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 original task was to add the yearly company dinner to the calendar and set a reminder based on user input for the number of days in advance. The agent had already asked the user for this information and was waiting for a response. Now, the user interrupts with: 'Actually, never mind about the reminder — just make sure the company dinner is on my calendar.' This changes the requirements: the reminder is no longer needed, but the event still needs to be added to the calendar.

To adapt the plan:
1. Since the reminder input is no longer required, I can skip waiting for it and proceed directly to the next steps.
2. Search the user's emails for information about the yearly company dinner using the 'search_emails' action with a query like 'yearly company dinner' to find relevant emails.
3. Read the content of the most relevant email using 'read_email' to extract event details, particularly the date.
4. Check the calendar for conflicts around the event date using 'read_calendar' with an appropriate date range (e.g., the week of the event).
5. If there are no conflicts, add the event to the calendar using 'create_event' with the event name 'Yearly Company Dinner' and the extracted date, without setting a reminder (omit 'reminder_days_before').
6. If there are conflicts, notify the user using the 'request_user_input' tool or by responding directly, and ask how to proceed.
7. Update the scratch_pad to reflect the new progress: remove the reminder-related goals, mark the current step as proceeding to email search, and note that reminders are skipped per user request.

This adaptation ensures the user's updated intent is followed: focus only on adding the event to the calendar while still verifying for conflicts and validating information. If any details are missing (e.g., exact date not found in emails), I will ask the user for clarification.

Response: Adapt the plan by skipping the reminder setup and proceeding directly to search emails for event details, extract the date, check for calendar conflicts, and add the 'Yearly Company Dinner' event without a reminder. Update scratch_pad accordingly and verify all steps for accuracy.
