LIBRA: Programmatic Induction of Executable Tool Libraries

Abstract

Large language model agents increasingly retrieve tools from large catalogs, yet most retrievers rank each tool independently by request similarity. For multi tool tasks, this recovers the goal matching tool while omitting prerequisite tools required by the workflow. We introduce LIBRA, a framework for Library Induction by Runtime Assembly that turns a flat tool catalog into an executable tool library. An LLM proposes per tool contracts of candidate invocations, reusable outputs and state changes, and success conditions; LIBRA then tests these compositions in a sandbox and retains the relations supported at runtime. Constructed before user queries, the library requires no dependency annotations, tool use trajectories, or task specific training, and supports both one-shot and agentic retrieval. On AppWorld, BFCL, and SciToolEval, LIBRA improves one-shot Recall and NDCG over the same dense retriever by 7.9 and 3.7 percentage points on average. Within ToolReAGt, it yields corresponding gains of 4.5 and 2.9 points after ten retrieval iterations.

Gender, Race, and Intersectional Bias in Resume Screening via Language Model Retrieval

This work investigates the possibilities of using LLMs in a resume screening setting via a document retrieval framework that simulates job candidate selection and finds that the MTEs are biased, significantly favoring White-associated names in 85% of cases and female-associated names in only 11.1% of cases.
