arXiv:2607. 10059v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent systems based on large language models (LLMs) are increasingly deployed for autonomous tasks, yet existing evaluations mostly focus on task success rather than whether agents know when to abstain.

ToolRobustBench is a stage-wise diagnostic benchmark designed to evaluate and diagnose failures in tool‑calling agents, which are large language models that select tools, provide structured arguments, and interpret tool feedback. The benchmark aligns four perturbation families—tool‑interface, user‑intent, tool‑output/observation, and runtime‑environment—with the tool‑use pipeline, attributing failures to specific stages such as tool selection, schema grounding, argument binding, and feedback handling. Experiments across 15,456 instances, 7 models, and 16 local tools reveal that while overall performance is high, robustness degrades significantly, especially under tool‑output/observation perturbations, and mixed‑family perturbations produce non‑additive failure patterns.

The paper introduces FRESH, a Failure-aware Retrieval framework that uses Experience-Structured Heterogeneous graphs to transform past successes and failures into structured external memory for tool‑using agents. By explicitly modeling dependencies among tasks, actions, errors, repairs, and execution conditions, FRESH enables frozen language models to reuse reliable strategies, avoid recurring failures, and make safer decisions in stateful tool interactions. Experiments on τ‑Bench and AppWorld with multiple open‑source models demonstrate that FRESH consistently improves task success and tool‑use reliability compared to no‑memory agents and other memory‑based baselines.
