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. ``` --- Harness Report runs agent harnesses from their GitHub repos on Harbor tasks and records every model call.
