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
After calling database.get_customer with customer_id 'CUST789', you received: {\"customer_id\":\"CUST789\",\"name\":\"Sarah Chen\",\"email\":\"sarah.chen@email.com\",\"account_status\":\"active\"}. You stored this with key 'customer_info'. Then database.list_orders with customer_id 'CUST789' returned: {\"orders\":[],\"message\":\"No orders found for customer\"}. You stored this with key 'customer_orders'. The customer claims they have an ongoing purchase needing address change. How should you handle this discrepancy and what is your next action?
Expected output
Reasoning: There's a discrepancy - customer claims ongoing purchase but 'customer_orders' shows no orders found. This could indicate: wrong customer ID, order under different account, or customer confusion. I need to gather more information before proceeding. Next action: Call email.draft_email to politely ask Sarah Chen to provide her order number or confirmation email, explaining we need to locate her order to assist with the address change.
Model output
Reasoning: The customer claims to have an ongoing purchase requiring an address change, but the database's list_orders call for this customer shows no orders. This is a discrepancy we need to handle. 

Step 1: The database query shows no orders for the customer 'CUST789'. The customer's claim contradicts database information. To resolve this, the next best atomic action is to seek clarification directly from the customer to obtain details about the order they claim exists. This avoids redundant database calls and respects the rule of minimizing calls.

Step 2: We will ask the customer for the order ID or any purchase detail to identify the purchase in question. This will allow us to locate or verify the order in subsequent steps.

Following the instructions, the next step is to use the 'user_input' tool with an 'ask_free_text' action to request from the customer the order details such as an order number or purchase information. This aligns with the tool chaining approach and efficiency guidelines.

Response: There is a discrepancy between the customer's claim of an ongoing purchase and the database showing no orders. The next appropriate action is to ask the customer for more information about the purchase, such as an order ID or details, to identify the order in question. I will ask the customer to provide these details.
