Alfworld Tool Locator

Instructions

Locate a specified tool or device by systematically checking receptacles where it is likely stored.

Workflow

1. Prioritize search locations based on tool type:
   • Small tools/electronics (desklamp, remotecontrol): sidetable, desk, drawer, shelf
   • Kitchen tools (knife, spatula): countertop, cabinet, drawer
   • Cleaning tools (sponge, spraybottle): shelf, cabinet, countertop
   • Default: check all visible receptacles in order
2. Navigate to each prioritized receptacle: go to {receptacle}
3. Inspect the observation for the target tool name
4. If found: Stop searching. Proceed to use the tool for the main task
5. If not found: Continue to the next receptacle in the priority list
6. If exhausted: Expand search to remaining receptacles not yet checked

Action Format

• go to {receptacle} -- navigate to check a location
• take {tool} from {receptacle} -- pick up the tool once found (if needed)
• use {tool} / toggle {tool} -- operate the tool in place (e.g., desklamp)

Error Recovery

• If "Nothing happened": verify the receptacle name matches the environment scan
• If tool not found after all likely spots: expand search to every receptacle from the initial environment scan

Action: go to sidetable 2
Observation: On the sidetable 2, you see a desklamp 1.

Result: Found desklamp 1 on sidetable 2. Proceed to use it for the task.
