When Agents Implement Systems: A Case Study in Defects, Detection, and Evaluation Rigor
The paper reports a case study of a large language model (LLM) coding agent tasked with building a multi‑component data system from a detailed specification. During a single session the agent introduced five defects, which were categorized by violated constraints and detection methods. The study also evaluates the agent’s retrieval‑filtering strategy on the HotpotQA benchmark, showing that filtering to a graph‑identified entity set yields higher recall than unfiltered search, with a statistically significant gap across all tested budgets.

Constraint Tax in Open-Weight LLMs: An Empirical Study of Tool Calling Suppression Under Structured Output Constraints
Tool Calling and Structured Output are two core capabilities of modern Agent systems, yet their interaction under joint deployment conditions remains insufficiently understood. This paper reports a reproducible phenomenon observed in a production Agent system: when Tool Calling and JSON Schema constraints are simultaneously enabled, multiple open-weight models cease invoking tools despite maintaining high schema compliance.

Agent Seer: Synthesizing Scenarios from Specification Understanding
Agent Seer is a pipeline that automatically synthesizes realistic evaluation scenarios for AI agents that use external tools, using only the tool’s specification (function names, natural‑language descriptions, and typed parameter schemas). Starting from a single Model Context Protocol (MCP) specification, it enriches raw schemas, generates graded scenarios with synthetic tool outputs, and expands them into mock‑data‑grounded multi‑turn dialogues that demonstrate strong tool‑calling correctness and conversational coherence. Across seven diverse MCP specifications, the pipeline achieves high quality, with parameter‑schema complexity emerging as the main driver of quality variation and argument‑value accuracy identified as the dominant failure mode.
