明确提示验证频率能显著提升工程智能体的验证行为与成功率。

Engineering agents that interact with external simulators may need to coordinate design modification with reacquisition of engineering evidence for the modified state. We ask whether first post-edit re-verification changes when explicit verification-cadence guidance is retained versus omitted while verification-relevant state/facts are held constant. Cadence-Guided (CG) retained an instruction to request a new simulation after a substantive modification, whereas Cadence-Omitted (CO) removed that instruction; neither condition used a hard gate. The study therefore measures instruction-conditioned post-edit verification-policy adherence rather than spontaneous recognition that prior evidence has become stale. Using DWSIM as the simulator backend and continuous valve-pressure adjustment, five Alibaba/Qwen models were evaluated on eight synthetic cases; each model-case-condition combination was executed three times via live API calls, yielding 120 evaluation slots per condition. Re-verification was observed in 94/120 CG slots versus 32/120 CO slots; cadence violations occurred in 26/120 versus 87/120; and bounded final success was reached in 95/120 versus 35/120. qwen3.5-35b-a3b showed minimal re-verification (1/24 in CG and 0/24 in CO) and no final success in either condition. Within this bounded protocol, explicit post-edit verification-cadence guidance was associated with more re-verification, fewer cadence violations, and more frequent bounded final success, supporting the treatment of verification cadence as an explicit interaction-protocol component.
