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.

Model output
Reasoning: I need to handle the error from the calendar tool in the previous cycle. The calendar tool returned an error 'tool not available', but it's actually listed as available in our tool set. According to the instructions, when a tool returns an error, I should think about the error and decide on a next action, with up to 3 retries allowed. Since we need tomorrow's date to search for flights from London to Paris and the calendar tool failed, I have several options: 1) Retry the calendar tool immediately, 2) Ask the user for the specific date, 3) Try using 'tomorrow' directly with the flights tool to see if it accepts this relative date format. Since I'm allowed retries, I'll first try calling the calendar tool again. If it fails again, I'll ask the user for the specific date.

Response: When a tool call returns an error, I should first analyze the error and determine the next action. In this case, the calendar tool returned an error when trying to get tomorrow's date. According to the instructions, I can retry a tool call up to 3 times. Since we need tomorrow's date to complete the flight search, I will first retry the calendar tool. If the calendar tool fails again, I'll ask the user to provide the specific date they want to travel, as we need a date in YYYY-MM-DD format for the flights tool. This approach keeps us focused on the user's goal of finding flight information while being flexible in handling the error.
