Exploring Agentic Tool-Calling Decisions via Uncertainty-Aligned Reinforcement Learning
Large language model (LLM)-based agents often make suboptimal tool-use decisions, including unsupported tool invocation and hallucinated direct responses, which may accumulate errors throughout multi-step interactions. Existing approaches mainly improve these behaviors through inference-time correction or coarse-grained reward signals based on decision outcomes and structured checklists, leaving the uncertainty characteristics of agent decisions underexplored. We observe that decision-oriented reinforcement learning tends to weaken the uncertainty separation between correct and incorrect actions, resulting in overconfident mistakes and weaker exploration signals. Therefore, we propose TRU...
