7. Which Metadata Matters for LLM Tool Selection in MCP? Evidence from Controlled Factor-Level Interventions
arXiv CS.AI
arXiv:2610.14334v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: In Model Context Protocol (MCP) systems, LLMs select tools from metadata rather than from their implementations. Names and descriptions summarize what a tool does, while the parameter schema specifies the fields a tool accepts and how they are organiz…
8. When Pleasing the User Compromises Care: AI Sycophancy in Caregiver-Mediated Healthcare
arXiv CS.AI
arXiv:2610.14360v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Large language model (LLM) alignment often assumes that the user interacting with a model is also the primary beneficiary of its behavior. Yet in many consequential settings, one person directs the system while another bears the consequences. We study…
9. ANASSA: From High-Level Framework to Low-Level Architecture for Spatial Agentic AI
arXiv CS.AI
arXiv:2610.14382v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agentic AI systems operating over geospatial data require more than autonomous reasoning and tool use; they must also support explicit orchestration, spatial validation, governance, provenance, failure handling, and human decision authority. Prior wor…
