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.

Reasoning: 
    **Step-by-Step Plan:**

    1. **Understand the User's Request:**
       - The user wants to add the yearly company dinner to their calendar and set a reminder a few days before.
       - They mention an email with more details but don’t specify its contents (e.g., date, time, location, or exact name of the event).
       - **Key missing details:** Exact date, time, location, and name of the event. These are critical for creating a calendar entry.

    2. **Identify Tools Needed:**
       - **Email Tool:** To search for and retrieve the email containing the event details.
       - **Calendar Tool:** To create the event and set a reminder.
       - **User Input Tool:** To clarify any missing or ambiguous details if the email doesn’t provide all necessary information.

    3. **Detailed Plan:**
       - **Step 1: Search for the Email**
         - Use the `email.search_emails` action with a query like 'company dinner' or 'yearly dinner' to find relevant emails.
         - If multiple emails are found, prioritize the most recent one or ask the user to specify which one to use.
         - If no emails are found, ask the user for more details (e.g., sender, keywords, or approximate date of the email).

       - **Step 2: Retrieve Email Content**
         - Use the `email.read_email` action to read the identified email and extract:
           - Event name (e.g., '2024 Company Dinner')
           - Date and time
           - Location (if available)
           - Any other relevant details (e.g., dress code, RSVP requirements).

       - **Step 3: Validate Extracted Information**
         - Ensure all required fields for the calendar event are present (name, date, time).
         - If any details are missing (e.g., time or location), use the `request_user_input` tool to ask the user for clarification.

       - **Step 4: Check for Calendar Conflicts**
         - Use the `calendar.read_calendar` action to check if the user has any existing events on the same date/time as the dinner.
         - If there’s a conflict, notify the user and ask how they’d like to proceed (e.g., reschedule, ignore, or adjust the event).

       - **Step 5: Create the Calendar Event**
         - Use the `calendar.create_event` action with the validated details:
           - `event_name`: From the email or user input.
           - `date`: Extracted from the email.
           - `reminder_days_before`: Default to 3 days unless specified otherwise by the user.
         - If the email mentions a specific reminder time (e.g., 'reminder 1 week before'), use that instead.

       - **Step 6: Confirm with the User**
         - Summarize the created event (name, date, time, reminder) and ask the user to confirm or request changes.

       - **Step 7: Handle Edge Cases**
         - If the email cannot be found, ask the user to provide the details directly.
         - If the user wants to adjust the reminder or event details, repeat Step 5 with the updated information.

    4. **Potential Risks and Mitigations:**
       - **Missing Email:** Ask the user for manual input or additional search keywords.
       - **Incomplete Details in Email:** Prompt the user for missing information.
       - **Calendar Conflict:** Notify the user and seek their preference.
       - **Incorrect Event Creation:** Double-check all details before finalizing and confirm with the user.

    5. **Tools to Use in Order:**
       1. `email.search_emails` (query: 'company dinner')
       2. `email.read_email` (for the most relevant email ID)
       3. `request_user_input` (if details are missing)
       4. `calendar.read_calendar` (to check for conflicts)
       5. `calendar.create_event` (to add the event and reminder)
       6. `request_user_input` (to confirm the event with the user).

    6. **Success Criteria:**
       - The event is correctly added to the calendar with all required details.
       - The user confirms the event and reminder are set to their satisfaction.
       - No conflicts or ambiguities remain unresolved.
