SpecBox: Speculative Sandbox Scheduling for Efficient LLM Agent Serving

arXiv:2607. 23933v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: As LLM agents increasingly rely on the Model Context Protocol (MCP) to invoke isolated external sandboxes, disaggregated sandbox deployment introduces a fundamental tension between resource utilization and interactive tail latency.

PeakBench: Benchmarking Resource-Aware Tool Invocation in LLM Agents

PeakBench is a new benchmark designed to evaluate how large language model agents invoke multiple tools while respecting resource constraints and parallel execution. It provides executable multi‑tool workflows with dependency annotations and measured resource profiles, and introduces a two‑part evaluation framework that separates logical planning from physical scheduling. The study shows that strong logical planning alone does not guarantee safe or efficient execution, and that providing resource information can reduce overflows and improve utilization.
