Abstract: Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting has become a key strategy for enhancing the inferential abilities of large language models (LLMs) in reasoning tasks. However, it often struggles with ensuring reasoning validity and maintaining informativeness. This paper presents the Logic Agent (LA), a novel framework designed to boost the validity of reasoning in LLMs through strategic logic function calls. Distinct from traditional methods, LA converts LLMs into dynamic agents that apply propositional logic rules, transforming natural language inputs into structured logical forms. The agent utilizes a robust suite of predefined functions to guide the reasoning process effectively. This approach can enhance the structured and coherent generation of reasoning outputs, improving their interpretability and logical consistency. Through detailed experiments, we showcase LA's ability to adapt across different LLM sizes, significantly enhancing the accuracy of complex reasoning tasks across various domains.
