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

The tool call has returned an error. What should you do?

Expected output

Interpret the error and if appropriate, retry the tool call.

Model output

Reasoning: I need to understand the error from the previous cycle and decide the next action. The context shows: trigger was user request for flights from London to Paris tomorrow. Past trajectory indicates we tried to determine tomorrow's date using the calendar tool, but calendar tool returned error - tool not available. However, looking at tools list, calendar tool status is 'available'. That suggests the error might have been due to some temporary issue or incorrect usage. Instructions say if a tool returns an error, think about the error and decide next action; max retries 3 times. This is first error, so I can retry. But also note: the calendar tool's purpose is to get current date/time. The flights tool requires date in YYYY-MM-DD format. We need tomorrow's date. Maybe we can compute date without calendar tool if we know today's date? But we don't have that. Alternative: we could use web_search to find current date? That's inefficient. Better to retry calendar tool once more, maybe with proper parameters. The calendar tool's params_schema shows empty properties, meaning no parameters required. So call calendar tool again. If it fails again, maybe we can approximate date? But user asked for tomorrow, which is relative. We could assume date based on context? Not reliable. Let's retry calendar tool. If error persists after retries, we might need to ask user for date or use system date if possible. However, instructions emphasize we should aim for most direct path. Since flights tool needs date, we must get date. Let's retry calendar tool now.

Response: The calendar tool returned an error. Since this is the first error, I will retry the calendar tool call (max 3 retries allowed). I will call the calendar tool again to retrieve current date and compute tomorrow's date. If it succeeds, I can proceed to call flights tool with parameters: from_city: London, to_city: Paris, date: tomorrow's date in YYYY-MM-DD. If it fails again, I will consider alternative approaches such as using web search to find current date or asking user for clarification.
