AT-AT (Automatic Tool Optimization from Agent Traces) is an agentic tool optimizer that improves shared toolsets offline using historical agent executions while keeping agents unchanged. It employs a lightweight coding agent to read agent trajectories and evaluation results, selectively editing tool descriptions and implementations when allowed. In benchmarks, AT-AT achieves the highest task completion rates in Airline and Telecom domains at lower cost than strong baselines, and it also improves performance on TerminalBench-2 and TBLite, while reducing cost or error rates on production MCP servers.
arXiv:2602. 22480v4 Announce Type: replace Abstract: An important emerging application of coding agents is agent harness optimization: the iterative improvement of a target agent by editing and evaluating its code.
arXiv:2607. 08010v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Production LLM agents often waste latency and reliability by regenerating code for the same procedural steps on every request.
UniACE is a unified framework that standardizes the evaluation of large language model (LLM) agents by representing each benchmark as an instruction–tool–environment triplet and running models through a shared, task‑agnostic harness in isolated runtimes. It preserves native success criteria, offers an offline mode for dynamic‑resource tasks, and standardizes efficiency metrics, execution records, and failure attribution. Applying UniACE to 7 benchmarks across 24 domains and 15 models revealed significant score shifts, ranking reversals, and sensitivity to evidence representation, highlighting the impact of evaluation configuration on reported agent performance.
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.
arXiv:2608. 00101v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: AI coding agents like GitHub Copilot, Claude Code, and Codex interleave multi-step LLM inference with tool execution, creating a workload different from chatbots.
arXiv:2607. 14642v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: As Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers emerge as the core infrastructure for connecting LLMs with external tools, existing benchmarks leverage real-world MCP servers to evaluate LLM agents' tool-using capabilities.
arXiv:2606. 30560v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Coding agents are rapidly becoming a major application of agentic LLMs, but serving them efficiently remains challenging.
arXiv:2607. 11126v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) agents increasingly rely on external tools served by shared providers and accessed by heterogeneous downstream agents.
arXiv:2605. 27898v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: As LLMs are increasingly deployed as agents, reliable assessment of their agentic capabilities has become essential.
arXiv:2607. 08124v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: The behavior of an LLM agent is determined not only by the underlying model, but also by its harness: the executable program that constructs context, invokes tools, verifies intermediate results, and recovers from failures.
arXiv:2609.38201v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Long-running tools can dominate coding-agent latency: compilers, test suites, and repository commands take seconds to minutes while the agent idles. Th...
Production LLM agents often waste latency and reliability by regenerating code for the same procedural steps on every request. We replace this inference-time coding loop with an agentic tool-making pipeline that compiles repeated SOP steps into validated, versioned tools before deployment.
