Evaluation of agent performance on the Tool-use Agent task using the HLE-500 dataset, reporting metrics across text-only, multimodal (mm), and overall performance.

A research result applies to its stated dataset, split, metric and evaluation configuration. Compare like-for-like settings, preserve the metric's unit and direction, and distinguish paper-reported results from independent reproduction. The best result recorded here is not a claim of exhaustive, current global coverage.

| Scope | Recorded value |
| --- | --- |
| Task | Tool-use Agent |
| Dataset (including any stated split) | HLE-500 |
| Metric | Text-Only Performance |
| Unit | SCALAR |
| Direction | Higher is better |
| Results loaded | 12 of 12 |
| Coverage | All results currently returned for this benchmark |

Evaluation settings may differ between results. The original papers and recorded configurations are needed to establish comparability. A shared metric name alone does not establish an identical protocol.

## Metrics

- [Text-Only Performance](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/tool-use-agent-on-hle-500.md?metric=Text-Only%20Performance>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Multimodal Performance](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/tool-use-agent-on-hle-500.md?metric=Multimodal%20Performance>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.

- [Overall Performance](<https://www.sota2.com/research/sota/tool-use-agent-on-hle-500.md?metric=Overall%20Performance>): Higher is better; unit: SCALAR.
