AgentForge-MultiTurn-ToolCall-5k

A commercial-grade, synthetic, multi-turn agentic tool-calling dataset for supervised fine-tuning (SFT) of LLMs on agent trajectories. 5,000 conversations, 18,481 tool calls, 30.5 % include genuine error-recovery branches — the capability most under-represented in existing open datasets.

Why this dataset exists

Most open tool-calling corpora (xLAM, Gorilla, ToolBench, Hermes-Function-Calling) are dominated by single-turn, success-only traces. Real agents fail. They get HTTP 500s, schema mismatches, sold-out inventory, conflicting calendar invites, expired coupons. A model fine-tuned only on happy-path traces will hallucinate recoveries instead of executing them.

AgentForge closes that gap:

Property	AgentForge	Typical open alternatives
Multi-turn trajectories	100 %	20–40 %
Error-recovery traces	30.5 %	< 5 %
Tool schemas included in every example	Yes (OpenAI function-calling format)	Sometimes
Reasoning before every tool call	Yes	Inconsistent
Domain diversity	8 domains	1–3 domains
License	Apache-2.0	Mixed, often restrictive

Dataset structure

from datasets import load_dataset
ds = load_dataset("YOUR_USERNAME/agentforge-multiturn-toolcall", token="hf_...")

Each of the 5,000 records has the following fields:

field	type	description
id	string	Unique example id, e.g. af_00001.
domain	string	One of finance, travel, ecommerce, devops, crm, calendar, email, database.
language	string	Always en in this release.
difficulty	string	easy, medium, or hard. hard ⇔ the trace includes a recovery branch.
includes_recovery	bool	Whether the trajectory includes a tool failure that the assistant recovers from.
num_turns	int	Total messages in the conversation (system + user + assistant + tool).
num_tool_calls	int	Total tool invocations in the conversation.
tools	list[dict]	OpenAI-compatible function schemas available to the assistant. (Stored as a JSON string in parquet; use json.loads to deserialize.)
conversations	list[dict]	ShareGPT-style messages: role ∈ {system, user, assistant, tool}; assistant messages may carry a tool_calls array.

Aggregate statistics

• Total tool calls: 18,481
• Average turns per conversation: 10.4
• Average tool calls per conversation: 3.7
• With error-recovery branch: 1,523 (30.5 %)
• Without (happy path): 3,477 (69.5 %)
• Difficulty: easy 1,731 · medium 1,746 · hard 1,523

Intended use

1. Supervised fine-tuning (SFT) of small-to-mid LLMs (1B–14B parameters) to learn:
   • when to call a tool vs. answer from parametric knowledge,
   • how to format OpenAI-style tool calls,
   • how to interpret tool responses,
   • how to recover from tool failures (the headline differentiator),
   • how to chain multiple tools across turns to reach a goal.
2. Evaluation of agentic capability — slice the dataset by difficulty, domain, or includes_recovery.
3. Curriculum learning — start with easy (no recovery, single domain), progressively mix in medium and hard.

Out of scope

• This dataset is synthetic. Tool responses are simulated, not real API calls.
• It does not contain PII, real customer data, or copyrighted material.
• It is not a preference dataset. For DPO/IPO, use it to generate preference pairs via rejection sampling.

Provenance & generation

• Generation method: deterministic Python generator with fixed random seed (20260629).
• Tool schemas: hand-authored OpenAI function-calling JSON schemas, original work.
• Conversation content: synthetic; no scraping of any external website, document, or API.
• Languages: English only in this release. Multilingual extensions are planned.
