Revised 08.03.2021 Deeper explanation: For the disambiguation you need to know: 1) the abilities of both agents (destroy a box, decrease health of another agent, ...) 2) the implications of the event ("Mario has jumped on the head of Toad") 3) the state of the environment and agents before the event occured In this case, jumping on the head of Toad let to Toad's health decrease. As Toad can only destroy the box when Toad has increased health, Toad could not destroy the box.
