Please retry with a tool use. # Reminder: Instructions for Tool Use Tool uses are formatted using XML-style tags. The tool name itself becomes the XML tag name. Each parameter is enclosed within its own set of tags. Here's the structure: <actual_tool_name> <parameter1_name>value1</parameter1_name> <parameter2_name>value2</parameter2_name> ... </actual_tool_name> For example, to use the attempt_completion tool: <attempt_completion> <result> I have completed the task... </result> </attempt_completion> Always use the actual tool name as the XML tag name for proper parsing and execution. # Next Steps If you have completed the user's task, use the attempt_completion tool. If you require additional information from the user, use the ask_followup_question tool. Otherwise, if you have not completed the task and do not need additional information, then proceed with the next step of the task.
