arXiv:2607.17751v2 Announce Type: cross Abstract: We present MagicSelector, a joint optimization framework integrating Counterfactual task decomposition, Progressive reranking, and Dynamic Top-K, designed to address the fundamental challenges of tool retrieval in agents. MagicSelector is a specialized framework capable of translating ambiguous user instructions into executable atomic subtasks and guiding high-precision tool retrieval, effectively mitigating redundant noise and severe context distraction in out-of-domain (OOD) scenarios. We empower MagicSelector with these capabilities through three key contributions: (1) a preference-guided counterfactual task decomposition mechanism that utilizes a counterfactual reward to quantify the marginal causal gain of decomposition on retrieval ranking, effectively imposing fine-grained structural supervision on logical coherence; (2) a progressive tool reranking method driven by self-distillation hard negative mining, which optimizes both point-wise and list-wise relevance to enhance fine-grained discrimination among highly similar tools; and (3) a dual semantic boundary-aware dynamic Top-K strategy that adaptively monitors reranking score cliffs and inter-tool semantic shifts to dynamically truncate the candidate list, maximizing relevant tool recall while filtering long-tail noise. Evaluated on MTDTool, the first task decomposition benchmark we constructed tailored for mobile multi-turn interactions with process-level annotations, MagicSelector yields promising performance. Extensive experiments demonstrate that MagicSelector …
