AnyAct introduces a universal action layer that consolidates diverse tool capabilities into a self‑evolving action space for AI agents operating in open‑world environments. It tackles the scale dilemma, tool non‑stationarity, and heterogeneous feedback by using hierarchical progressive retrieval and test‑time reliability evolution, while a heterogeneous observation grounding module unifies multi‑modal feedback. Evaluations on LiveMCPBench and the newly created OSMCP benchmark show state‑of‑the‑art performance, with significant gains in task success rate and reduced execution steps, especially for models with limited native capabilities.
arXiv:2608. 10039v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic workflows have become an important abstraction for building reliable LLM-based automation systems by organizing large language models (LLMs), tools, and control logic into explicit execution structures.
Historical tool-use trajectories provide valuable experience for large language model (LLM) agents to plan and coordinate tool usage. Existing approaches directly construct tool-level graphs from these trajectories, but the resulting graphs remain tied to specific tools and are hard to generalize across tool sets.
The paper introduces Tool Primitives, a design that replaces rigid API schemas with natural language interfaces for tool calling, enabling seamless inter-tool communication. It builds ToolFace, a repository of over 25,000 functions that LLMs can dynamically retrieve, and HEART, a harness engineering framework that orchestrates tool use with planning, routing, and verification. Experiments show HEART outperforms fine‑tuned models and leading commercial LLMs while cutting API costs by up to 85%.
The paper introduces FRESH, a Failure-aware Retrieval framework that uses Experience-Structured Heterogeneous graphs to transform past successes and failures into structured external memory for tool‑using agents. By explicitly modeling dependencies among tasks, actions, errors, repairs, and execution conditions, FRESH enables frozen language models to reuse reliable strategies, avoid recurring failures, and make safer decisions in stateful tool interactions. Experiments on τ‑Bench and AppWorld with multiple open‑source models demonstrate that FRESH consistently improves task success and tool‑use reliability compared to no‑memory agents and other memory‑based baselines.
