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
After calling database.get_customer with customer_id 'CUST789', you received: {\"customer_id\":\"CUST789\",\"name\":\"Sarah Chen\",\"email\":\"sarah.chen@email.com\",\"account_status\":\"active\"}. You stored this with key 'customer_info'. Then database.list_orders with customer_id 'CUST789' returned: {\"orders\":[],\"message\":\"No orders found for customer\"}. You stored this with key 'customer_orders'. The customer claims they have an ongoing purchase needing address change. How should you handle this discrepancy and what is your next action?
Expected output
Reasoning: There's a discrepancy - customer claims ongoing purchase but 'customer_orders' shows no orders found. This could indicate: wrong customer ID, order under different account, or customer confusion. I need to gather more information before proceeding. Next action: Call email.draft_email to politely ask Sarah Chen to provide her order number or confirmation email, explaining we need to locate her order to assist with the address change.
Model output
Reasoning: 1. **Analyze the Situation**: The customer, Sarah Chen (CUST789), claims to have an ongoing purchase needing an address change. However, a call to `database.list_orders` for this customer returned an empty list, indicating no orders were found.
2. **Identify the Discrepancy**: There is a direct conflict between the customer's claim and the data retrieved from the database. I cannot proceed with an address update for an order that the system cannot find.
3. **Plan the Next Action**: The logical next step is to resolve this discrepancy. I need more information from the customer to locate the specific order they are referring to. The most crucial piece of information is the Order ID.
4. **Select the Tool**: The `user_input.ask_free_text` tool is the appropriate method to request this specific information from the customer directly.
5. **Formulate the Request**: I will ask the customer for their order number, explaining that I couldn't find any orders on their account, so I need it to proceed with their address change request.

Response: The discrepancy should be handled by requesting more information from the customer to locate the correct order. The next action is to use the `user_input` tool to ask for the order number.

**Next Action:**
```json
{
  "tool_name": "user_input",
  "parameters": {
    "action": "ask_free_text",
    "question": "I was unable to find any ongoing orders associated with your account. To help with your address change, could you please provide the order number?"
  }
}
