Agents – xai/grok-4-fast-reasoning Task

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.

Context

Input

The user has replied: "Three days before is fine."  According to the plan for the yearly company-dinner task, what is the next action?

Expected output

Call email.search_emails with a query such as "yearly company dinner" (optionally including the current year) to locate the relevant email(s) containing the event details, and store the returned email_id(s) for the subsequent email.read_email step.

Model output

Reasoning: First, I review the task: The user has responded 'Three days before is fine' to my question about the reminder timing for the yearly company dinner. According to the context and scratch_pad, the current step was waiting for this user input to determine the reminder days (now set to 3 days before). The remaining goals start with searching emails to find the event details, specifically the date of the yearly company dinner, as mentioned in the trigger content ('I saw some email with more info...'). 

Step-by-step approach:
1. Update the scratch_pad mentally: Record that reminder_days_before = 3. Progress to Step 3 of 6.
2. Next logical action per the plan and trajectory: Use the 'email' tool to search for relevant emails about the yearly company dinner. This will help extract the event date and details.
3. Choose the appropriate tool action: 'search_emails' with a query like 'yearly company dinner' to find matching emails.
4. After searching, the plan would proceed to 'read_email' on the relevant email ID, then use calendar tools to add the event and reminder, checking for conflicts.
5. Ensure to follow instructions: Verify results, ask user if needed, prioritize correctness. No need to ask user now since we have the reminder preference.
6. Since this is determining the next action, the response will specify executing the tool call as the immediate next step.

This keeps the process systematic and aligned with the trajectory.

Response: The next action is to search the user's emails for information about the yearly company dinner using the 'search_emails' tool. Specifically, call the 'email' tool with action 'search_emails' and query 'yearly company dinner' to retrieve relevant email IDs. Once results are obtained, proceed to read the most relevant email to extract the event date and details, then add the event to the calendar with a 3-day reminder.
