We haven’t benchmarked our steering for scaffolding function-calling in an agent loop yet (and the model we are using is just a base model), so I can’t give a quantitative claim. But concept-based steering should be a good fit for keeping the agent on task and enforcing behavioral guardrails around tool use.

In practice, you can treat concepts as soft/hard constraints to bias the agent toward: (1) calling tools only when needed, (2) selecting the right tool/function, or (3) using the correct argument schema.
