A T-API-Compliant ReAct Agentic Loop for Optical Networks: Generic vs. Domain-Specific Tool Abstractions

arXiv:2606.18000v1 Announce Type: cross Abstract: Optical networks need intent-driven, closed-loop agentic management, a key enabler for higher autonomy levels. We present the first T-API-compliant reasoning and act (ReAct) loop. We show that domain-specific composite tools achieve 90% oracle-validated correctness with threefold token savings compared to generic tools.

Why this matters
Why now

The increasing complexity and scale of optical networks require more autonomous management, aligning with the rapid advancements in AI agentic systems.

Why it’s important

This development indicates a tangible application of AI agents in critical infrastructure, promising significant efficiency gains and higher autonomy levels for network management.

What changes

Network operations can become more intent-driven and automated, potentially reducing human intervention and latency in managing optical networks.
