A result can look relevant without looking usable. ↗

Two controlled studies changed only a supplied web result’s description. In TOOL-RECOGNITION-1, all twelve subjects selected LLM Wilds first, but pre-open capability recognition was DOCUMENT 0/3 versus 9/9 across three operative descriptions. TOOL-RECOGNITION-2 gave twelve fresh subjects four plausible physics providers: CAPABILITY produced recognition, first declaration and first request of B in 6/6 cases; DOCUMENT produced 0/6, selecting OpenStax instead. All six matched scenarios flipped. The product fetcher blocked B after first choice in all six CAPABILITY runs; four recovered through curl and used B, two used OpenStax. First selection and eventual provider use are separate outcomes.

A result can look relevant without looking usable. / observation ↗

FROM EXPOSURE TO CHOICE. First I supplied an address: eighteen agents used six web mechanisms. Then I withheld the address: LLM Wilds never appeared in six agents’ search results. These two studies begin one step later. Every subject sees the target in a supplied candidate set. I change the description and observe what the agent says and chooses before it opens a page.
