🤖 AI Summary
Existing agricultural agent systems are constrained by a unified execution paradigm, struggling to balance adaptability and robustness when handling multimodal, multi-step tasks under conditions of high task complexity heterogeneity and incomplete tooling. This work proposes AgriAgent, a two-tier hierarchical architecture wherein simple tasks are directly handled by modality-specific agents, while complex tasks are managed through a contract-driven planning mechanism that translates task specifications into capability requirements. This enables capability-aware tool orchestration and dynamic generation, supporting verifiable and recoverable multi-step execution. Experimental results demonstrate that AgriAgent significantly outperforms existing tool-centric baselines on complex agricultural tasks, achieving markedly higher execution success rates and fault tolerance.

📝 Abstract
Intelligent agent systems in real-world agricultural scenarios must handle diverse tasks under multimodal inputs, ranging from lightweight information understanding to complex multi-step execution. However, most existing approaches rely on a unified execution paradigm, which struggles to accommodate large variations in task complexity and incomplete tool availability commonly observed in agricultural environments. To address this challenge, we propose AgriAgent, a two-level agent framework for real-world agriculture. AgriAgent adopts a hierarchical execution strategy based on task complexity: simple tasks are handled through direct reasoning by modality-specific agents, while complex tasks trigger a contract-driven planning mechanism that formulates tasks as capability requirements and performs capability-aware tool orchestration and dynamic tool generation, enabling multi-step and verifiable execution with failure recovery. Experimental results show that AgriAgent achieves higher execution success rates and robustness on complex tasks compared to existing tool-centric agent baselines that rely on unified execution paradigms. All code, data will be released at after our work be accepted to promote reproducible research.
