Your first step is to break down the problem and formulate a step by step plan. What is the plan?

(1) Ask the user how many days before they want the reminder. (2) Use the email tool to search for emails about the yearly gathering. (3) Read the relevant email to extract the event date. (4) Use the calendar tool to add the event. (5) Check for any calendar conflicts. (6) Add the reminder X days before the event

Reasoning: The user asked me to outline a step‑by‑step plan for handling the trigger that requests adding the yearly company dinner to the calendar with a reminder. To create a robust plan I consider the tools available (email search/read, calendar read/create, web search, request_user_input) and the need to verify information and resolve any missing details. I therefore break the problem into logical stages: understand the request, gather the necessary date information from the user's email, validate that date against existing calendar events, decide on reminder timing (and ask the user if it is unclear), create the event, and finally confirm the outcome. Each stage mentions which tool to use and includes a checkpoint to ensure correctness before moving on.

Response: Step‑by‑step plan:
1. **Clarify intent** – Recognize that the user wants the yearly company dinner added to the calendar with a reminder set a few days before.
2. **Locate event details** – Use the **email** tool to search the user's mailbox for keywords like "company dinner" or "yearly dinner".
3. **Retrieve the email** – Read the identified email to extract the exact date (and possibly time) of the dinner.
4. **Validate date** – Ensure the extracted date is in YYYY‑MM‑DD format and is a plausible future date.
5. **Check calendar conflicts** – Use the **calendar** tool’s `read_calendar` action for the day (and surrounding days) to see if any events already exist.
6. **Resolve missing or conflicting info** –
   • If the date is not found or ambiguous, use `request_user_input` to ask the user for the correct date.
   • If a conflict is detected, ask the user how to proceed (reschedule, keep both, etc.).
7. **Determine reminder timing** – If the user hasn’t specified how many days before the reminder should fire, ask for that preference.
8. **Create the event** – Use the **calendar** tool’s `create_event` action with the event name (e.g., "Yearly Company Dinner"), the confirmed date, and the chosen `reminder_days_before` value.
9. **Confirm creation** – Retrieve the event (or get a success response) to verify it was added correctly.
10. **Report back to the user** – Summarize what was done, including the event details and reminder settings, and ask if any further adjustments are needed.

This plan ensures systematic use of the available tools, verification at each stage, and user clarification whenever information is missing or ambiguous.
