The authors define intent-execution correspondence, or IEC, as the requirement that an executed action match what the emitted tool call denotes under the tool's contract.
Tool-call pipelines often alter what language-model agents actually execute
By inspecting each handoff in agent execution paths, the authors identify silent command changes and show that targeted delivery mechanisms can prevent many resulting failures.

Why this paper
Independent
In one line
LLM agent harnesses frequently alter tool calls in transit, causing silent misexecution, inflated costs, and failures wrongly blamed on the model.
