为大模型工具检索引入风险感知机制，提升安全与效果的平衡。

Tool retrieval determines which external tools are exposed to an LLM agent for a user query or task, making retrieval a critical pre-execution safety boundary. Unlike document retrieval, tool retrieval exposes executable actions: a tool that is useful for one task may be unnecessary or risky for another. However, existing tool-retrieval methods primarily optimize semantic relevance, and safety evaluations often focus on failures after tool execution rather than risks introduced during retrieval. We study risk-aware tool retrieval, where the goal is to retrieve useful tools while reducing exposure to higher-risk tools. We propose a lightweight reranking framework on top of a frozen first-stage retriever. The framework models query-conditioned relevance and tool-level exposure risk separately, combines them through an explicit parameter controlling the tradeoff between safety and utility, smooths scores over a ToolGraph, and optionally applies rule-based safety constraints. To support retrieval-time safety evaluation, we annotate 6,108 tools across UltraTool and Seal-Tools with five ordinal risk levels and define metrics that measure risky-tool exposure in the top-$k$ results. Experiments on UltraTool and Seal-Tools show that our approach improves the relevance--safety tradeoff over relevance-only retrievers and reranking baselines, with the rule-filtered variant providing a conservative operating point for safety-critical deployments. These findings indicate that retrieval-stage filtering can reduce the candidate action space exposed to agents before execution, complementing downstream tool-use safeguards.
