评估 LLM 作为真实客服技能中的智能体工作流执行器
Evaluating LLMs as Agentic Workflow Executors in Real-World Customer Support Skills
AI 导读
研究用从真实客服对话中挖掘的重复工作流构建基准,经结构化技能描述、工具映射和 MCP 兼容环境模拟生成多轮工具调用对话。对 17 个模型(1.7B-14B 开源及闭源)做零样本评测,GPT-5.4 大幅领先,QWEN3.5-9B 是最强开源模型,在每位评审下均超过多个闭源基线。10 组评审两两一致的 Kappa 均值仅 0.524,说明评审可靠性需与模型能力同等重视。

Abstract:Enterprise customer-support agents increasingly rely on Large Language Models (LLMs) to execute bounded, tool-using workflows. We study this problem through the lens of Skill LLMs: specialized executors that operate within a selected skill context and must complete a narrow, stateful workflow under policy and tool constraints. We present a benchmark construction pipeline that mines recurrent workflows from real-world transcripts, converts them into structured skill descriptions, maps them to tool requirements, simulates environment state with Model Context Protocol (MCP)-compatible mocks, and generates multi-turn tool-using dialogues. Using this benchmark, we conduct a large-scale zero-shot evaluation of 17 language models spanning closed model families and deployment-oriented open-weight models from 1.7B to 14B parameters, each judged independently by five strong LLM judges, plus a deterministic rule-based evaluator that checks tool coverage, hallucinated tool use, and unsupported claims. We find a consistent ranking in which GPT-5.4 leads by a wide margin and QWEN3.5-9B is the strongest open-weight model (below 20B), outperforming several closed baselines under every judge. We also find that judge choice is not a negligible methodological detail: pairwise judge agreement on the pass/fail verdict averages Kappa=0.524 across 10 judge pairs. These results suggest that comprehensive zero-shot evaluation of skill execution requires judge reliability as carefully as model capability.
