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.

Context

Input

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: According to the model instructions, if a tool call fails three times due to a timeout error, the next action should be to log and explain the failure and then decide the next course of action. Since the tool has failed twice already, the next step is to attempt the tool call one more time, as the maximum retries allowed are three. If it fails again, then we would need to consider alternative actions such as notifying the user about the issue or trying a different approach if available.

Response: Attempt the tool call one more time (third attempt). If it fails, notify the user about the issue and consider alternative actions.
