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
The user has replied: "Three days before is fine."  According to the plan for the yearly company-dinner task, what is the next action?
Expected output
Call email.search_emails with a query such as "yearly company dinner" (optionally including the current year) to locate the relevant email(s) containing the event details, and store the returned email_id(s) for the subsequent email.read_email step.
Model output
Reasoning: 1. The user confirmed they want the reminder set **three days before** the company dinner, resolving the pending input from the previous step.
   
   2. The next goal in the scratch_pad is to **search emails** for the yearly company dinner date. This is critical to extract the event details before adding it to the calendar.
   
   3. The `email` tool’s `search_emails` action is the correct choice here. A query like *'yearly company dinner 2024'* balances specificity and breadth to locate the relevant email.
   
   4. After retrieving the email(s), the agent will:
      - Use `read_email` if the date isn’t clear in the search results.
      - Extract the event date and validate it.
      - Proceed to add the event to the calendar with a 3-day reminder.
      - Check for conflicts using `read_calendar` and notify the user if any exist.
   
   5. The user will be updated after each major step (e.g., if the date is found, if conflicts arise).

Response: {"next_action": {"tool_use": {"name": "email", "action": "search_emails", "parameters": {"query": "yearly company dinner 2024"}}}, "user_message": "Understood! I’ll search your emails for the yearly company dinner details now. Once I have the date, I’ll add it to your calendar with a reminder **three days prior** and check for any conflicts. I’ll keep you updated!"}
