Abstract

We introduce \ToolMATH, a math-grounded diagnostic benchmark for evaluating long-horizon tool use under controllable tool-catalog conditions. \ToolMATH converts stepwise MATH solutions into reusable Python tools with natural-language descriptions and typed schemas, and pairs each problem with a tool environment requiring sequential tool use, intermediate-output reuse, and logically connected tool-call chains. \ToolMATH controls tool availability and catalog difficulty by constructing gold tools and graded distractors with varying similarity to gold tools. \ToolMATH also incorporates behavior-conditioned metrics, enabling diagnostic evaluation beyond final accuracy. Building on these measurements, \ToolMATH emphasizes three evaluation axes: (1) \emph{Adaptability} measures how much Gold-only success is retained when gold tools are replaced entirely by distractors; (2) \emph{Robustness} measures stability under adding distractors as a noise; and (3) \emph{Tool Connectivity} measures whether models preserve accuracy over long executed tool-call chains. Furthermore, trace-level failure analyses characterize how models fail under each tool-catalog condition. Together, these diagnostics reveal distinct model profiles: reliable tool use, tool avoidance, adaptive substitution, and impacts of unreliable tool catalogs. Overall, \ToolMATH provides a controlled testbed for evaluating how language models adapt to changing tool availability, remain robust to distractors, and maintain correctness across long-horizon tool-use trajectories.

What we could verify

These are the protocol signals we could actually recover from the available paper metadata. Use them to decide whether this paper is worth deeper reading.
