Don't Blindly Trust It: How Unreliable Feedback Breaks Tool-Using LLM Agents
Researchers demonstrate that large language model agents using tools can perform dramatically worse with unreliable feedback than with no feedback at all, challenging assumptions about tool-augmented AI systems. Testing across question answering and fact verification tasks reveals severe performance inversions, where misleading information causes agents to fail catastrophically compared to falling back on base capabilities.
