摘要 An effective large language model (LLM) tutor must often decline to give an answer it could easily produce. In a randomized study, students who used an unguarded chatbot scored higher while practicing but lower on a later test taken without it, whereas a Socratically guarded version of the same model kept the practice gain and removed the later loss [4]. Reliable answer-withholding is therefore central to a tutor's value, yet a capable model pressed by a frustrated student does not withhold reliably on a prompt alone. We report a deployed tutoring system that enforces answer-withholding as a per-turn, machine-checkable contract, and a method for tuning that withholding against evidence. A non-LLM policy core, reading only trusted learner state, sets a per-turn ceiling on an eight-rung help ladder; a deterministic detector strips solution code; and a separate LLM judge checks each risky reply against the contract. We tune the behavior with an automated evaluation that uses no human subjects: scripted student personas are driven through the live pipeline and re-scored by a stronger model, and we record each rejection's stated reason so failures are fixed by cause. Doing so revealed an interpretable "over-help ladder," from blatant solution leaks, to naming the exact bug, to over-citing general facts, with each fix exposing the next. The tutor reached full compliance on all four acceptance criteria. We offer the measure, diagnose, and fix loop as a reusable recipe for any LLM agent that must refuse a capability it has.

摘要 Time-of-flight secondary ion mass spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) is widely used for local chemical investigations across a broad range of materials and systems. However, its operation is expensive in expert time: a trained researcher must supervise acquisition throughout, dynamically tuning parameters throughout the experiment, often across a campaign spanning multiple days. Here, we present PACE-SIMS, an agentic workflow which runs a SIMS study as a human-AI collaboration. Here, the researcher specifies the scientific questions and quality requirements, and an AI agent builds the plan and, after approval, executes it autonomously, pausing at checkpoints to judge each measurement and to correct, retry, or escalate. To validate the approach, we applied it to a study of chemical composition in 18O-enriched WOx films. During this blind randomized, two-polarity study (8.1 hours, 35 measurements) the agent made three unscripted corrections a fixed script would have missed, and all four predictions held against the sealed ground truth. The same run returned transferable measurement science, including a composition calibration, a 5.3% isotope-reading offset between the two ion polarities, and the deposition's tracer-delivery mechanism, from less than two hours of researcher attention. The developed agentic architecture is not specific to SIMS and can be applied to other analytical techniques, with primary target being the destructive measurements for which optimization methods are poorly applicable.
