ParaTool: Shifting Tool Representations from Context to Parameters 文章

arXiv:2605.29561v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool calling extends large language models (LLMs) by enabling grounded interaction with external executable interfaces, thereby supporting environment-coupled problem solving. However, mainstream in-context learning (ICL) approaches typically incorporate detailed tool documentation and usage examples directly into the context. This results in substantial inference overhead and heightened risks of hallucination as the context length grows. Conversely, while tuning-based methods improve general tool-calling capabilities, they often fail to effectively internalize the specific details of previously seen tools, thereby retaining a dependency on in-context documentation. To address these limitations, we propose ParaTool, a framework that projects each tool into a dedicated, loadable set of parameters.
