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
You want to schedule three follow-up reminders:
• One for tomorrow,
• One for five business days later,
• One exactly two weeks later.
You are allowed to call tools in parallel, as they run in the cloud. What tool calls will you make?
Expected output
First: Call **calendar.get_current_date** → {"action": "get_current_date"} and persist result as "today".

In Parallel:
• **calendar.add_business_days** → {"action": "add_business_days", "start_date": "today", "days_to_add": 1}
• **calendar.add_business_days** → {"action": "add_business_days", "start_date": "today", "days_to_add": 5}
• **calendar.add_business_days** → {"action": "add_business_days", "start_date": "today", "days_to_add": 14}

Next: For each result, persist separately using **memory.store_item** with keys like "date_plus_1", "date_plus_5", "date_plus_14".

Then: For each stored date, call **calendar.schedule_reminder** with {"action": "schedule_reminder", "date": "<calculated_date>", "reminder_text": "Follow-up"}.

Finally: Persist each reminder result separately using **memory.store_item** with keys like "reminder_tomorrow", "reminder_5bdays", "reminder_2wks".
Model output
Reasoning: 
    1. **Task Understanding**: The task is to schedule three follow-up reminders at specific intervals: tomorrow, five business days later, and two weeks later.
    2. **Tool Selection**: The `calendar` tool is ideal for this task, offering methods like `get_current_date`, `add_business_days`, and `schedule_reminder`.
    3. **Execution Plan**:
       - Fetch the current date once using `get_current_date` and store it in memory.
       - Schedule the three reminders in parallel:
         - Tomorrow: Add 1 day to the current date.
         - Five business days later: Use `add_business_days` to calculate the date.
         - Two weeks later: Add 14 days to the current date.
    4. **Parallelism**: The reminders can be scheduled in parallel since they are independent, except for the five business days reminder which requires a date calculation first.
    5. **Error Handling**: Retry failed calls up to 3 times; abort if `get_current_date` fails.
    

Response: 
    To schedule the three follow-up reminders, execute the following steps:

    1. Call `calendar.get_current_date` to fetch the current date and store it in memory with the key `current_date`.
    2. In parallel:
       a. Schedule a reminder for tomorrow by calling `calendar.schedule_reminder` with the date set to `current_date + 1 day`.
       b. Calculate the date for five business days later by calling `calendar.add_business_days` with `start_date = current_date` and `days = 5`, then schedule a reminder for this date.
       c. Schedule a reminder for two weeks later by calling `calendar.schedule_reminder` with the date set to `current_date + 14 days`.

    **Tool Calls**:
    ```json
    [
      {
        "tool_name": "calendar",
        "method": "get_current_date",
        "params": {"action": "get_current_date"},
        "fallback": {"on_failure": "abort", "max_retries": 3}
      },
      {
        "tool_name": "memory",
        "method": "store_item",
        "params": {"key": "current_date", "value": "$response_from_calendar_get_current_date"},
        "depends_on": ["calendar.get_current_date"]
      },
      {
        "tool_name": "calendar",
        "method": "schedule_reminder",
        "params": {"action": "schedule_reminder", "date": "$memory.current_date + 1 day", "message": "Follow-up reminder for tomorrow."},
        "depends_on": ["memory.store_item"]
      },
      {
        "tool_name": "calendar",
        "method": "add_business_days",
        "params": {"action": "add_business_days", "start_date": "$memory.current_date", "days": 5},
        "depends_on": ["memory.store_item"]
      },
      {
        "tool_name": "calendar",
        "method": "schedule_reminder",
        "params": {"action": "schedule_reminder", "date": "$response_from_calendar_add_business_days", "message": "Follow-up reminder for five business days later."},
        "depends_on": ["calendar.add_business_days"]
      },
      {
        "tool_name": "calendar",
        "method": "schedule_reminder",
        "params": {"action": "schedule_reminder", "date": "$memory.current_date + 14 days", "message": "Follow-up reminder for two weeks later."},
        "depends_on": ["memory.store_item"]
      }
    ]
    ```

    **Execution Flow**:
    1. Fetch the current date and store it.
    2. Schedule the three reminders in parallel using the stored current date.
