Toward Secure and Reliable PDDL Formalization of Large Language Models with Planner-in-the-Loop Feedback

arXiv:2606.29700v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Planning often requires symbolic specifications that are both executable and verifiable. For large language models deployed in autonomous or decision-support systems, failures in such formalization may lead to unverifiable decisions, execution failures, or unsafe downstream behavior. We present NL-PDDL-Bench, a multi-domain benchmark for natural-language-to-PDDL specification construction with planner-verified executability and controlled difficulty scaling by object count. We further propose a planner-in-the-loop framework that uses validator an
