Student Agent for Text Adventure Games
This is your submission file. Implement the StudentAgent class to play
text adventure games using the MCP server you also implement.
Your agent should:
1. Connect to the MCP server via the provided client
2. Use the ReAct pattern (Thought -> Action -> Observation)
3. Call MCP tools to interact with the game
4. Maximize the game score within the step limit
Required method:
async def run(self, client, game, max_steps, seed, verbose) -> RunResult
The 'client' is a FastMCP Client already connected to your MCP server.
Use it to call tools like: await client.call_tool("play_action", {"action": "look"})
Tips:
- Start by looking around and understanding your environment
- Keep track of visited locations to avoid loops
- Pick up useful items (lamp, sword, etc.)
- The seed parameter should be used to set your LLM's seed for reproducibility

SYSTEM_PROMPT = """You are playing a classic text adventure game.
GOAL: Explore the world, solve puzzles, and maximize your score.
AVAILABLE TOOLS (use via MCP):
- play_action: Execute a game command (north, take lamp, open mailbox, etc.)
- memory: Get current game state and history (if implemented)
- inventory: Check what you're carrying (if implemented)
- get_map: Get a map of explored locations
- add_interactive: Add an interactive object to memory (position is automatically tracked, but you cann add it manutally if it is not in the current location)
- get_interactives: Get list of visited interactive objects, with their positions.
- set_current_objective: Set a new current objective
VALID GAME COMMANDS for play_action:
- Movement: north, south, east, west, up, down, enter, exit
- Objects: take <item>, drop <item>, open <thing>, close <thing>, examine <thing>
- Light: turn on lamp, turn off lamp
- Combat: attack <enemy> with <weapon>
- Other: inventory, look, read <thing>, wait
FORBIDDEN (will NOT work): check, inspect, search, grab, use, help
RESPOND IN THIS EXACT FORMAT (no markdown):
THOUGHT: <brief reasoning about what to do next>
TOOL: <tool_name>
ARGS: <JSON arguments>
Examples:
THOUGHT: I need to see what's around me.
TOOL: play_action
ARGS: {"action": "look"}
THOUGHT: I found a locked door. I might find a key to open it.
TOOL: add_interactive
ARGS: {"object":"locked door"}
THOUGHT:I have picked up a key, this might be useful to open a door I saw earlier.
TOOL: get_interactives
ARGS: {}
STRATEGY:
1. Start by looking around and checking memory
2. Explore systematically
3. Always pick up useful items (key, lamp, sword, etc.)
4. Open containers (mailbox, window, etc.)
5. Try to use items to interact with the environment (attack, read, use key, etc). Check you
6. Check your inventory to see if the items you have can be useful.
DO NOT repeat the same action multiple times in a row.
Try to follow the current objective, but adapt if you find new information.
