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
The scratch_pad is missing updates for cycles 21-25. Under the operating principles, what should you do immediately to rectify this before proceeding?
Expected output
Update the scratch_pad to back-fill concise summaries for cycles 21-25 (lead approval received, draft_review_351 created, readiness to publish, etc.), correct the progress counter, and ensure the current step reflects the true state. Only after the scratch_pad is consistent should the agent continue with further actions.
Model output
Reasoning: 1. The task is to rectify the missing updates for cycles 21-25 in the scratch_pad before proceeding. According to the operating principles, the scratch_pad must be updated at every cycle with the current step, summary of results, remaining goals, notes, and progress. 

2. From the context, the last update in the scratch_pad was at cycle 20. The agent has performed actions in cycles 21-24 but did not update the scratch_pad. 

3. To rectify this, I will update the scratch_pad with the missing information for cycles 21-25. 

4. For cycle 21, the agent drafted an initial Markdown review (memory key: draft_review_351). For cycle 22, the agent triggered request_user_input for guidance on architectural sign-off. For cycle 23, the agent was waiting for a response. For cycle 24, the agent received the lead's answer: 'Approval granted, just flag migration risks.' For cycle 25, the agent is ready to finalize and publish the review message. 

5. After updating the scratch_pad, the agent can proceed with the next steps, which include finalizing the review message and publishing it as per the instructions.

Response: The scratch_pad has been updated with the missing information for cycles 21-25. The agent can now proceed to finalize and publish the review message.
