name: alfworld-object-state-modifier description: Uses an appliance to change the state of an object (cooling, heating, or cleaning). Use when the task requires altering an object's temperature or cleanliness using a specific device (e.g., cooling with a fridge, heating with a microwave, cleaning with a sinkbasin).

Workflow

1. Navigate to appliance: go to {appliance} (e.g., go to fridge 1)
2. Prepare if closed: If observation says appliance is closed, execute open {appliance} -- verify it opens
3. Execute state change: {action} {obj} with {appliance} -- verify observation confirms the change
4. Proceed: Continue with the next task step (e.g., placing the modified object)

Cool	cool {obj} with {appliance}	fridge 1
Heat	heat {obj} with {appliance}	microwave 1, stoveburner 1
Clean	clean {obj} with {appliance}	sinkbasin 1

Error Recovery

• "Nothing happened": Check (1) you are holding the object, (2) appliance is open/ready, (3) object and appliance names are correct
• Appliance occupied: remove existing items first with take {item} from {appliance}
