response: **Tool/Method**: `database` tool with method `list_orders`

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

This will retrieve all orders (including open orders) for customer `cust_42` from the order-management database.
