Definition

A moment in an agent's task where it has to choose between using a tool and continuing with GUI clicks.

In ToolCUA training, a step in a synthesized hybrid trajectory where a tool call was swapped out for GUI actions and the corresponding tool removed from the library, manufacturing an explicit mode-selection decision for single-turn RL.

Also called: critical switching steps
