SynAE: A Framework for Measuring the Quality of Synthetic Data for Tool-Calling Agent Evaluations

- 构建四维指标体系,从指令、调用、输出到下游任务评估合成数据质量
- 发现单一指标无法全面反映合成数据优劣,需多维度综合判断
- 适用于智能体开发与测试人员,尤其在真实数据不足时的替代方案验证
当前工具调用智能体常基于静态执行轨迹数据集进行评估,但内部生产数据往往因敏感或稀疏而难以使用。为此,从业者越来越多地用合成数据替代或补充真实数据。然而,如何量化合成数据与真实数据的匹配程度成为关键挑战。本文提出SynAE框架,用于评估多轮工具调用智能体合成基准数据在有效性、保真度和多样性方面的表现。该框架涵盖四个维度:(i)任务指令与中间响应,(ii)工具调用,(iii)最终输出,(iv)下游评估。通过真实可控生成方案测试常见合成数据缺陷,SynAE能精准捕捉数据在各维度上的细微差异,表明单一指标不足以全面刻画合成数据质量,亟需多轴评估。演示地址:https://synae-2026-synae-demo.static.hf.space/index.html,代码开源:https://github.com/wsqwsq/SynAE。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
Today, tool-calling agents are commonly evaluated or tested on static datasets of execution traces, including input commands, agent responses, and associated tool calls. However, internal production datasets are often insufficient or unusable for testing; for example, they may contain sensitive or proprietary data, or they may be too sparse to support comprehensive testing (especially pre-deployment). In these settings, practitioners are increasingly replacing or augmenting real datasets with synthetic ones for evaluation purposes. A key challenge is quantifying the relation between these synthetic datasets and the real data. We introduce SynAE, an evaluation framework for assessing how well synthetic benchmarks for multi-turn, tool-calling agents replicate and augment the characteristics of real data trajectories. SynAE assesses the validity, fidelity, and diversity of synthetic data across four metric categories: (i) task instructions and intermediate responses, (ii) tool calls, (iii) final outputs, and (iv) downstream evaluation. We evaluate SynAE using recent agent benchmarks and test common synthetic data failure modes via realistic and controlled generation schemes. SynAE detects fine-grained variations in data validity, fidelity and diversity, and shows that no single metric is sufficient to fully characterize synthetic data quality, motivating a multi-axis evaluation of synthetic data for agent testing. A demo of SynAE is available at https://synae-2026-synae-demo.static.hf.space/index.html, with code at https://github.com/wsqwsq/SynAE.
