ToolPlanner: A Tool Augmented LLM for Multi Granularity Instructions with Path Planning and Feedback
Qinzhuo Wu, Wei Liu, Jian Luan, Bin Wang
Abstract
Recently, tool-augmented LLMs have gained increasing attention. Given an instruction, toolaugmented LLMs can interact with various external tools in multiple rounds and provide a final answer. However, previous LLMs were trained on overly detailed instructions, which included API names or parameters, while real users would not explicitly mention these API details. This leads to a gap between trained LLMs and real-world scenarios. In addition, most works ignore whether the interaction process follows the instruction. To address these issues, we constructed a training dataset called MGToolBench, which contains statement and category-level instructions to better reflect realworld scenarios. In addition, we propose Tool-Planner, a two-stage reinforcement learning framework that utilizes path planning and two feedback mechanisms to enhance the LLM's task completion and instruction-following capabilities. Experimental results show that Tool-Planner significantly improves the Match Rate, Pass Rate and Win Rate by 26.8%, 20.2%, and 5.6% compared to the SOTA model. Human evaluation verifies that the multi-granularity instructions can better align with users' usage habits. Our data and code are available at https://github.com/XiaoMi/toolplanner .
