Researchers have developed a new chance-corrected metric called Bits-over-Random (BoR) to determine the optimal number of tools an LLM agent should consider for a given query. This metric evaluates whether the success rate at a certain tool shortlist depth is better than random chance. The study found that adaptive tool lists, tailored to each query, can significantly improve an LLM's ability to select the correct tool, even when presented with a much smaller number of options compared to fixed, larger lists.
