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: First, I inspected the customer and orders data. According to the stored 'customer_info' from the database, Sarah Chen is an active customer. However, when I listed orders using 'database.list_orders' for her customer_id 'CUST789', the database returned an empty list and a message: 'No orders found for customer'. The customer claims to have an ongoing purchase requiring an address change, but the system shows no active or historical orders for her. This discrepancy could be due to a system sync issue, the customer using a different account to purchase, a recent unprocessed order, or simply a misunderstanding. Following the instructions: I must first analyze and seek clarification before acting further. As per tool chaining rules, I should now ask the customer via the user_input tool to clarify or provide more details about her ongoing order (such as order number or purchase date). This step is needed before attempting to update any address in the database.

Response: There is an inconsistency between the customer's claim of an ongoing purchase and the current order database, which shows no orders for this customer. The correct next action is to use the user_input tool to request more details from the customer about their ongoing order (e.g., order ID, purchase date, or product), so the issue can be investigated and addressed properly.
