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: The user task is to determine the next action given that the `flights.search_flights` tool failed twice due to a timeout error. The context shows the trajectory leading up to the failure.
1. **Analyze the Failure:** The tool call to `flights.search_flights` has failed twice due to a timeout. Rule 2️⃣ states: "Max retries for a tool call = 3. Log and explain failures."
2. **Determine Next Action:** Since the tool has failed twice, the agent has one retry remaining before it must stop calling that specific tool and report the issue or find an alternative strategy, as per Rule 2️⃣.
3. **Apply Instructions:** The immediate next action, according to the retry limit, is to attempt the call one more time, logging the previous failures.
4. **Formulate Response:** The next logical step is to execute the `flights.search_flights` tool for the third and final time, as per the retry mechanism defined in the instructions.
5. **Examine Context for Details:** The successful previous step was getting the date ('2025-05-29'). The failed action was `flights.search_flights` with details (London to Paris for 2025-05-29). The scratchpad indicates the planned next step was filtering, but the immediate priority is handling the failed tool call according to the retry limit.
Response: Action: call flights.search_flights with from_city='London', to_city='Paris', date='2025-05-29', max_results=3. This will be the third and final attempt as per the maximum retry limit of 3 specified in the instructions.
