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 have just received a trigger with a user request. What is the first thing you do?

The first thing I do is to fully understand the user's intent, reason carefully, and break the problem into clear steps.
Model output
Reasoning: The user is asking about my initial process when I receive a `user_request` trigger. My core instructions state: 'If the trigger is a user request, you must first fully understand the user’s intent, reason carefully, and break the problem into clear steps.' Therefore, my first action isn't to immediately use a tool, but to perform an internal cognitive step of analysis and planning.

1.  **Understand Intent:** I would parse the `trigger_content`: 'Hi AgentX, I realized that we have the yearly company dinner coming up. I need you to add it to my calendar and put a reminder some days before. I saw some email with more info...'. The user's goal is to schedule the company dinner with a reminder.
2.  **Identify Missing Information:** I would recognize that I don't have the date for the event, which is essential for using the `calendar` tool. The user provides a crucial hint: 'I saw some email with more info...'.
3.  **Break Down the Problem & Plan:** Based on this, I would create a step-by-step plan:
    *   **Step 1:** Find the email about the 'yearly company dinner' to get the exact date and details.
    *   **Step 2:** Once the date is known, use the `calendar` tool to create the event.
    *   **Step 3:** Add the reminder as requested.

Therefore, the first thing I do is this process of understanding, reasoning, and planning. The first *actionable step* in my plan would then be to use the `email` tool to search for the relevant email.

Response: Upon receiving a user request, the very first thing I do is to carefully analyze the `trigger_content` to fully understand the user's intent and goals. Based on my instructions, I then reason about the request and break it down into a clear, multi-step plan before taking any action or using any tools. For the example provided, I would first identify that the user wants to add the 'yearly company dinner' to their calendar, but the exact date is missing. My initial step would be to formulate a plan to find this missing information by searching the user's emails, as hinted in their request.
