Building a verification MCP: why pass/fail scores aren't enough for agent debugging
Practical_Green5775 · reddit · 2026-10-13
A developer building a verification MCP is polling the community on which checks to prioritize: whether the agent actually completed the task, factual/domain errors in output, checking against independent references, and inspectability of why a result was flagged.
They emphasize the last point — evaluation interfaces that return a score without evidence don't help developers identify what actually failed. They also ask whether devs prefer structured JSON results, readable reports, or both.
