To address this gap, we introduce ToolVerse, a comprehensive framework that scales up agentic RL environments and enables agents to perform complex long-horizon reasoning in Tool-Integrated Reasoning (TIR) tasks. First, ToolVerse automatically builds the massive executable agent training environments from nearly 400 real-world Model Context Protocols (MCPs) that contain about 4500 tools. Second, we propose a task design strategy based on a tool dependency graph, utilizing Dynamic Unlocking Sampling Algorithm to generate long-horizon tasks, and produce GUST (Graph Unlocking Sampling Tasks) dataset. Third, to alleviate the credit assigment problem in long-horizon agentic RL, we propose a fine-grained Turn-Aware Relative Advantage algorithm. We conduct extensive Agentic RL training using ToolVerse and evaluate our framework on serveral agentic benchmarks. Experimental results demonstrate that our framework significantly strengthens LLMs' capabilities in long-horizon tool use, achieving a marked performance boost and showcasing robust reasoning within dynamic environments.
