Hacker News Top News

Summary

A method, comprising: receiving, at a server, a user request for execution of one or more tool calls; generating, by a large language model \(LLM\), a code block in a programming language, the code block configured to encapsulate the one or more tool calls; executing, by the server, the code block in a sandbox; in response to obtaining a pending tool call, pausing execution of the code block; transmitting the pending tool call to a client for execution; receiving, from the client, a first result of the pending tool call; resuming execution of the code block and substituting the first result of the pending tool call for the pending tool call in the code block; and returning a second result of the executed code block to the LLM\.

This paper presents a method for compiling repeated standard operating procedure steps into validated, versioned tools before deployment, replacing inference-time code generation. In a fulfillment center alarm-triage system, this approach reduces p50 latency by 42% and end-to-end error rate by up to 53%.
