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.

The scratch_pad is missing updates for cycles 21-25. Under the operating principles, what should you do immediately to rectify this before proceeding?
Expected output
Update the scratch_pad to back-fill concise summaries for cycles 21-25 (lead approval received, draft_review_351 created, readiness to publish, etc.), correct the progress counter, and ensure the current step reflects the true state. Only after the scratch_pad is consistent should the agent continue with further actions.
Model output
Reasoning: To address the missing scratch_pad updates for cycles 21-25, I need to follow the operating principles. According to principle #2 (Deterministic memory), 'Every substantial tool result must be persisted via the memory tool under a meaningful key.' The Scratch_pad protocol specifies that at every cycle, the scratch_pad should include current step and result summary, remaining goals, notes and assumptions, and a progress counter. Since cycles 21-25 are missing from the scratch_pad, I should immediately update the scratch_pad by writing to memory using the memory.write_memory action to ensure all critical information about these cycles is properly documented before proceeding with finalizing the review.

Response: You should immediately update the scratch_pad with the missing information for cycles 21-25 using the memory.write_memory action. According to the 'Deterministic memory' operating principle and the 'Scratch_pad protocol', you need to document each substantial tool result and cycle details. For each missing cycle (21-25), add the current step, brief summary of results, remaining goals, notes and assumptions, and a progress counter. This documentation must be completed before proceeding with finalizing and publishing the review.
