You want to schedule three follow-up reminders:
• One for tomorrow,
• One for five business days later,
• One exactly two weeks later.
You are allowed to call tools in parallel, as they run in the cloud. What tool calls will you make?Expected output
First: Call **calendar.get_current_date** → {"action": "get_current_date"} and persist result as "today".
In Parallel:
• **calendar.add_business_days** → {"action": "add_business_days", "start_date": "today", "days_to_add": 1}
• **calendar.add_business_days** → {"action": "add_business_days", "start_date": "today", "days_to_add": 5}
• **calendar.add_business_days** → {"action": "add_business_days", "start_date": "today", "days_to_add": 14}
Next: For each result, persist separately using **memory.store_item** with keys like "date_plus_1", "date_plus_5", "date_plus_14".
Then: For each stored date, call **calendar.schedule_reminder** with {"action": "schedule_reminder", "date": "<calculated_date>", "reminder_text": "Follow-up"}.
Finally: Persist each reminder result separately using **memory.store_item** with keys like "reminder_tomorrow", "reminder_5bdays", "reminder_2wks".Model output
Reasoning: The task asks what tool calls I will make to schedule three follow-up reminders:
1. One for tomorrow
2. One for five business days later
3. One exactly two weeks later
Let me think through this systematically:
**Step 1: Get the current date first**
Before I can schedule any reminders, I need to know today's date. I must call `calendar` with `get_current_date` to establish the baseline.
**Step 2: Compute the three target dates**
Once I have today's date:
- Tomorrow = today + 1 calendar day
- Five business days later = today + 5 business days (using `add_business_days`)
- Two weeks later = today + 14 calendar days
For tomorrow and two weeks later, I can compute these directly once I have the current date (simple arithmetic). For five business days later, I need `calendar.add_business_days`.
**Step 3: Schedule the three reminders**
Once I have all three dates, I call `calendar.schedule_reminder` three times — these are logically independent and can run in parallel.
**Step 4: Persist results to memory**
After each successful call, store results in memory.
So the tool call sequence is:
**Cycle 1:** `calendar { action: 'get_current_date' }` — get baseline date
**Cycle 2 (parallel):**
- `calendar { action: 'add_business_days', ... }` — compute +5 business days date
- (tomorrow and +14 days can be computed from the result of cycle 1 without additional tool calls, but I still need to format/confirm via `format_date` or just use the date arithmetic)
Actually, let me reconsider. For tomorrow and two weeks later, I can calculate directly, but the instructions say to use the calendar tool for date operations. So I should use `add_business_days` for the +5 business days calculation. Tomorrow and +14 days are simple enough to derive, but to be safe and tool-consistent, I could also call `format_date` or just use them directly.
The most efficient approach:
1. `calendar.get_current_date` → get today
2. In parallel: `calendar.add_business_days` (for +5 biz days) — the other two dates I can derive mathematically
3. In parallel: Three `calendar.schedule_reminder` calls for the three dates
4. Three `memory.store_item` calls to persist each reminder result
Let me now formulate the actual tool calls I will make:
Response: ## Tool Calls I Will Make
Scheduling three reminders requires knowing the current date first, then computing target dates, then scheduling — with parallel execution wherever calls are independent.
---
### 🔵 Cycle 1 — Get Current Date (prerequisite for everything)
```json
{
"tool": "calendar",
"params": {
"action": "get_current_date"
}
}
```
*Must be serial — all date calculations depend on this result.*
---
### 🔵 Cycle 2 — Compute the +5 Business Days Date (parallel with memory store from Cycle 1)
Tomorrow (+1 calendar day) and two weeks later (+14 calendar days) can be derived directly from today's date by simple arithmetic. However, **business-day counting** requires a dedicated tool call:
**Call A** — Add 5 business days:
```json
{
"tool": "calendar",
"params": {
"action": "add_business_days",
"base_date": "<today's date from Cycle 1>",
"days": 5
}
}
```
**Call B** — Persist today's date to memory:
```json
{
"tool": "memory",
"params": {
"key": "current_date",
"value": "<today's date from Cycle 1>"
}
}
```
*These two are independent and run in parallel.*
---
### 🔵 Cycle 3 — Schedule All Three Reminders in Parallel
Once all three target dates are known (`today+1`, `add_business_days result`, `today+14`), all three `schedule_reminder` calls are **logically independent** and run in parallel:
**Call A** — Reminder for tomorrow:
```json
{
"tool": "calendar",
"params": {
"action": "schedule_reminder",
"remind_at": "<today + 1 day (ISO-8601)>",
"message": "Follow-up reminder #1 — Tomorrow"
}
}
```
**Call B** — Reminder for +5 business days:
```json
{
"tool": "calendar",
"params": {
"action": "schedule_reminder",
"remind_at": "<today + 5 business days (ISO-8601)>",
"message": "Follow-up reminder #2 — Five business days out"
}
}
```
**Call C** — Reminder for +2 weeks:
```json
{
"tool": "calendar",
"params": {
"action": "schedule_reminder",
"remind_at": "<today + 14 calendar days (ISO-8601)>",
"message": "Follow-up reminder #3 — Two weeks out"
}
}
```
*All three fire simultaneously since none depends on the others.*
---
### 🔵 Cycle 4 — Persist All Three Reminder Results in Parallel
**Call A:**
```json
{ "tool": "memory", "params": { "key": "reminder_tomorrow", "value": "<reminder ID + date>" } }
```
**Call B:**
```json
{ "tool": "memory", "params": { "key": "reminder_5_biz_days", "value": "<reminder ID + date>" } }
```
**Call C:**
```json
{ "tool": "memory", "params": { "key": "reminder_two_weeks", "value": "<reminder ID + date>" } }
```

## Summary Table
| Cycle | Calls | Parallel? | Tool(s) |
|-------|-------|-----------|----------|
| 1 | 1 | No (serial) | `calendar.get_current_date` |
| 2 | 2 | ✅ Yes | `calendar.add_business_days` + `memory.store_item` |
| 3 | 3 | ✅ Yes | `calendar.schedule_reminder` × 3 |
| 4 | 3 | ✅ Yes | `memory.store_item` × 3 |
| **Total** | **9** | — | — |
**Minimum serial depth: 4 cycles** (instead of 9 sequential steps), thanks to parallel execution in Cycles 2, 3, and 4.
