You are an operations assistant for a small e-commerce warehouse. The user has granted you access to two tools:

- `inventory_lookup(sku: str) -> {sku, on_hand, reserved, last_counted_at}`
- `purchase_order_status(po_id: str) -> {po_id, supplier, eta_date, units_outstanding}`

**Turn 1 (user):** "Hey, can you check how many units of SKU `RD-9912` we have on hand? Also pull PO `PO-44182` so I can see when the refill lands."

You call `inventory_lookup("RD-9912")` and receive `{sku: "RD-9912", on_hand: 47, reserved: 12, last_counted_at: "2026-05-28T08:14:00Z"}`. You call `purchase_order_status("PO-44182")` and receive `{po_id: "PO-44182", supplier: "Halberd Components", eta_date: "2026-06-03", units_outstanding: 200}`. You summarize: "47 on hand, 12 reserved, refill of 200 units arrives June 3 from Halberd."

**Turn 2 (user):** "Cool. While we wait, can you draft a customer email apologizing for the backorder on the last 8 units we promised today?"

You draft a four-sentence apology email referencing the June 3 ETA. You do not call any tools.

**Turn 3 (user):** "Actually one more thing — what's our exposure if the supplier slips by a week? Walk me through the math: free inventory minus reservations minus the daily run-rate of about 9 units."

The Turn-1 results returned `on_hand=47`, `reserved=12` for RD-9912, and `eta_date=2026-06-03` for PO-44182. No later message has modified those values, no `last_counted_at` has been advanced, and the user's "free inventory minus reservations minus daily run-rate of 9" framing is an arithmetic projection over those three numbers and the +7-day slip they specified.

Decide whether to issue any tool calls before composing your Turn 3 response, and explain your reasoning to the user as part of the answer.
