make agents use tools and reusable skills more reliably
Signalthis paper targets the concrete research problem behind make agents use tools and reusable skills more reliably. It uses the title, abstract, and public signals around agent, inference, fine-tuning, training to frame the training and post-training task, data, or evaluation flow to improve make agents use tools and reusable skills more reliably. The main claim is the title, abstract, and public signals indicate: Pedestrian simulators need a behaviour rule for every agent, but privacy usually limits the data for setting one to aggregate statistics, namely zone-level device counts and origin-to-destination (OD) flows, with no individual trajectories

Reading boundaries
- Automated ranking favors papers with community, code, and applied-engineering signals.
- Briefs are based on titles, abstracts, and public metadata by default, not full-paper review.
- External API failures degrade optional signals and are reflected in internal records.
