EDGEGEN: Improving Tool-Calling Agents Beyond Happy Paths with Synthetic Edge Case Generation

EDGEGEN is a synthetic task generation framework that extracts compliance rules from a tool‑calling agent’s specification to create database‑grounded edge‑case tasks that violate those rules. By combining EdgeGen with existing synthetic data generation methods, it forms a fully automated closed‑loop system that requires no human annotation. Experiments show that finetuning on EdgeGen data improves performance by 2–42 % on the tau2bench airline domain, while harness optimization yields 10–30 % gains over human‑curated and base harnesses for the Gemma‑4‑e4b model.
