An EMNLP paper compares retrieving tools before planning with planning needed tools before retrieval. On ToolBench, retrieval first performed better for single-tool queries, while planning first performed better for multi-tool queries. Planning first can also generate nonexistent API names, and its extra discovery call roughly doubles inference cost.
