Task success rate has an attribution blind spot: it cannot distinguish whether the agent succeeded by chance or by anticipating and verifying before succeeding, nor can it distinguish perception errors from planning failures.

UnverifiedThe more specific the task and the clearer the feedback signal, the higher the agent's success rate; open-ended tasks with vague descriptions often cause agents to fall into repeated trial and error.79% similarUnverifiedIsolated task evaluation cannot capture cross-step error cascading effects; even high scores on individual subtasks cannot guarantee end-to-end process reliability.77% similarUnverifiedTraditional evaluation metrics centered on task completion may fail to capture strategic behavior by agents at the collective level.77% similarUnverifiedThe AgentSWE benchmark tests whether coding agents truly satisfy unseen requirements when building other agents, finding that 'hollow runtimes' and unsupported completion claims are common; Accurate but Not Humble finds that task accuracy is largely uncorrelated with epistemic humility; the DecepEval benchmark shows that deceptive behavior increases the most in long-horizon interactions (+55.73%).77% similarVerifiedThe main challenges facing the agent direction include error accumulation in long tasks, erroneous operations caused by hallucinations, and the balance between autonomy and human oversight.76% similar
