ToolGrad: Efficient tool-use dataset generation with textual "gradients"
ToolGrad reverses tool-use dataset generation: it builds a ground-truth API chain first, then writes a matching user prompt.
Why it matters: For teams creating tool-use training data, testing and extending API workflows before writing prompts offers a way to reduce wasted search while producing verified chains. The reported results suggest that such data can also improve compact models’ tool-use performance.
