Abstract

This study investigates silent failures in agent to tool interactions within automated pipelines, highlighting the lack of user awareness regarding incomplete or missing information from tool invocations.

Reality Card

Core Claim

The study identifies and categorizes 91 silent failures in agent-tool interactions, primarily occurring in the API and wrapper layers, which can propagate downstream into scientific outputs.

Method / Result

Identified 91 failures, with 51 occurring in the API layer.

Limitations

The study's findings may be limited by the specific tools and APIs examined, which may not generalize to all agent-tool interactions.
