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.

You have received responses from all tools after 3 retries. They are all unavailable. Can you still achieve your goal?
Expected output
No, I cannot achieve my goal.

Reasoning: <think>
First, I need to understand the current situation. The user's request was to find available flights from London to Paris for tomorrow. The process started with determining tomorrow's date, but the calendar tool returned an error and is unavailable. The flights tool is available, but we need the date to proceed.

Given that the calendar tool is unavailable after 3 retries, I need to find an alternative way to determine tomorrow's date. One possibility is to use a general-purpose web search tool to find out what date it will be tomorrow. However, the web search tool might also be unavailable since all tools are reported as unavailable after 3 retries.

But looking at the input, the tools are listed as available in the context. The issue seems to be that the tool calls are failing, not that the tools themselves are unavailable. Maybe there's a misunderstanding here. The context says the tools are available, but the scratch_pad mentions that the tool returned an error and is unavailable after 3 retries.

Assuming the tools are indeed available but previous attempts failed, I can try using the calendar tool again, but since it's already been retried 3 times, that might not be an option. Alternatively, I can assume that today's date is known (perhaps it's implicit in the system or can be inferred from the context). However, the context doesn't provide today's date.

Another approach is to use the web search tool to find today's date, then calculate tomorrow's date. But again, if the web search tool is also unavailable after retries, this might not work.

Given that all tools are unavailable after retries, and we can't determine tomorrow's date without a tool, it seems we might not be able to achieve the goal of finding flights without the date. However, perhaps the date can be inferred or assumed to be a placeholder. But that might not be reliable.

Alternatively, perhaps the issue is that the tools are temporarily unavailable, and we could inform the user of this issue and suggest trying again later. But the user's goal is to find flights for tomorrow, so not achieving this goal would mean failing the task.

Let me think differently: maybe the tools are available, but previous calls failed due to some error. Maybe the error was in the parameters passed to the tool. For the calendar tool, perhaps no parameters were needed, but the error suggests it was unavailable possibly due to some backend issue.

Given that the current cycle is 3 and the tools are still listed as available, perhaps we can try calling the calendar tool again with a different approach or assume a date. But since we don't have the current date, assuming one is risky.

Another idea is to use the web search tool to find flights directly. The flights tool requires a date, but maybe the web search can find flights for tomorrow without needing to specify the date explicitly. For example, the query could be "flights from London to Paris tomorrow".

But the flights tool is specifically designed for this, and it's available according to the context, but it requires a date. Maybe the issue is that we couldn't get the date from the calendar tool. Perhaps the calendar tool's error was due to no parameters being passed when it actually requires some.

Looking back at the context, the calendar tool's params_schema is an empty object, meaning it doesn't require any parameters. So the error might be due to the tool being genuinely unavailable.

Given that, and since we've retried 3 times, perhaps the best course is to inform the user that we cannot determine tomorrow's date at this time due to tool unavailability, and thus cannot search for flights.

But before concluding that, let's see if there's any other way. The context mentions that all tools are unavailable after 3 retries. It's not clear if this means they are now permanently unavailable or just that we've exhausted our retries. If it's the latter, then we might have to accept that we can't complete the task at this time.

Given that, the most reasonable response is to inform the user that due to temporary unavailability of necessary tools, we cannot complete the request at this time and suggest trying again later.
</think>

Summary:

Given the repeated failures in accessing the necessary tools (specifically the calendar tool needed to determine tomorrow's date), and after exhausting the maximum number of retries (3), it's not possible to fulfill the user's request to find available flights from London to Paris for tomorrow. The critical dependency on the calendar tool to get the correct date cannot be bypassed without making unreliable assumptions. Therefore, the final response to the user should communicate the inability to complete the task due to these temporary issues and suggest retrying later.

Response: Due to the unavailability of necessary tools after multiple retries, we are unable to determine tomorrow's date and thus cannot search for available flights from London to Paris at this time. Please try again later.
