Illustrative example · You bring your own task.
- 01 / YOUR TASK
Ask the voice agent to check a test record, interrupt it and change your request.
- 02 / EXAMPLE RESULT
The agent follows the new request, reports the tool result and asks before a test action.
- 03 / YOUR CHECK
Decline the action and check that nothing changes. Then test how it responds when the tool is unavailable.
