AgentTune: A Unified Training Lifecycle for Tool-Using LLM Agents

We present AgentTune, a source-available Python library that provides a unified framework for developing and optimizing tool-using agents.

Key points

  • Tool-using agents increasingly require a common substrate for building, training, evaluating, distilling, and maintaining agentic systems, yet existing tooling typically addresses these stages in isolation.
  • At its core, AgentTune introduces a two-tier EventLog representation that preserves agent trajectories while supporting consistent projections for training, evaluation, and auditing.
  • Building on this substrate, the library provides a shared agent runtime, tool-calling reinforcement learning, agentic distillation, retrieval-augmented generation, decision workflows, evaluation utilities, and a designed path toward self-healing agents.
  • We demonstrate the framework across agentic tasks including legal contract search and domain-specific applications, illustrating its use for trajectory-based optimization, tool-use evaluation, and cross-task agent development.
