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
USER INTERRUPTION: The user says, "Actually, never mind about the reminder — just make sure the company dinner is on my calendar."  What do you do to adapt your plan?
Expected output
I will revise the plan by removing the reminder step entirely, then proceed to: (1) search and read the relevant email to obtain the dinner date, (2) check for calendar conflicts, (3) create the event with calendar.create_event **without** the reminder_days_before parameter, and (4) inform the user of any conflicts and confirm the event has been added.  What matters is that the plan is explicitly updated and no reminder is scheduled.
Model output
Reasoning: The user has changed their request: they no longer want a reminder and only want the company-dinner event added to the calendar. Therefore:
1. Abort the pending question about “how many days in advance?” and mark it as resolved.
2. Remove all reminder-related sub-tasks from the remaining-goals list.
3. Keep the core steps that are still relevant:
   • Search the user’s emails for details of the yearly company dinner (date, time, location).
   • Read the most relevant email to extract the exact event information.
   • Check the calendar for conflicts on that date.
   • Create the calendar event WITHOUT setting any reminder.
   • Notify the user of success (and any conflicts if found).
4. Update the scratch_pad / progress tracker accordingly so future cycles reflect the new plan.
In short, I pivot from waiting for the reminder-lead time to directly locating the dinner details and adding the event to the calendar, ensuring no reminders are scheduled.

Response: Understood! I’ll stop asking about the reminder and focus on getting the company dinner onto your calendar. I’ll look through your email for the event details next.
