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.

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: Let me analyze this task step by step:

1. **Task Analysis**: I need to schedule three follow-up reminders with specific timing:
   - Tomorrow (1 day from now)
   - Five business days later (from today)
   - Exactly two weeks later (14 days from today)

2. **Available Tools Assessment**: Looking at the context, I have access to:
   - `calendar` tool: Has methods like `get_current_date`, `add_business_days`, and `schedule_reminder`
   - `memory` tool: For storing intermediate results
   - Other tools (database, email, user_input) that aren't directly relevant for this scheduling task

3. **Approach Planning**: To schedule these reminders efficiently, I need to:
   - Get the current date as a reference point
   - Calculate the three target dates (tomorrow, +5 business days, +14 days)
   - Schedule the three reminders

4. **Parallel Execution Strategy**: Since the instructions mention tools can run in parallel and I should minimize total tool calls while ensuring efficiency, I can make multiple independent calendar tool calls simultaneously:
   - Get current date
   - Calculate business days offset
   - Schedule all three reminders (since each has different parameters)

5. **Tool Call Structure**: Based on the calendar tool schema, I'll need to make calls with `action` parameter and appropriate discriminator mapping.

Response: I will make the following tool calls in parallel to efficiently schedule the three follow-up reminders:

**Tool Call 1:** `calendar` with `action: "get_current_date"` - to establish the baseline date for calculations

**Tool Call 2:** `calendar` with `action: "add_business_days"` and appropriate parameters - to calculate the date that is 5 business days from today

**Tool Call 3:** `calendar` with `action: "schedule_reminder"` for tomorrow's reminder

**Tool Call 4:** `calendar` with `action: "schedule_reminder"` for the 5-business-days reminder (will use result from Tool Call 2)

**Tool Call 5:** `calendar` with `action: "schedule_reminder"` for the 2-weeks reminder

**Tool Call 6:** `memory` with `action: "store_item"` - to persist the scheduled reminder details for tracking

This approach leverages parallel execution capability while following the efficiency-first principle, minimizing the total cycles needed by batching independent operations together. The current date and business day calculation can run simultaneously, and I can schedule multiple reminders in parallel once I have the calculated dates.
