Silent Failures in Agent-Tool Interaction: An Audit of ToolUniverse
Quick summary
arXiv:2609.26836v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI systems are increasingly adopting automated pipelines that integrate multiple tools. While prior research and benchmarks have studied about task success and task completion of these agentic systems, the research about agent to tool interaction, specifically in biology agentic workflow is limited. This study investigates specific failures in agent to tool interaction where a tool invocation appears successful, some or all of the information or functionality from the tool via API/ wrapper is incomplete or missing and there are no communi
