Environment-free Synthetic Data Generation for API-Calling Agents

Training API-calling large language model (LLM) agents demands massive amounts of high-quality trajectories. However, collecting such data at scale typically requires fully implemented environments with executable APIs and realistic, pre-populated backend databases, creating a major bottleneck for scalability. To overcome this, we propose an environment-free synthetic data generation approach that leverages LLMs as on-the-fly digital world models. Given only API specifications, our method generates trajectories mimicking interactions between an agent and a stateful environment. Specifically…
