arXiv:2606.00135v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Tool-calling is a central component of modern large language model (LLM) agents, equipping them with skills beyond their parametric knowledge. This paper studies tool-calling along two complementary axes: effectiveness, i.e., how this capability is measured, and efficiency, i.e., how it is learned. On effectiveness, we systematically analyze tool-calling evaluation pipelines and show that results can be highly sensitive to seemingly minor, often undocumented implementation choices including the random seed, system prompt, multi-turn template cons
