arXiv:2606.10803v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Multimodal Large Language Models (MLLMs) excel at utilizing digital APIs and increasingly serve as the "brain" of embodied AI, instructing robots to interact with the physical world. In such embodied settings, a central capability is the use of physical tools, which underpins MLLMs' ability to assist humans in real-world tasks. Despite the importance, MLLMs' proficiency in physical tool use remains largely unexplored. To address this gap, we introduce PhysTool-Bench, the first physical tool-use benchmark designed to evaluate MLLMs' ability to com
