arXiv:2608.08118v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: There are several methods for searching for graphs with prescribed properties, such as SAT solvers and specialized generators. These methods return the result as raw data: an adjacency matrix or a string encoding. The raw data certifies that the graph exists, but it does not reveal any structural properties of the graph. We ask whether one can automatically discover a short algebraic description if only this raw data is provided. We look for a description such as a Cayley graph $\mathrm{Cay}(\Gamma, S)$ or a lexicographic product $C_5[K_3]$. We address this question with a neurosymbolic approach. We propose an agent that runs on a general-purpose large language model with no fine-tuning or per-target training. The model interleaves reasoning with calls to the computer algebra system SageMath: it analyzes the target graph, proposes and tests candidate constructions, and revises them until the output matches the target. The agent communicates with SageMath through a Model Context Protocol (MCP) server, which we release as a general-purpose bridge. Whether a construction matches the target is checked by a single exact isomorphism test, and therefore rests on the symbolic side and not on the model. We test the approach on a benchmark of 100 highly symmetric graphs, namely two-orbit graphs on up to 25 vertices; the benchmark was fixed in advance. Our agent could find verified algebraic constructions for all of them, without falling back to raw encodings. A strong template-enumeration baseline reaches only about $20\%$, and a …
