VAKRA: Evaluating Multi-Hop Reasoning Across APIs and Retrieval Under Tool-Use Policies
arXiv cs.AI · Published · 3 min read
In 30 seconds
- What happened
- VAKRA benchmark evaluates AI agents on multi-hop reasoning across 8,000+ executable APIs in 62 domains with tool-use policy constraints.
- Why it matters
- Enterprise engineers building or deploying AI agents that must combine API calls and document retrieval under operational constraints.
- Watch out
- Best models achieve only 70% on single-hop tasks and 50% on multi-step reasoning; failures stem from language reasoning, not tool mechanics.
