RT @omarsar0: New research from Intuit AI Research. Agent performance depends on more than just the agent. It also depends on the quality of the tool descriptions it reads. However, tool interfaces are still written for humans, not LLMs. As the number of candidate tools grows, poor descriptions become a real bottleneck for tool selection and parameter generation. As Karpathy has suggested, let's build for AI Agents. This new research introduces Trace-Free+, a curriculum learning framework that teaches models to rewrite tool descriptions into versions that are more effective for LLM agents. The key idea: during training, the model learns from execution traces showing which tool descriptions lead to successful usage. Then, through curriculum learning, it progressively reduces reliance on traces, so at inference time, it can improve tool descriptions for completely unseen tools without any execution history. On StableToolBench and RestBench, the approach shows consistent gains on unseen tools, strong cross-domain generalization, and robustness as candidate tool sets scale beyond 100. Instead of only fine-tuning the agent, optimizing the tool interface itself is a practical and underexplored lever for improving agent reliability.
