Look Ma, we made it again! 🎉 I have a new peer reviewed paper on @arxiv: Tool Recommendation for Multi-Step Agents: Finding Every Tool a Task Needs Written with the @TryArcade crew: @SamPartee, River Stevens, and Valerie Fanelle. We started out trying to figure out “how do we give agents the whole ~8k tool catalog without the context window or the bill exploding.” Ended up with a real deployed system with some pretty nice numbers: • First recommendation covered every required tool in 93% of Codex sessions • 57% better top-10 coverage than BM25 on ToolRet • Cut input tokens 17–40% and the bill by up to 40% vs a fixed list of 100 tools (no drop in task completion) Link to full paper in the comments

@SamPartee , River Stevens, @ptdamiba, and Valerie Fanelle put the research behind Arcade.dev’s Tool Recommendation on arXiv. These are the details behind all the token cost reduction and ToolRet scoring. For the nerds: arxiv.org/abs/2610.23707

This week in Chicago, Arcade.dev CTO @SamPartee and Sabry Loganathan of @onepeloton talked through governing enterprise agents in production, from identity models and multi-user policies to the lessons they wish they'd known before scaling past the pilot. We're hoping to get them on a stage together again soon.

Thanks to @VentureBeat for the exclusive on Tool Recommendation’s launch. @carlfranzen nailed the problem it solves: “Connecting an agent to more business systems also makes its instructions larger and more expensive.” venturebeat.com/orchestratio…

We're "already fixing that." @VentureBeat covered five startups building infrastructure for enterprise agents. Our CTO @SamPartee on the three snags agents hit authorization, governance, and reliability and why acting on behalf of real users takes a different security architecture: venturebeat.com/orchestratio…

Agent identity was always the goal for @SmitheryDotAI. We talked about it in our blog posts about building "Google for a new internet", the new internet being one in which tool calls outpace human clicks. With @TryArcade being deployed at multiple F100s including big six megabanks (and raising a $60m series A!), they've found the clearest path to enterprise value in the same space. Thrilled to be joining such a capable team to bring the Smithery developer experience to the enterprise, and the enterprise-grade robustness and security to the Smithery platform :)
Replying to @SmitheryDotAI
@SmitheryDotAI, the leading public registry and hosting platform for MCP, is now part of Arcade.dev. Smithery made finding and running an MCP server take one click. Pairing that developer experience with the security, reliability, and governance that Arcade is known for, gives enterprises both to lead the next generation of agentic AI. Smithery co-founder @kamathematic is joining us to keep building it. More from @TheMostlyGreat: arcade.dev/blog/smithery-joi…

July 28 is the largest MCP spec update to date. We’ve covered stateless and auth. Next up: extensions. Notice that no client is obligated to support any extension and authors can ship breaking changes on their own cadence. A tool that works in Claude might not work in Cursor.

We just open-sourced Agent Library, a local-first memory layer for AI agents built by @SamPartee. Your agent's memory should be something you can hold in your hand. A file you own, diff, and roll back. More on the blog: arcade.dev/blog/agent-librar…

Day 8: @tryarcade - AI needs context and security. Arcade provides both. Securely connect your AI to MCPs, APIs, data, and more. Even though @shubcodes didn’t explicitly offer, if you sign up and pay, he’ll send you a nice card (see below)!

Holy sh*t… nobody’s talking about XML prompting?? The cheat code to unlock premium-tier outputs from GPT‑5, Claude, and Gemini. The secret code used by LLM companies in their system prompts is XML. <good-examples> .. </good-examples> <bad-examples> .. <bad-examples>

Successfully integrated the Google SendMail tool from @TryArcade into an IT Agent built with @mastra. The agent can now reset admin user passwords, generate secure passwords based on specified requirements, and send confirmation emails seamlessly.

"Agents can now take actions on behalf of users" Read that again. Not just retrieve data. Not just chat about it. Actually DO things. This demo will blow your mind 🤯

Your AI agent just approved a GitHub PR from Slack. No switching apps. No context switching. No friction. Watch Archer in action: - Find urgent PR needing approval - Summarize the diff - Approve it on your behalf - Resume your Spotify playback All without leaving Slack. Check out the repo below. ⬇️
