The tool call has returned an error. What should you do?Expected output
Interpret the error and if appropriate, retry the tool call.Model output
Reasoning:
1. **Error Analysis**:
The previous attempt to call the `calendar` tool failed with 'tool not available'. This is the first error encountered for this tool in the current trajectory (cycle 3). According to instructions, a tool can be retried up to 3 times before escalating to alternatives.
2. **Next Action Decision**:
- **Primary Path**: Retry the `calendar` tool immediately (retry 1/3). This is the most efficient way to resolve the date dependency for the flights search.
- **Fallback Path**: If the retry fails, use the `web_search` tool with a query like 'current date in London' to manually determine tomorrow's date. This avoids assumptions about the system's local date/time.
- **User Prompt**: Only as a last resort if both tools fail repeatedly.
3. **Why Not Other Options?**:
- **Hardcoding/Assumptions**: Risk of timezone mismatches or stale data.
- **Skipping Date Resolution**: The `flights` tool requires an explicit `date` parameter in `YYYY-MM-DD` format; proceeding without it would violate the tool's schema.
- **Asking User Now**: Premature; tools should be exhausted first to minimize user effort.
4. **Execution Plan**:
- Call `calendar` tool (retry #1).
- On success: Parse the date, increment by 1 day to get tomorrow's date, then call `flights` tool.
- On failure: Proceed to `web_search` in the next cycle.
5. **Progress Tracking**:
- Current step: Resolve date dependency (blocked by tool error).
- Remaining goals unchanged: Fetch flights, compile results.
- Cycle count: 3/3 allowed retries for `calendar` (including initial attempt).
Response: {"action": "tool_call", "tool_name": "calendar", "params": {}, "explanation": "Retrying the calendar tool (attempt 1/3) to fetch the current date, which is required to calculate tomorrow's date for the flights search. This is the most direct path to resolve the dependency."}
