PA3: Policy-Aware Agent Alignment through Chain-of-Thought
Quick summary
arXiv:2603.14602v3 Announce Type: replace-cross Abstract: Conversational assistants powered by large language models (LLMs) excel at tool-use tasks but struggle with adhering to complex, business-specific rules. While models can reason over business rules provided in context, including all policies for every query introduces high latency and wastes compute. Furthermore, these lengthy prompts lead to long contexts, harming overall performance due to the 'needle-in-a-haystack' problem. To address these challenges, we propose a multi-stage alignment method that teaches models to recall and apply
