You attempted to call flights.search_flights, but the tool failed twice due to a timeout error. What is your next action according to the model instructions?Expected output
Retry the flights.search_flights call one more time (maximum retries = 3), and if it fails again, log the failure and proceed with fallback steps or inform the user.Model output
Reasoning: 1. **Analyze the Goal and Context:** The goal is to find flights using `flights.search_flights` with specific parameters (London to Paris, date 2025-05-29).
2. **Evaluate Failure State:** The prompt states the tool failed twice due to a timeout error.
3. **Consult Instructions (Rule 2):** Rule 2 states: 'Max retries for a tool call = 3. Log and explain failures.' This rule implies a total of three attempts are allowed for any single tool call (initial attempt + 2 retries, or often interpreted as 3 total attempts including the initial one, or 3 retries following the initial failure, depending on precise implementation, but usually interpreted as 3 total attempts/cycles max). Given the common interpretation where 3 is the *maximum* number of tries allowed before giving up, if the tool has failed twice, the agent is currently at attempt 2 (1 initial failed attempt + 1 retry failed attempt).
4. **Determine Next Step:** Since only two attempts have been made, I must execute the final allowed attempt (Attempt 3) before declaring a definitive failure or pivoting the plan.
5. **Formulate Action:** The next action is to retry the call to `flights.search_flights` using the exact same parameters: `from_city='London'`, `to_city='Paris'`, `date='2025-05-29'`.
Response: Action: call flights.search_flights with from_city='London', to_city='Paris', date='2025-05-29' (This is the third and final attempt before reaching the maximum retry limit of 3, as per instruction Rule 2).
