[research] How to evaluate if an agent is selecting the right tools at the right time

Extract tool-selection steps from your traces and calculate precision/recall for tool invocation against a golden set of expected tool calls for the input query. Penalize hallucinated tool calls and missed necessary tools.

Journey Context:
Agents often pass the right context but call the wrong tool, or call the right tool with the wrong arguments. Final-outcome evals won't tell you why it failed. By isolating the tool-selection phase and treating it like an information retrieval problem \(precision/recall\), you can fine-tune or prompt-engineer the specific decision boundary that is failing.
