arXiv:2605.26952v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic reinforcement learning (RL) has proven effective for training LLM-based agents with external tool-use capabilities. However, we identify that agentic RL training induces increasing redundant tool calls and blurs the model's intrinsic knowledge boundary, where the model fails to distinguish when tools are needed versus when parametric knowledge suffices. Existing solutions based on reward shaping create coarse-grained optimization targets that tend to incentivize indiscriminate tool-call suppression, leading to reward hacking. In this pape
