EvoOntology introduces a self‑evolving ontology layer for data agents, encapsulating the ontology as an MCP server with schema, content, and tool layers. It enables agents to query and interact with the ontology at runtime, using a builder agent for autonomous construction and a self‑evolution loop that refines the ontology through attribution‑guided edits validated by backbone‑conditional evaluation. Experiments on three data‑agent benchmarks with four LLM backbones show that EvoOntology consistently outperforms strong baselines and existing semantic‑layer approaches, effectively bridging the agent‑data gap for heterogeneous data.

DI-Bench is a pipeline that automatically creates realistic data intelligence benchmarks for enterprise agents by linking data tables, dimensions, metrics, and documents into an artifact graph. It generates questions that combine structured data queries with knowledge retrieval, validates answers via query execution and LLM-generated questions, and has produced a 731-task benchmark covering knowledge retrieval, analytical computation, and rule‑grounded reasoning. Evaluation of four models on this benchmark shows that only 32% accuracy is achieved on computational tasks that involve business rules modifying the computation.

arXiv:2607. 29677v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Enterprise workflows increasingly rely on agents for \emph{schema-guided extraction}: given a document and a user-defined schema, the agent faithfully follows the schema to produce the correct output with source evidence as grounding metadata.
