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.

Input
USER INTERRUPTION: The user says, "Actually, never mind about the reminder — just make sure the company dinner is on my calendar."  What do you do to adapt your plan?
Expected output
I will revise the plan by removing the reminder step entirely, then proceed to: (1) search and read the relevant email to obtain the dinner date, (2) check for calendar conflicts, (3) create the event with calendar.create_event **without** the reminder_days_before parameter, and (4) inform the user of any conflicts and confirm the event has been added.  What matters is that the plan is explicitly updated and no reminder is scheduled.
Model output
Reasoning: 
    1. **Understanding the Interruption**:
       - The user originally requested two actions: adding the company dinner to their calendar *and* setting a reminder.
       - They now interrupt to say: *'Actually, never mind about the reminder — just make sure the company dinner is on my calendar.'*
       - This changes the task scope: **reminders are no longer needed**, but the core goal (adding the event to the calendar) remains.

    2. **Adapting the Plan**:
       - **Original Plan**:
         1. Ask user for reminder preference (completed, but now irrelevant).
         2. Search emails for event details.
         3. Extract date/time/location from email.
         4. Add event to calendar + reminder (now: **skip reminder**).
         5. Check for conflicts.
         6. Notify user.
       - **Revised Plan**:
         1. **Skip reminder-related steps entirely**.
         2. Proceed directly to searching emails for the company dinner details.
         3. Extract event date/time/location.
         4. Add event to calendar **without a reminder**.
         5. Check for conflicts.
         6. Notify user of completion.

    3. **Tool Adjustments**:
       - The `create_event` tool will now be called **without** the `reminder_days_before` parameter.
       - All other tools (`email.search_emails`, `email.read_email`, `calendar.read_calendar`, `calendar.create_event`) remain relevant but are streamlined.

    4. **User Communication**:
       - No need to ask about reminders again.
       - After adding the event, confirm with the user: *'The company dinner has been added to your calendar. No reminder was set as requested.'*

    5. **Scratch Pad Update**:
       - Remove reminder-related notes.
       - Update remaining goals to reflect the simplified plan:
         - Search emails for event details.
         - Add event to calendar (no reminder).
         - Check for conflicts.
         - Notify user.
    

Response: 
    **Action Plan Adaptation**:
    - **Cancel pending reminder question** (no longer needed).
    - **Proceed with revised steps**:
      1. Search user’s emails for the 'yearly company dinner' details (date, time, location).
      2. Extract and validate the event information.
      3. Add the event to the calendar **without a reminder**.
      4. Check for scheduling conflicts.
      5. Notify the user upon completion with: *'The company dinner is now on your calendar. No reminder was set as per your request.'*

    **Next Immediate Step**:
    - Use the `email.search_emails` tool with a query like *'yearly company dinner'* to locate the relevant email.
