Let's take again the example from [intro_agents]: a bot that answers user queries on a surf trip company. Let's take again the example from [intro_agents]: a bot that answers user queries on a surf trip company.
Instead of letting the agent do 2 different calls for "travel distance API" and "weather API" each time they are asked about a new surf spot, you could just make one unified tool "return_spot_information", a functions that calls both APIs at once and returns their concatenated outputs to the user.

It could look like a bug from the system, but actually the agentic system didn't cause the error: it's just that the LLM engine tid the mistake of not saving the image output into a variable.

Thus it cannot access the image again except by leveraging the path that was logged while saving the image, so it returns the path instead of an image.

The first step to debugging your agent is thus "Use a more powerful LLM". Alternatives like `Qwen2/5-72B-Instruct` wouldn't have made that mistake. The first step to debugging your agent is thus "Use a more powerful LLM". Alternatives like `Qwen2/5-72B-Instruct` wouldn't have made that mistake.

To provide extra information, we do not recommend to change the system prompt right away: the default system prompt has many adjustments that you do not want to mess up except if you understand the prompt very well.
