What EKA understood
The user is asking two things about warranty claim WCL-2026-000002: why it was rejected, and what its warranty policy says. To answer why it was rejected, we need the warranty decision and reason using get_warranty_decision. To answer what the policy says, we must first retrieve the governing documents from the warranty decision tool and then search those documents using search_documents.
Step 1
get_warranty_decision(WCL-2026-000002)
→ claim state
→ customer claim_reason
→ Support decision + decision_reason
→ policy key
→ governing document key

Step 2
search_documents(
  query = "warranty policy terms conditions rejection coverage",
  document = governing document from Step 1
)
→ retrieve what the actual governing policy says

Step 2 names its document by reference to Step 1 ($s1.governing_documents.0) and declares that dependency, so the runtime accepted the plan on its first round. The policy text is read from the one document the Documents system records as governing the claim's policy, never from a guess at its title.

Three facts that must stay separate

What the customer reported

claim_reason = "Bracket bent after a kerb strike."

What Support recorded as its decision reason

decision_reason = "Impact damage, which the extended policy excludes."

Result

COMPLETE

Both user-requested parts were fulfilled: why it was rejected, from the recorded SOURCE decision reason; and what the policy says, from a DOCUMENT passage in DOC-000050.

The answer, twice
Captured model answer · runtime output

Warranty claim WCL-2026-000002 was rejected because Support recorded the decision reason as impact damage, which the extended policy excludes. The warranty policy WP-EXT-36 states that eligible manufacturing defects may be considered during the 36-month policy period, but impact damage is explicitly excluded from coverage.

Reviewed public wording · editorial

Warranty claim WCL-2026-000002 was rejected. The reason Support recorded for the decision is “Impact damage, which the extended policy excludes.” The governing 36-month warranty policy says eligible manufacturing defects may be considered when supported by claim evidence, while impact damage is excluded from coverage.

The guide then separately exposes the customer's own claim reason, so a reader can see that EKA did not confuse the reported event with the recorded decision reason. The run issued that fact as evidence (EVD-FACT-1570031f) and made no claim from it; its causal claim rests on the recorded decision reason and the policy passage. That claim is shown as the run made it, and the guide reads it no further than its two evidence items go: the recorded reason names impact damage, and the policy excludes impact damage. Neither record states on its own that the exclusion is why the claim was rejected, so the reviewed wording reports the recorded reason rather than a cause.

Why this example matters

A simple retrieval assistant could search a policy and generate a plausible explanation.

EKA must preserve what the customer said, what Support decided, why Support recorded that decision, and what the policy says — and attach each statement to its own authority.
