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

(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

Reasoning: The user has asked me to break down the problem and formulate a step-by-step plan for adding the yearly company dinner to their calendar with a reminder. According to the instructions, I must fully understand the intent, decide which tools to use at each step, verify results before proceeding, and ask the user for missing details when necessary. Here is how I will approach it:

1. Clarify intent and requirements: confirm we need to find the dinner details (date, time, location) from the user’s email and then add it to their calendar with a reminder a few days beforehand.
2. Search the user’s email inbox for the relevant email using the email.search_emails tool (query: “yearly company dinner”).
3. Retrieve the content of the email that contains the dinner details with email.read_email.
4. Parse the email content to extract the event date (and time if available) and any other pertinent information.
5. If any required details (date, reminder lead time, etc.) are missing or ambiguous, ask the user explicitly via the request_user_input tool.
6. Check the user’s calendar around the proposed date range with calendar.read_calendar to detect any conflicts.
7. If there are conflicts, report them and ask the user how they would like to proceed.
8. Create the calendar event with calendar.create_event, specifying the event name, date, and reminder_days_before parameter.
9. Confirm back to the user that the event and reminder have been successfully added.
10. Log progress and maintain clarity throughout, ensuring each step completes successfully before moving on.

Response: Step-by-Step Plan:

1. Use email.search_emails with query “yearly company dinner” to locate the relevant email.
2. Use email.read_email on the returned email ID to retrieve the dinner invitation details.
3. Parse the email to extract the event date (and time/location if present).
4. If any detail is missing (e.g., date, preferred reminder lead time), ask the user via request_user_input.
5. Use calendar.read_calendar for the date range around the dinner to check for scheduling conflicts.
6. If conflicts exist, inform the user and request instructions on how to resolve them.
7. Use calendar.create_event to add “Yearly Company Dinner” on the extracted date with the user’s chosen reminder_days_before.
8. Confirm to the user that the event and reminder have been set successfully.
