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 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: I need to analyze the situation where flights.search_flights has failed twice due to timeout errors. According to the instructions, I have a maximum of 3 retries for any tool call. Since this is the second failure, I have one more retry attempt available. I should first check if there are any alternative methods in the flights tool that might be more reliable, or if I need to adjust my approach. The instructions emphasize storing meaningful results in memory after every tool call, so if the third attempt succeeds, I should immediately store the flight data. If the third attempt also fails, I'll need to report the persistent tool failure to the user and potentially explore alternative solutions.

Response: Attempt a third and final retry of flights.search_flights with the same parameters (from_city='London', to_city='Paris', date='2025-05-29'). If this attempt succeeds, proceed to filter the results by price, select the top 3 cheapest options, and store them in memory using memory.store_item with key 'top_flights'. If the third attempt fails due to timeout, report the persistent tool failure to the user and suggest alternative approaches such as trying again later or using a different flight search method if available.
