Abstract
We propose a reinforcement learning framework for agentic visual question answering (VQA) under context under-specification, enabling agents to decide when to clarify missing information versus directly answer.

We introduce a reinforcement learning framework for agentic VQA that explicitly models whether an agent should ask for clarification or answer directly when faced with underspecified visual and textual context.
