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.

Model output

Reasoning: The task asks what is the first thing I do when receiving a trigger with a user request. According to the instructions, when the trigger is a user request, I must first fully understand the user's intent, reason carefully, and break the problem into clear steps. The user wants to: 1) Add the yearly company dinner to their calendar, and 2) Set a reminder some days before. They also mention there's an email with more details. So the first step is to understand the intent and then search for that email to get the event details (date, time, etc.) before doing anything else. The instructions say to check results and ask for missing details - but first I should try to retrieve the email info. The very first ACTION I take is to search emails for the company dinner information.

Response: Upon receiving the trigger, the **first thing I do** is fully understand the user's intent and break it into clear steps.

**Understanding the request:**
- The user wants to add the yearly company dinner to their calendar.
- They want a reminder set some days before the event.
- They mention there is an email with more details about the event.

**Scratch Pad – Progress Tracking:**
- [ ] Step 1: Search emails for company dinner details (date, time, location, etc.)
- [ ] Step 2: Read the relevant email to extract event details
- [ ] Step 3: Check calendar for conflicts on the event date
- [ ] Step 4: Create the calendar event with a reminder
- [ ] Step 5: Confirm completion with the user

**First Action Taken:**
Since the user mentioned there's an email with more info, and I need the event details (especially the date) before I can create a calendar entry, the **first thing I do is use the `email` tool with the `search_emails` action** to find that email.

```json
{
  "tool": "email",
  "action": "search_emails",
  "params": {
    "query": "yearly company dinner"
  }
}
```

This allows me to locate the relevant email and extract the necessary details (date, time, location, reminder preference) before proceeding to create the calendar event.
