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: <think>
First, I need to understand the situation. The task is about handling a failure in calling the flights.search_flights tool. According to the instructions, there are specific rules to follow when dealing with tool calls and failures.
Step 1: Understand the failure. The tool flights.search_flights failed twice due to a timeout error.
Step 2: Review the instructions to see what to do in case of a failure. According to rule 2, the maximum number of retries for a tool call is 3. So far, there have been 2 attempts.
Step 3: Decide on the next action. Since the maximum retries is 3 and we've had 2 failures, we should attempt to call the tool one more time.
Step 4: If the third attempt fails, we need to log and explain the failure, and then possibly consider alternative actions or inform the user of the issue.
Step 5: According to rule 3, after every tool call, we should store the results in memory. But since the tool call failed, we need to handle the failure first before we can proceed to store anything.
Step 6: According to rule 4, we should avoid redundant tool calls. Since we are dealing with a failure due to a timeout, retrying is not redundant as it's not an identical query in terms of success/failure.
Step 7: According to rule 6, we should chain tools logically. In this case, the logical next step after handling the failure would be to proceed with the planned next step: filter by price and select the top 3 cheapest options, but only if the tool call succeeds on the third attempt.
Step 8: Since the task involves finding the cheapest flights, and we have a failure in retrieving flight information, the next logical step is to retry the tool call one more time as per the retries rule.
</think>
Summary: Based on the instructions and the current situation, the next action is to attempt to call the flights.search_flights tool one more time, as we have one retry left out of the maximum of 3.
Response: The next action is to attempt to call the flights.search_flights tool one more time, as we have one retry left out of the maximum of 3.
