Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) is widely used to ground large language models (LLMs) in external knowledge and improve factual accuracy. Prior work has explored iterative and self-reflective mechanisms to refine reasoning, but these approaches rely on internal model judgment and lack formal...

Tool-integrated reasoning (TIR) enables large language models (LLMs) to invoke external tools for tasks beyond their internal capacity but often suffers from tool overuse.Existing approaches leverage imitation learning or reward shaping to improve efficiency, yet mainly target single-tool scenari...
