Agentic retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) systems can fail before evidence-conditioned reasoning is tested: an agent may retrieve candidate snippets but finalize without inspecting them. We study this failure mode as a procedural property of the agent trajectory, decomposing wrong answers into pre-evidence discipline failures and post-gold-read failures using saved tool-call traces, retrieved evidence, read passages, and final answers. Across 12,000 paired trajectories on HotpotQA, 2WikiMultiHopQA, and MuSiQue, the two failure types are largely non-redundant: the both-trigger rate is in [11.2%, 13.1%] across regex and spaCy entity extractors. We then evaluate Read-Gate, a minimal runtime invariant requiring an agent to read after search and before finalization. Forced reading improves LLM-Acc by 14.9-19.9 points on trajectories that would otherwise skip reading and by 3.2-9.4 points on full minimal-reasoning cells. Additional diagnostics show that larger hidden thinking budgets do not necessarily increase evidence inspection. Together, these results indicate that evidence-gathering should be evaluated as a trajectory-level control problem, separately from answer-side reasoning.
Individual-level mobility prediction is central to urban simulation, transportation planning, and policy analysis. Supervised sequence models achieve strong accuracy but require task-specific training and offer limited decision-level transparency. Recent LLM-based methods improve interpretability, yet mostly rely on static prompts and single-pass inference, limiting their ability to seek additional evidence when mobility signals are weak or conflicting. We propose \method{}, a training-free LLM-driven agent framework that formulates next-location prediction as adaptive evidence-controlled decision making. \method{} resolves routine cases through a fast path based on historical regularity, while ambiguous cases trigger iterative tool use over recent trajectories, historical behavior, stay-move likelihood, and geographical evidence. Across three mobility datasets, AgentMob achieves the strongest overall performance among training-free LLM-based methods, with GPT-5.4 reaching 71.42\% Acc@1 on BW, 33.14\% on YJMob100K, and 33.50\% on Shanghai ISP. On BW non-fast-path cases, the LLM controller improves Acc@1 from 30.65\% to 48.62\% over a same-tool statistical baseline, showing that its main benefit lies in resolving ambiguous predictions through adaptive evidence gathering.
