Abstract

Medical workflows often require multiple interdependent analyses, but existing specialist and generalist AI models are not designed to coordinate them. We introduce MMedAgent-Plus, a multimodal medical tool-use agent that combines a vision-language planner with 18 leading specialist models spanning 12 tasks and 8 modalities. Through a unified tool interface, the planner selects specialists, executes them in sequence, and synthesizes responses grounded in their outputs. The planner is instruction-tuned on 208,928 samples from 32 public medical benchmarks, covering single- and multi-tool interactions across single and multiple rounds. We separately evaluate tool orchestration, response synthesis, and end-to-end execution on held-out samples. MMedAgent-Plus achieves tool-call accuracies of 91.0%, 98.1%, and 80.7% in single-tool multi-round, multi-tool multi-round, and multi-tool single-round settings, respectively. Given correct tool outputs, MMedAgent-Plus achieves scores of 14.4-14.8 out of 15 for faithfulness, completeness, and conciseness across 600 evaluation samples. In end-to-end execution without pre-supplied tool outputs, MMedAgent-Plus correctly invokes the required specialist in 90.6% of 350 evaluation cases spanning seven tasks. Its final-answer accuracy reaches 0.98, matching the dedicated leading specialist and exceeding the strongest baseline (0.28).
