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

As the first step you are reflecting and deciding on the plan to follow to complete the task. You have three candidate plans:

A) Plan A:
- Step 1 → Call calendar to get tomorrow’s date.
- Step 2 → Call flights (London ➜ Paris, date).
- Step 3 → Call web_search with query "London to Paris flights on [date]" to cross-check available flights found in the previous step.
- Step 4 → If there are discrepancies between flights tool and web search, re-query flights tool for confirmation.
- Step 5 → Summarize all gathered flight options and send results to the user.

B) Plan B:
- Step 1 → Call calendar to get tomorrow’s date.
- Step 2 → Call flights (London ➜ Paris, date).
- Step 3 → Summarize flights tool results and send to the user.

C) Plan C:
- Step 1 → Call calendar to get tomorrow’s date.
- Step 2 → Call flights (London ➜ Paris, date).
- Step 3 → If the flights tool returns fewer than 3 options, call web_search with query "London to Paris flights on [date]" to supplement results.
- Step 4 → Merge both sets of results and send the combined summary to the user.

Pick **one** plan you will execute.

Expected output

Plan B, is the preferred one as its the most efficient, and that is instructed

Model output

Reasoning: Plan B is the most direct and effective path to complete the user's request. It efficiently uses the 'calendar' tool to determine tomorrow's date and the 'flights' tool to find available flights without introducing unnecessary cross-checking or complex conditional logic that the user did not ask for. This aligns perfectly with the instruction to always aim for the most direct and effective path and avoid unnecessary loops.

Response: Plan B
