How Do Tool-Augmented LLM Agents Perform on Real-World Energy Analytics Tasks?
Agentic benchmarks have emerged across general-purpose and domain-specific settings, including finance, coding, law, and drug discovery, yet energy-domain evaluations remain largely limited to static knowledge recall. This is a critical gap for a sector that requires live data retrieval, specialized regulatory and market knowledge, and multi-step quantitative reasoning under real-world constraints. We present an empirical study of tool-augmented LLM agents on real-world energy market analytics tasks. Our evaluation environment includes 243 expert-curated problems across three categories: (1) Market Data Retrieval and Analysis, (2) Knowledge Retrieval and Interpretation, and (3) Advanced Quantitative Modeling and Decision Analytics. Tasks include price and demand analysis, tariff impact modeling, asset revenue and returns estimation, hedging strategy analysis, and optimization modeling, with problems spanning multiple difficulty levels. Agents are equipped with a configurable suite of domain tools, including live electricity market APIs for major U.S. ISOs, regulatory docket search, utility tariff databases, asset optimization models, and retrieval-augmented generation over energy market documents. We assess agent responses using a multi-dimensional evaluation protocol that scores approach correctness, answer accuracy, attribute alignment, and source validity, with category-aware routing to match scoring criteria to question type. We evaluate both closed-source and open-source LLMs, providing a comparative analysis of how model capability and domain tooling interact in a high-stakes professional domain. Key artifacts are publicly released to support reproducibility and future research.

ThinkGeo: Evaluating Tool-Augmented Agents for Remote Sensing Tasks
Recent progress in large language models (LLMs) has enabled tool-augmented agents capable of solving complex real-world tasks through step-by-step reasoning. However, existing evaluations often focus on general-purpose o…
Spatial ReasoningDo Multimodal Agents Really Benefit from Tool Use? A Systematic Study of Capability Gains
Tool-augmented multimodal agents show strong benchmark gains, often taken as evidence that agents have learned to use tools. We argue that this interpretation can be premature: a tool-call trace alone does not show wheth…
Mathematical ReasoningEntity Binding Failures in Tool-Augmented Agents
Tool-augmented language-model agents are often evaluated by whether they select the correct tool, produce valid API arguments, and complete the requested task. However, an agent may choose the right tool and still act on…
ClawGuard: A Runtime Security Framework for Tool-Augmented LLM Agents Against Indirect Prompt Injection
Tool-augmented Large Language Model (LLM) agents have demonstrated impressive capabilities in automating complex, multi-step real-world tasks, yet remain vulnerable to indirect prompt injection. Adversaries exploit this …
PALADIN: Self-Correcting Language Model Agents to Cure Tool-Failure Cases
Tool-augmented language agents frequently fail in real-world deployment due to tool malfunctions--timeouts, API exceptions, or inconsistent outputs--triggering cascading reasoning errors and task abandonment. Existing ag…
