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:
1. **Understanding the Problem**:
- The task involves retrieving the cheapest flights from London to Paris for tomorrow (2025-05-29).
- The `flights.search_flights` tool failed twice due to a timeout error.
- According to the instructions, the maximum number of retries for a tool call is **3**.
2. **Next Action Decision**:
- Since the tool has failed twice, and the maximum allowed retries is 3, I will attempt **one final retry** of `flights.search_flights` with the same parameters:
- `from_city`: 'London'
- `to_city`: 'Paris'
- `date`: '2025-05-29'
- (Optional: `max_results` if needed for efficiency, though not strictly required for the task.)
3. **Contingency Plan**:
- If this third attempt also fails due to timeout or another error:
- Log the failure in memory using `memory.store_item` with a key like `flight_search_failure_2025-05-29`.
- Notify the user that the flight search could not be completed due to repeated timeouts, and suggest:
- Trying again later.
- Checking their internet connection (if applicable).
- Contacting support if the issue persists.
4. **Post-Success Plan**:
- If the third attempt succeeds:
- Proceed to filter the results by price (using `flights.filter_by_price` or `flights.get_cheapest_option`).
- Select the top 3 cheapest options.
- Store the results in memory under the key `top_flights` (as planned).
- Present a summary to the user.
5. **Optimization Note**:
- No redundant calls will be made. The retry is justified as it is the final allowed attempt.
- If the third attempt fails, no further retries will be made to avoid violating the instructions.
Response:
**Action**: Retry `flights.search_flights` one final time (3rd attempt) with parameters:
```json
{
"from_city": "London",
"to_city": "Paris",
"date": "2025-05-29"
}
```
**Post-Action Plan**:
- On success: Filter for top 3 cheapest flights, store in memory (`top_flights`), and summarize for the user.
- On failure: Log the error in memory, notify the user, and suggest next steps (retry later or contact support).
