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.

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: <think>Alright, I need to choose one plan to execute to find information about available flights from London to Paris for tomorrow. Let's analyze each plan:

1. **Plan A**: This plan involves multiple steps, including cross-checking the flight information with a web search. It seems thorough but might be more time-consuming due to the additional verification step.

2. **Plan B**: This plan is more straightforward. It retrieves the date, checks the flights, and sends the results to the user. However, it doesn't involve any cross-checking or supplementary steps, which might leave out some available flights or not catch any discrepancies.

3. **Plan C**: This plan is a bit more comprehensive than Plan B. It retrieves the date, checks the flights, and if there are fewer than 3 options, it supplements the results with a web search. This approach ensures that the user gets a good number of flight options without always having to perform a web search.

Considering the balance between thoroughness and efficiency, Plan C seems like a good middle ground. It ensures that the user gets a reasonable number of flight options and supplements the results if they are too few, without always requiring an extra web search step.
