Toollery is a training‑free framework that compresses candidate lists for large language model agents, enabling efficient selection from thousands of skills and tools. It generates user‑intent queries from each skill or tool specification, builds a retrieval index, and limits online selection to a compact top‑k set before the LLM makes its final decision. Evaluations on the SkillRouter benchmark, BFCL‑V4, and a proprietary smart‑cockpit dataset show that Toollery improves recall and end‑to‑end selection while keeping selection costs bounded.

ToolSearcher is a reinforcement learning framework designed to improve large‑scale tool selection for large language models. It introduces category‑constrained discrimination, event‑level search modeling, and trajectory‑aligned credit allocation to better distinguish similar tools, optimize multi‑turn search, and provide fine‑grained rewards. Experiments on large‑scale benchmarks show that ToolSearcher outperforms strong baselines in iterative search and complex tool composition scenarios.
