LandslideAgent with Multimodal LandslideBench: A Domain-Rule-Augmented Agent for Autonomous Landslide Identification and Analysis

Intelligent landslide hazard interpretation is critical for disaster prevention, yet current paradigms struggle to simultaneously extract visual features and high-level geoscientific semantics, while general-purpose vision-language models (VLMs) suffer from perceptual limitations and domain hallucinations in complex geological scenarios. To address these challenges, we propose an instruction-driven agentic framework comprising three components. First, LandslideBench, a multimodal fine-grained dataset with seven subtype labels, high-resolution imagery, pixel-level masks, and high-quality textual descriptions, is constructed via multi-VLM cross-validation and interactive annotation. Then, LandslideVLM, a landslide-oriented VLM, is fine-tuned via LoRA on LandslideBench to enhance geological semantic understanding. Finally, LandslideAgent, a domain rule-enhanced agent taking LandslideVLM as its cognitive backbone, employs a dual-rule controller incorporating structured report metadata constraints and cross-validation identification constraints to regulate automated tool invocation. Experiments demonstrate that LandslideBench provides effective baselines across five mainstream models on fine-grained classification and semantic segmentation. LandslideVLM achieves accuracy improvements of 10.96%, 32.87%, and 15.91% on landslide discrimination, fine-grained classification, and semantic description quality, respectively. LandslideAgent further enables autonomous multi-source spatial data inference, realizing full-process intelligence for landslide identification and analysis.

RS-Claw: Progressive Active Tool Exploration via Hierarchical Skill Trees for Remote Sensing Agents

The rise of multi-modal large language models (MLLMs) is shifting remote sensing (RS) intelligence from "see" to "action", as OpenClaw-style frameworks enable agents to autonomously operate massive RS image-processing tools for complex tasks. Existing RS agents adopt a passive selection paradigm for tool invocation, relying on either full tool registration (Flat) or retrieval-augmented generation (RAG). However, in the massive and multi-source heterogeneous RS tool ecosystem, such passive mechanisms struggle to dynamically balance "context load" and "toolset completeness" throughout task reasoning, thus exhibiting inherent limitations: full tool registration triggers context space deficits during long-horizon tasks, whereas RAG retrieval may omit critical tools in essential steps. To overcome these bottlenecks, this paper redefines tool selection by arguing that the agent should act as an active explorer within the tool space. Based on this perspective, we propose RS-Claw, a novel RS agent architecture. By leveraging Skill encapsulation technology at the tool end, this architecture hierarchically structures tool descriptions, enabling the agent to execute on-demand sequential decision-making: initially selecting relevant skill branches by reading only tool summaries, then dynamically loading detailed descriptions, and ultimately achieving precise invocation. This active paradigm not only significantly liberates the agent's context space but also effectively ensures the accurate hit rate of critical tools during long-horizon reasoning. Systematic experiments on the Earth-Bench benchmark demonstrate that RS-Claw's active exploration mechanism effectively filters semantic noise and substantially frees up reasoning space, achieving an input token compression ratio of up to 86%, and comprehensively outperforming existing Flat and RAG baselines across complex reasoning evaluations.
