HERA: Harness-Environment Co-Evolution for Reliable Agentic Abstention

Researchers have introduced HERA (Harness-Environment Co-Evolution), a method for improving agentic abstention — the ability of large language model agents to recognize when a task is infeasible and no valid solution exists. HERA addresses a reliability gap in LLM agents that act in complex tool-use environments, where agents often fail to abstain from tasks that cannot be completed. The work builds on recent formalization of agentic abstention as a distinct problem, targeting existing approaches' shortcomings.
