Evidence-Guided Recovery for AI Agents with Ambiguous Tool Outcomes and Partial Execution

What happened: A paper proposes evidence-guided task recovery for AI agents facing ambiguous tool outcomes and partial execution after tool timeouts, using a shared admissibility check and a terminal certificate. Key numbers: In a finite study of 37 assignments, planning and three active controls each certify 28 completions. Why it matters: Both evaluated models show a positive completion difference, and the authors note the comparison measures the advice interface under a common shield, with search-versus-rule advice requiring a separate matched comparison.
