The paper introduces TASTE, an automatic task synthesis method that generates challenging agent benchmarks by evolving tool sequences, demonstrating that existing benchmarks are saturated and that TAS…

The paper argues that current 'on-the-fly' AI agent design lacks necessary software engineering rigor and proposes an 'AI Workflow Store' to provide hardened, reusable, and reliable agent workflows.

SelSkill introduces a dual-granularity preference learning framework that treats skill use as a 'skill-or-skip' decision, significantly improving agent performance and execution precision in complex a…

The paper introduces RedundancyBench, a new benchmark for detecting unnecessary steps in LLM agent trajectories, finding that this task is highly complex and difficult to solve.

This paper introduces a failure-aware observability framework to diagnose wasted computation in multi-agent LLM systems by mapping recurring failure modes to online trace signals.

The paper identifies that the convenience of host-acting agents leads to semantic under-specification in user goals, which forces the agent to generate potentially risky execution plans.

The paper analyzes how runtime safety enforcement impacts the performance of multi-step LLM agents, finding that while safety mechanisms can block unsafe actions, they impose a significant performance…
