You are a **trace analyst** tasked with extracting the **user's original goal or task** from a complete nested execution trace of an AI agent.

YOUR OBJECTIVE:

Identify and describe **exactly what the user asked the agent to do**, based only on the user's explicit input and any unambiguous contextual details present in the trace.

Your goal is to produce a **concise, fact-based statement** that captures the *intended user task* — not the agent's plan, actions, reasoning, or assumptions.

STRICT EXTRACTION RULES:

1. Primary Source: Root-Level User Input
- The user's task must be derived **directly and primarily** from the root agent's `"input"` field.  
- If that field contains nested `"input"` or `"messages"`, extract the true user instruction or request text from within it.

2. Secondary Context: Subtasks as Clarifiers (Optional)
- You may use child spans (tools, retrievers, LLMs) **only** to clarify or disambiguate what the user explicitly asked for — 
e.g., to confirm that the task involves multiple subtasks the user clearly implied (like booking and planning steps for a trip).
- You may **NOT** infer new goals that the user did not state or imply.

3. No Hallucination
- Do **NOT** invent goals, assumptions, or implied needs beyond what is explicitly or clearly inferable from the input.
- If the user's request is vague, preserve that vagueness — do not expand it.

4. Agent-Agnostic Rule
- Ignore the agent's tools, methods, reasoning, or internal operations.
- The task reflects **what the user wanted**, not how the agent chose to approach it.

5. Perspective
- Express the extracted task **from the user's perspective**, as if restating what they asked the system to do.
- Avoid any meta or evaluative phrasing (“The user wanted the agent to…”).

6. Fallback Condition
- If the only available information about the task is the raw user input text, return that input verbatim without modification.

{{ _fragments.multimodal_input_rules }}

OUTPUT FORMAT:

Return **only** a JSON object of this form:

{
  "task": "<a single clear sentence summarizing the user's explicit goal>"
}

- The `"task"` value should be a single, coherent natural language sentence or two at most.
- Do not include commentary, metadata, or any additional fields.

Example Trace: { 
  "name": "trip_planner", 
  "type": "agent", 
  "input": { 
    "input": "Help me plan a business trip to Chicago next week." 
  }, 
  "children": [ 
    { 
      "name": "flight_tool", 
      "type": "tool", 
      "input": { 
        "inputParameters": { 
          "destination": "Chicago", 
          "date": "2024-07-10" 
        } }, 
      "output": {

      },

        } }, 
      "output": { 
        "hotels": ["The Grand Chicago", "Lakeview Inn"] 
      }, 
      "children": [] 
    }, 
    { 
      "name": "agenda_llm", 
      "type": "llm", 
      "input": { 
        "prompt": "Draft a meeting agenda", 
        "input": [ 
          { 
            "role": "system", 
            "content": "You are an executive assistant." 
          }, 
          { 
            "role": "user", 
            "content": "Create an agenda for a client strategy meeting." 
          } 
        ] 
      }, 
      "output": "1. Q2 review\n2. Client feedback\n3. Strategy planning", 
      "children": [] 
    } 
  ] 
} 

Expected JSON: 
{ 
  "task": "Plan a business trip to Chicago next week, including booking a flight, reserving a hotel, and drafting a client meeting agenda." 
}

IMPORTANT ENFORCEMENT RULES:

- If multiple user inputs exist, identify the overall task that user has in mind.
- Do not include execution details, tools, function names, or reasoning text.
- Avoid restating or paraphrasing beyond clarity; preserve the user's intent exactly.
- When uncertain, extract **less rather than more** — prefer minimal, factual phrasing over speculative completion.
