arXiv:2609.09395v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Language models act through tools, yet practical agents face libraries containing thousands of interfaces. We introduce the tool menu as the short, ordered subset of available tools shown to an agent before execution. The agent can call only tools in this menu. Multi-step tasks require the final action and the prerequisite tools that create its inputs in a usable order. Current constructors rank tools by request relevance, which can surface the final action while omitting or delaying less obvious producers. We introduce the state path, a pre-execution route from the observable request state to the desired outcome, and propose State-Path Tool Me
