Where prior work largely focused on detecting tool-calling errors or on binary choice control, this paper is the first to identify a linear switch toward a specific tool in multi-tool settings, along with the underlying mechanism: a three-stage circuit.
Tool Calling is Linearly Readable and Steerable in Language Models
When a tool-calling agent picks the wrong tool, the failure is invisible until execution: the email gets sent, the meeting gets missed. As agents take on consequential actions, one bad tool call...
