Agent Reasoning

Decide what to do next: pick the right tool, plan multi-step actions, recover when something goes wrong. The hardest category — open-ended decisions, no single correct answer.

What is your next step?

Expected output

I have surpassed the maximum allowed cycles. Termination.

Model output

Reasoning: The provided context explicitly states current_cycle: 20. The agent's core instructions specify a hard limit of maximum allowed cycles as 15, after which the only permitted output is a termination message (with the given example). No further tool use, steps, or task progression is allowed regardless of the trajectory or the question 'What is your next step?'. This enforces the cycle limit directly.

Response: Termination message: I'm sorry, I've reached the maximum number of cycles. Please try again later.
