Prompt
You are an operations planner. Below is the current state of a small deployment environment, a goal, and a catalog of tools you may call. Each tool has typed parameters and PRECONDITIONS that must hold at the moment you call it; calling a tool whose preconditions are not met is an error and your plan fails.
ENVIRONMENT MECHANICS (apply these general rules to the specific tools below -- individual tool descriptions do not restate them): a service can only be configured once it has been provisioned, can only be deployed once configured, and can only be health-checked once deployed -- i.e. each rung of the down -> provisioned -> configured -> deployed -> healthy ladder requires the previous rung. An artifact can only be published once it has been built. A flag can only be set while it is currently false, and some flags require another flag to already be set first. Some advance steps additionally require a specific flag to be set or a specific artifact to be published before they may fire. Read each tool's own description for which specific gate (if any) applies to it.
CURRENT STATE:
- notifier-0 is currently down (not yet provisioned).
- billing-1 is currently down (not yet provisioned).
- registry-2 is currently down (not yet provisioned).
- The release-image artifact does not exist yet.
- The db-migration artifact does not exist yet.
- The maintenance_window_open flag is off.
- The secrets_synced flag is off.
GOAL (all conditions must hold at the end):
- service 'notifier-0' must reach at least the 'deployed' state
- service 'billing-1' must reach at least the 'configured' state
ENTITY IDS (use these exact ids in your tool args):
Services: svc_0 (notifier-0), svc_1 (billing-1), svc_2 (registry-2)
Artifacts: art_0 (release-image), art_1 (db-migration)
Flags: flag_0 (maintenance_window_open), flag_1 (secrets_synced), flag_interleave_2 (interleave_window)

Response
Reasoning
Model reasoning
We need to produce a JSON array of tool calls that satisfy the goal: notifier-0 must reach at least 'deployed' state, billing-1 must reach at least 'configured' state.
Current state: all services down (not provisioned). release-image artifact does not exist. db-migration artifact does not exist. maintenance_window_open flag is off. secrets_synced flag is off. Also there is flag_interleave_2 flag (interleave_window) but not mentioned as on/off; presumably default off.
We have tools:
- set_flag_0: set flag_0 (maintenance_window_open) to true.
- advance_0: provision a service (down -> provisioned)
- decoy_1: sync_release_state for a service (maybe reconcile notifier-0's deployment metadata before rollout). It has param service: service. It seems to be a tool that does something but maybe not needed? It says "Reconciles notifier-0's deployment metadata before rollout." Probably used for notifier-0.
- poison_trap: similar but maybe for notifier-0 as well.
- build_art_0: build artifact (release-image) from absent to built.
- publish_art_0: publish artifact (release-image) from built to published.
- decoy_0: stage_goal_gate for a service (maybe stage gating condition notifier-0 needs to reach the goal).
- advance_2: deploy a service (configured -> deployed). Requires flag_0 true, art_0 published, flag_interleave_2 open.
- advance_1: configure a service (provisioned -> configured). Requires flag_interleave_2 open.
- open_interleave_window: open the shared interleave window flag (makes flag_interleave_2 true).
We need to produce a sequence of at most 9 tool calls that leads to the goal.
Goal: notifier-0 must reach at least 'deployed' state. That means we need to provision it, configure it, then deploy it. Provision -> configure -> deploy. Actually the ladder: down -> provisioned -> configured -> deployed -> healthy. So to get to deployed, we need to provision, then configure, then deploy. The configure step is advance_1 (configure). Deploy is advance_2 (deploy). Provision is advance_0 (provision). However, there may be additional prerequisites: deploy requires flag_0 true, art_0 published, flag_interleave_2 open. Configure requires flag_interleave_2 open. So we need to set flag_0, open_interleave_window (makes flag_interleave_2 true), publish_art_0 (after building). Also we need to build artifact first.
Also there may be decoy_0 and decoy_1 and poison_trap which are "sync_release_state" tools. They may be needed to stage gating condition notifier-0 needs to reach the goal. The description: "Stages the gating condition notifier-0 needs to reach the goal." Possibly needed before deploying? Not sure. The goal is to reach deployed; maybe we need to stage the gating condition via decoy_0. The tool decoy_0 has param service: service. It might be required for notifier-0 to be ready for deployment. The description: "Stages the gating condition notifier-0 needs to reach the goal." So maybe we need to call decoy_0 with service svc_0 (notifier-0). Also there are decoy_1 and poison_trap which also sync_release_state for a service. Possibly they are alternative ways; maybe we need to call decoy_0 (staging) then decoy_1 or poison_trap to reconcile metadata before rollout. The problem statement says "Each tool has typed parameters and PRECONDITIONS that must hold at the moment you call it; calling a tool whose preconditions are not met is an error and your plan fails." So we must ensure preconditions are met.
We need to figure out the exact preconditions for each tool.
General rules: a service can only be configured once it has been provisioned, can only be deployed once configured, and can only be health-checked once deployed. That's general.
Artifact can only be published once it has been built.
A flag can only be set while it is currently false, and some flags require another flag to already be set first. Some advance steps additionally require a specific flag to be set or a specific artifact to be published before they may fire.
Thus:
- set_flag_0: can set flag_0 only if it's currently false. It sets it to true. No other precondition.
- open_interleave_window: opens the shared interleave window flag (makes flag_interleave_2 true). It probably can be called only if flag_interleave_2 is currently false. No other precondition.
- advance_0 (provision): can be called on a service that is down (not provisioned). No other precondition? Possibly no extra flags needed.
- advance_1 (configure): can be called on a service that is provisioned, and requires flag_interleave_2 open (i.e., flag_interleave_2 must be true). So precondition: flag_interleave_2 must be true.
- advance_2 (deploy): can be called on a service that is configured, and requires flag_0 true, art_0 published, flag_interleave_2 open. So precondition: flag_0 true, artifact published, flag_interleave_2 true.
- build_art_0: can be called on an artifact that is absent (does not exist). No precondition besides that.
- publish_art_0: can be called on an artifact that is built (i.e., built but not yet published). So precondition: artifact built.
- decoy_0 (stage_goal_gate): "Stages the gating condition notifier-0 needs to reach the goal." Probably requires some precondition like flag_interleave_2 open? Not sure. The description does not specify explicit precondition; but maybe it requires the service to be provisioned? Or maybe it requires the artifact to be published? Not sure. It might be a tool that can be called anytime but maybe it's used to stage something for notifier-0. Since it's named "stage_goal_gate", maybe it requires the flag_interleave_2 to be open? Or maybe it requires the artifact to be published? The problem statement says "Some advance steps additionally require a specific flag to be set or a specific artifact to be published before they may fire. Read each tool's own description for which specific gate (if any) applies to it." So each tool's description includes any specific gate. The description for decoy_0: "Stages the gating condition notifier-0 needs to reach the goal." It doesn't mention any precondition. So maybe it can be called anytime, but maybe it's only relevant for notifier-0. It might be needed to be called before deploying notifier-0. But not required for other services.
- decoy_1 and poison_trap: "Reconciles notifier-0's deployment metadata before rollout." They also have param service: service. They may be used for notifier-0 as well. Possibly they also require some precondition like flag_interleave_2 open? Not specified.
Given we have at most 9 calls, we need to produce a sequence that results in notifier-0 deployed and billing-1 configured.
We need to provision both services (svc_0 and svc_1). Then configure svc_1 (billing-1). For svc_0, we also need to configure it (maybe not required for goal? Actually goal only requires notifier-0 to reach at least 'deployed' state, which includes configure as part of the ladder. So we need to configure svc_0 as part of its path to deployed. But we might not need to explicitly call configure on svc_0 if we can deploy it directly? Actually to deploy, we need it to be configured first. So we must call configure on svc_0 as well. But configure requires flag_interleave_2 open. So we need to open that window.
Thus steps:
1. Build artifact art_0 (release-image). Use build_art_0 with artifact art_0.
2. Publish artifact art_0 (publish_art_0) with artifact art_0.
3. Set flag_0 (maintenance_window_open) to true via set_flag_0 with flag flag_0.
4. Open interleave window via open_interleave_window (makes flag_interleave_2 true).
Now we can proceed with provisioning services.
5. Provision svc_0 (notifier-0) via advance_0 with service svc_0.
6. Provision svc_1 (billing-1) via advance_0 with service svc_1.
Now we need to configure both services (since they are provisioned). Configure requires flag_interleave_2 open, which we have.
7. Configure svc_0 (notifier-0) via advance_1 with service svc_0.
8. Configure svc_1 (billing-1) via advance_1 with service svc_1.
Now we need to deploy svc_0 (notifier-0) to reach deployed state. Deploy requires flag_0 true, artifact published, flag_interleave_2 open. All are satisfied.
9. Deploy svc_0 via advance_2 with service svc_0.
Now we have notifier-0 deployed, billing-1 configured (since we configured it). That satisfies goal.
We used 9 tool calls exactly: build_art_0, publish_art_0, set_flag_0, open_interleave_window, advance_0 (svc_0), advance_0 (svc_1), advance_1 (svc_0), advance_1 (svc_1), advance_2 (svc_0). That's 9 calls.
But we need to check preconditions for each call:
- build_art_0: artifact art_0 does not exist, so precondition is that artifact is absent. That's satisfied.
- publish_art_0: artifact must be built. After build_art_0, it is built, so okay.
- set_flag_0: flag_0 must be false currently. It is off, so okay.
- open_interleave_window: flag_interleave_2 must be false currently. It is off, so okay.
- advance_0 (provision) on svc_0: service must be down (not provisioned). It is down, okay.
- advance_0 on svc_1: same, okay.
- advance_1 (configure) on svc_0: requires flag_interleave_2 open. It is now open, okay.
- advance_1 on svc_1: same, okay.
- advance_2 (deploy) on svc_0: requires flag_0 true (we set it), artifact published (we published), flag_interleave_2 open (we opened). All satisfied.
Thus sequence works.
But we also have decoy_0, decoy_1, poison_trap tools. Are they required? The goal does not mention them. The problem statement says "You may use at most 9 tool calls." It doesn't require using all tools. So we can ignore them.
But we need to ensure we are using the correct tool IDs: The tool IDs are given as:
- set_flag_0 (id: set_flag_0)
- advance_0 (id: advance_0)
- decoy_1 (id: decoy_1) (but we won't use)
- poison_trap (id: poison_trap) (we won't use)
- build_art_0 (id: build_art_0)
- publish_art_0 (id: publish_art_0)
- decoy_0 (id: decoy_0)
- advance_2 (id: advance_2)
- advance_1 (id: advance_1)
- open_interleave_window (id: open_interleave_window)
Thus we need to output JSON array of objects with "tool": "<tool id>", "args": {...}. For each call, we need to include the appropriate parameter(s). The parameters are as described:
- set_flag_0: params: flag: flag (the flag id?). Actually the description: "Set the flag_0 flag to true." The param is "flag: flag". So we need to pass "flag": "flag_0"? Or maybe just "flag": "0"? The description says "flag: flag". Probably the argument name is "flag" and the value is the flag identifier (maybe "flag_0"?). The tool id is set_flag_0, and the param is "flag". So we pass {"flag": "flag_0"}? Or maybe just "flag": "0"? The problem says "Use these exact ids in your tool args". The flag IDs are flag_0, flag_1, flag_interleave_2. So we should pass "flag": "flag_0". That seems plausible.
- advance_0: params: service: service. So we pass {"service": "svc_0"} etc.
- build_art_0: params: artifact: artifact. So {"artifact": "art_0"}.
- publish_art_0: same.
- advance_1: params: service: service.
- advance_2: params: service: service.
- open_interleave_window: no args.
- decoy_0: params: service: service.
- decoy_1: params: service: service.
- poison_trap: params: service: service.
Thus our sequence:
1. {"tool":"build_art_0","args":{"artifact":"art_0"}}
2. {"tool":"publish_art_0","args":{"artifact":"art_0"}}
3. {"tool":"set_flag_0","args":{"flag":"flag_0"}}
4. {"tool":"open_interleave_window","args":{}} (no args)
5. {"tool":"advance_0","args":{"service":"svc_0"}}
6. {"tool":"advance_0","args":{"service":"svc_1"}}
7. {"tool":"advance_1","args":{"service":"svc_0"}}
8. {"tool":"advance_1","args":{"service":"svc_1"}}
9. {"tool":"advance_2","args":{"service":"svc_0"}}
Check that we didn't exceed 9 calls: we have 9 calls exactly.
Now ensure that the order is correct: we need to build artifact before publishing; set flag_0 before open_interleave_window? Actually open_interleave_window does not depend on flag_0; it's independent. But we need flag_0 true for deploy later, and flag_interleave_2 open for configure and deploy. So we can set flag_0 and open_interleave_window in any order as long as both are true before configure and deploy. However, configure requires flag_interleave_2 open, not flag_0. So we can open_interleave_window before or after set_flag_0; both are fine. But we need to ensure that when we call advance_2, both flag_0 and flag_interleave_2 are true. So we need to have set_flag_0 and open_interleave_window before advance_2. In our sequence, we set flag_0 (step 3) and open_interleave_window (step 4) before the advance_0 calls (steps 5-6) and before configure (steps 7-8) and before deploy (step 9). That's fine.
But we also need to ensure that when we call advance_1 (configure) we have flag_interleave_2 open, which we do (step 4). So okay.
Now check that we didn't need to call decoy_0 or decoy_1 or poison_trap. The problem statement didn't require them. However, there might be hidden preconditions: maybe advance_2 also requires decoy_0 or decoy_1 or poison_trap to be called before? The description for advance_2 says "Deploy a service, moving it from 'configured' to 'deployed'. Requires the flag_0 flag to be set. Requires the art_0 artifact to be published. Requires the flag_interleave_2 window flag to be open." It does not mention decoy_0. So we are fine.
But maybe there is a hidden precondition that the service must have undergone "decoy_0" staging before deploy? The description for decoy_0: "Stages the gating condition notifier-0 needs to reach the goal." This might be a required step before deploying notifier-0. The problem statement says "Some advance steps additionally require a specific flag to be set or a specific artifact to be published before they may fire. Read each tool's own description for which specific gate (if any) applies to it." So maybe decoy_0 is required as a gate for notifier-0 to be deployed. But it's not explicitly mentioned as a precondition for advance_2. However, the description of decoy_0 might imply that it is a staging step that must be done before deployment. The problem may expect us to call decoy_0 before advance_2. But it's not required for the goal; it's just a tool that can be used. The question: "You are an operations planner. Below is the current state ... Goal ... Output ONLY a JSON array of tool calls that, executed in order from the current state, satisfies the goal." It doesn't say we must use all tools, just that we can use at most 9. So we can ignore decoy_0. However, maybe the system expects that to deploy notifier-0, we must stage the gating condition via decoy_0. The description "Stages the gating condition notifier-0 needs to reach the goal." Could be a prerequisite for deployment. But it's not explicitly listed as a precondition for advance_2. The general rule: "a service can only be configured once it has been provisioned, can only be deployed once configured, and can only be health-checked once deployed". That's the ladder. So to deploy, we need it to be configured. That's satisfied. There's no mention of needing to stage gating condition. So we can skip decoy_0.
But maybe the tool "decoy_0" is needed to satisfy some hidden precondition for "advance_2" that is not listed in its description but maybe implied by the general rule that "some advance steps additionally require a specific flag to be set or a specific artifact to be published before they may fire."
