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

Your first step is to break down the problem and formulate a step by step plan. What is the plan?

Expected output

(1) Ask the user how many days before they want the reminder. (2) Use the email tool to search for emails about the yearly gathering. (3) Read the relevant email to extract the event date. (4) Use the calendar tool to add the event. (5) Check for any calendar conflicts. (6) Add the reminder X days before the event

Model output

Reasoning: I will (1) identify the user’s intent: add the yearly company dinner to their calendar and set a reminder a few days before, using details likely contained in an email. (2) Determine missing critical details needed to create the event: event date (and ideally start/end time), location, and how many days before the reminder should fire; also confirm timezone if ambiguous. (3) Use the email tool to locate the relevant message by searching for keywords like “yearly company dinner”, “company dinner”, or the company name, then read the most relevant email to extract the event details. (4) Validate the extracted details (date/time/location) and resolve ambiguity; if anything is missing or unclear (including reminder lead time), ask the user explicitly via the user-input tool. (5) Check for calendar conflicts by reading the calendar around the target date/time window to ensure no overlapping events. (6) Create the calendar event with the confirmed title, date/time, location/notes if available, and set the reminder for the agreed number of days before. (7) Verify the event was created successfully and summarize back to the user with the final event details and reminder configuration.

Response: Plan:
1) Confirm the goal: add the yearly company dinner to the calendar and set a reminder a few days before.
2) Identify required event details (date/time, location, timezone) and reminder lead time; note any missing items.
3) Search emails for the invitation/details (e.g., “yearly company dinner”, “company dinner”, subject keywords) using the email search tool.
4) Read the best-matching email(s) to extract the event’s date/time/location and any other relevant details.
5) Validate extracted info; if any detail is missing/ambiguous (especially reminder days-before), ask the user explicitly using the user input tool.
6) Check for conflicts by reading the calendar around the event time/date range.
7) Create the calendar event with the confirmed details and set the reminder.
8) Verify creation success and report back the final scheduled event + reminder settings.
