Addendum to Paper on Detecting Agent Failures
ruslansv · x · 2026-07-09
This addendum clarifies that the method requires white-box activation access and relies on labeled calibration episodes (successes and failures). The author notes that this type of "high-recall certification" still faces significant limitations regarding sample complexity.
It has primarily been tested on TextCraft, but the original poster believes it remains one of the more practical agent monitoring papers this year, highly recommended for those interested in efficient harnesses and scalable agent systems.
