I recently worked on a LoRA that improves tool use in LLM. Thought the approach might interest folks here. The issue I have had when trying to use some of the local LLMs with coding agents is this: Me: "Find all API endpoints with authentication in this codebase" LLM: "You should look for @app.route decorators and check if they have auth middleware..." But I often want it to search the files and show me but the LLM doesn't trigger a tool use call. To fine-tune it for tool use I combined two data sources: 1. Magpie scenarios - 5000+ diverse tasks (bug hunting, refactoring, security audits) 2. Real execution - Ran these on actual repos (FastAPI, Django, React) to get authentic tool responses This ensures the model learns both breadth (many scenarios) and depth (real tool behavior). Tools We Taught: - `read_file` - Actually read file contents - `search_files` - Regex/pattern search across codebases - `find_definition` - Locate classes/functions - `analyze_imports` - Dependency tracking - `list_directory` - Explore structure - `run_tests` - Execute test suites Improvements: - Tool calling accuracy: 12% → 80% - Correct parameters: 8% → 87% - Multi-step tasks: 3% → 78% - End-to-end completion: 5% → 80% - Tools per task: 0.2 → 3.8 The LoRA really improves on intential tool call as an example consider the query: "Find ValueError in payment module" The response proceeds as follows: 1. Calls `search_files` with pattern "ValueError" 2. Gets 4 matches across 3 files 3. Calls `read_file` on each match 4. Analyzes context 5. Reports: "Found 3 ValueError instances: payment/processor.py:47 for invalid amount, payment/validator.py:23 for unsupported currency..."
