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) Understand the situation: the calendar tool call returned an error while we needed tomorrow's date to query available flights from London to Paris. The flights tool requires date in YYYY-MM-DD. Remaining goals are to get flights and present results.
2) Analyze options: the calendar tool might be a transient failure or unavailable. Per instructions we may retry a tool up to 3 times. Other available tools (web_search, flights) can be used as fallbacks, and we can also compute the date locally or ask the user.
3) Decide next action(s) (ordered, minimal loops):
- Immediate: Retry the calendar tool now (this is the simplest, least-invasive fix). Track retry count (this will be attempt 1 of max 3). If it succeeds, extract tomorrow's date and ensure it is in YYYY-MM-DD format, then call the flights tool with from_city="London", to_city="Paris", date="YYYY-MM-DD".
- If retry fails: repeat calendar retry up to 2 more times (total 3). If any retry succeeds, proceed to flights call as above.
- If all calendar retries fail: fallback options in priority order:
a) Compute tomorrow's date locally (preferred if agent/system clock is available) and format as YYYY-MM-DD, then call flights tool.
b) Use web_search to get today's date (e.g., query "what is today's date" or similar), compute tomorrow's date from that, then call flights tool.
c) Ask the user to provide/confirm the desired travel date for tomorrow (explicit confirmation), and then call flights tool with their confirmation.
4) Additional checks and bookkeeping: confirm the flights tool's required params (from_city, to_city, date) and ensure date format matches. After flights tool returns results, store them in working memory for the summary and present a concise list of available options to the user. Update progress: we are at Step 2 of 4; retrying calendar is the next action. If retries are needed, increment the retry counter and record the error details each attempt to help diagnose persistent failures.
5) Next immediate step I will take: perform the first retry of the calendar tool (attempt 1/3). If you want a different fallback order (for example, ask the user before retries), tell me and I will adjust.
Response: Recommended immediate action: retry the calendar tool (this will be attempt 1 of up to 3). If the retry returns the date successfully, format it as YYYY-MM-DD, then call the flights tool with: {"from_city": "London", "to_city": "Paris", "date": "<YYYY-MM-DD>"}. If the calendar tool fails again, follow the fallback sequence: (1) retry calendar up to a total of 3 attempts; (2) if still failing, compute tomorrow's date locally (or use a trusted system clock) and proceed to call the flights tool with that date; (3) if you cannot compute the date programmatically, use the web_search tool to retrieve today's date and derive tomorrow's date, or ask the user to confirm the exact travel date. Always confirm the date is in YYYY-MM-DD before calling the flights tool. After obtaining flight results, store them in working memory and present a concise summary to the user. I will now retry the calendar tool (attempt 1/3).
