When Web Agents Finish but Still Fail: Reproducible Triggers and Trace Diagnostics for Parallel Web Exploration

arXiv:2606. 20724v2 Announce Type: replace Abstract: Long-horizon web agents often fail in ways hidden by final-answer evaluation: they may visit useful pages, produce a well-formed answer, and terminate confidently while still missing fields, over-including unsupported items, or relying on stale evidence.

MCP Server Architecture Patterns for LLM-Integrated Applications

The Model Context Protocol (MCP), introduced by Anthropic in November 2024, defines a standardized interface for connecting large language models (LLMs) to external tools, data sources, and services. Within months of release, hundreds of community-built MCP servers appeared on GitHub, but no software-maintenance literature has yet described how the ecosystem is being structured in production.

Always-OnAgents:A Survey of Persistent Memory, State, and Governance in LLMAgents

Always-on agents are systems whose future behavior depends on durable state accumulated across earlier interactions. We treat them as persistent-state systems: the operative system includes retrievable memories, but also task ledgers, permissions, credentials, commitments, provenance and audit records, shared state, trigger conditions, and externally committed effects linked to those records.

Grounding LLM Reasoning under Incomplete Graph Evidence

Knowledge graphs can guide large language models (LLMs) reasoning, but the graph seen by a system is usually a retrieved, linked, temporally scoped, and incomplete evidence state rather than a complete account of truth. We develop a theoretical perspective on grounding observable LLM trajectories under such incomplete graph evidence.

Parametric Skills

Since intelligence fundamentally relies on efficient skill acquisition (Chollet, 2019), the ability to leverage skills is critical. For LLMs, skills, manually authored or extracted from task trajectories, are textual recipes encoding mature problem-solving experience and are critical to agentic capabilities.
