Context
Input
You attempted to call flights.search_flights, but the tool failed twice due to a timeout error. What is your next action according to the model instructions?
Expected output
Retry the flights.search_flights call one more time (maximum retries = 3), and if it fails again, log the failure and proceed with fallback steps or inform the user.
Model output
Reasoning: Looking at the context, I can see that flights.search_flights has already failed twice due to timeout errors. According to the model instructions, the maximum retries for a tool call is 3. Since we've already attempted 2 times and failed, I have one more retry attempt available before I need to log and explain the failure.
The current situation is:
- User requested cheapest flights from London to Paris for tomorrow (2025-05-29)
- We successfully got tomorrow's date using calendar.get_tomorrow_date
- flights.search_flights has failed twice with timeout errors
- We're currently on step 2 of 4 in our planned process
Given the rule that max retries = 3, my next action should be to attempt the flights.search_flights call one final time (3rd attempt). If this also fails, then I would need to log the failure, explain it to the user, and potentially suggest alternative approaches or inform them that the flight search service is currently unavailable.
Response: According to the model instructions, the maximum retries for a tool call is 3. Since flights.search_flights has failed twice due to timeout errors, I should attempt the call one final time (3rd attempt). If this third attempt also fails, I must log and explain the failure to the user and consider alternative approaches or inform them that the flight search service is currently unavailable.
