SAP: State-Guided Data Synthesis with Argument Provenance for Multi-Turn Tool Use
Abstract
SAP synthesizes multi-turn tool-use data with argument provenance constraints to improve long-horizon agent execution and yields a competitive 4B-parameter model.
High-quality multi-turn tool-use data is essential for training agentic models, yet existing data synthesis methods often underrepresent the argument-level dependencies that are critical to long-horizon tool use. As a result, even when a model selects the correct tool, task execution may still fail because the model fills tool arguments with fabricated, stale, or weakly grounded values. To address this problem, we propose State-Guided Data Synthesis with Argument Provenance (SAP). SAP combines state guidance, tool-argument provenance constraints, and turn-level validation to efficiently construct tool-use trajectories with long-range dependencies and high accuracy. Using data generated by SAP, we build SAP-4B, which is highly competitive even when compared with much larger models across multiple benchmarks. Source code, synthesized data, and trained weights are available at https://github.com/Zichen1024/SAP.
