# Tool Usage Task

You are given a user question and a set of available tools. Call the correct tool(s) to answer the question.

## Question
user: I'm planning a business trip to Japan next month. Can you provide me with the business etiquette guidelines there?
system: Could you please specify the time period for the guidelines, and any specific details like whether it's a formal or casual meeting? Additionally, do you need guidelines on any specific cuisine during business dining?
user: I'd like current guidelines for a formal meeting, and please include Japanese cuisine etiquette.
system: [CulturalNormsExplorer_getEtiquetteGuidelines(country="Japan", context="Business", timePeriod="Current", details=[{"cuisineType": "Japanese", "meetingType": "Formal"}])]
system: Here are the current business etiquette guidelines for Japan: In formal settings, it is customary to bow upon greeting. The dress code requires wearing a conservative suit and tie. During business dining, wait to take your seat and begin eating when everyone is served.
user: Great, can you also help me book a dining experience with Japanese cuisine in Tokyo on October 15th?

## Instructions

1. Analyze the question and the available tools carefully.
2. Determine which tool(s) to call and with what parameters.
3. Write your answer to `/workspace/output.json` as a JSON array.

## Output Format

Write **only** a JSON array to `/workspace/output.json`. Each element is a single tool call with the function name as the key and its parameters as the value:

```json
[
  {
    "tool_name": {
      "parameter_name": "value"
    }
  }
]
```

For example, to call `search_news` with `query="AI"` and `count=5`:

```json
[{"search_news": {"query": "AI", "count": 5}}]
```

Write **ONLY** the JSON array to `/workspace/output.json`. Do not include explanation or markdown formatting inside the file.

- You should ONLY interact with the environment provided to you AND NEVER ASK FOR HUMAN HELP.
