GIST-CMTF: Goal-State Inference for Causal Minimal Tool Filtering in LLM Agents

  • 引入目标推断层,从模糊请求中生成可能目标
  • 任务成功率97.0%,错误目标执行率降至2.5%
  • 适合需要高可靠性工具调用的智能代理系统

工具增强型大模型代理依赖运行时过滤来决定每一步可见的工具。因果最小工具过滤(CMTF)通过仅暴露下一个因果必需的工具前缘来减少工具选择混淆,但其假设用户请求已映射到符号化目标状态。实际中,如“处理我的预约”或“处理这封邮件”等请求可能对应多个目标,导致错误目标执行——代理遵循了对非预期目标有效的因果工具路径。我们提出GIST-CMTF,一个目标状态推断层,能在与CMTF相同的状态转移词汇表上预测候选符号化目标,评估歧义性,并决定应用CMTF或暴露澄清作为产生缺失目标或状态变量的因果动作。我们在七种模型后端、六种过滤方法和120个受控工具使用任务上评估GIST-CMTF。结果表明,其任务成功率达97.0%,显著优于最优目标CMTF的80.1%和语义目标CMTF的82.9%。错误目标执行率从最优目标CMTF的19.4%降至2.5%,同时保持因果过滤的一工具暴露特性,且使用的标记数远少于全工具暴露。这些结果表明,可靠的工具增强代理应在暴露外部动作前验证目标状态,而不仅是工具相关性。

原文摘要 · Abstract (English)

Tool-augmented LLM agents rely on runtime filtering to decide which tools should be visible at each step. Causal Minimal Tool Filtering (CMTF) reduces tool-choice confusion by exposing only the next causally necessary tool frontier, but it assumes that the user request has already been mapped to a symbolic goal state. In practice, requests such as "handle my appointment" or "take care of this email" may correspond to multiple possible goals. This creates wrong-goal execution, where an agent follows a valid causal tool path for an unintended objective. We introduce GIST-CMTF, a goal-state inference layer that predicts candidate symbolic goals over the same state-transition vocabulary used by CMTF, estimates ambiguity, and either applies CMTF or exposes clarification as a causal action that produces missing goal or state variables. We evaluate GIST-CMTF across seven model backends, six filtering methods, and 120 controlled tool-use tasks. GIST-CMTF achieves 97.0% task success, compared with 80.1% for top-goal CMTF and 82.9% for semantic-goal CMTF. It reduces wrong-goal execution from 19.4% under top-goal CMTF to 2.5%, while preserving the one-tool exposure of causal filtering and using substantially fewer tokens than all-tools exposure. These results suggest that reliable tool-augmented agents should validate goal state, not only tool relevance, before exposing external actions.
