|---|---|---|
| ❌ | llm_judge:behavior:B1 | Hark fragmented one answer into a full final response plus four follow-on messages that substantially repeated the same race summaries and tiebreaker caveat instead of providing one consolidated response. The repeated fragments add avoidable reading burden after the complete answer was already sent. No registered failure mode addresses fragmentation of answer content; fragment_related_intake applies specifically to splitting independent user-intake questions. |
| ✅ | Measures: behavior Check Unique ID: tool_arguments_contain | Tool 'web_fetch' called with matching arguments Checks: tool_name=web_fetch; url=mlb.com; dimension=behavior |
| ✅ | Measures: capability Check Unique ID: tool_call_succeeded | web_fetch completed on call 1 Checks: tool_name=web_fetch; dimension=capability |
| ✅ | Measures: behavior Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:retrieve_current_public_evidence | web_fetch was available and Hark called it on exactly the named site (https://www.mlb.com/standings) as its first action, before producing any answer. The deterministic checks confirm the URL argument contained mlb.com and that the call succeeded. No model-memory-only or substitute-site answer was given. |
| ✅ | Measures: capability Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:obtain_relevant_current_evidence | The fetch completed (status_code 200, success true) and returned the 2026 regular-season standings for all six divisions with W, L, PCT, GB, WCGB, E#, L10, STRK and a 'Last updated: Sep 11th 5:09 PM ET' stamp — directly relevant to the requested subject and matching the 2026-09-11 execution date. Evidence: E0004 |
| ✅ | Measures: outcome Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:answer_from_retrieved_evidence | Every central claim checks out against the retrieved table. Division gaps: AL Central WSX 75-71 vs CLE 74-73 at 1.5, AL West HOU 75-72 vs TEX 72-75 at 3.0, AL East TB 87-59 vs NYY 84-62 at 3.0, NL East ATL 86-61 vs PHI 82-65 at 4.0, NL Central MIL 91-56 vs CHC 82-66 at 9.5, NL West LAD 89-57 vs SD 78-68 at 11.0 — all match. Wild-card framing matches the WCGB column: AL NYY +10.5, BOS +6.0, CLE holding the third spot with TOR 1.0, TEX 2.0, BAL 3.0, MIN 4.5, SEA 5.0; NL PHI +3.5, CHC +3.0, SD holding with AZ 0.5 back, PIT 5.0, MIA/STL 6.5. Games remaining are correctly derived and the method was stated explicitly ('162 minus games played'): TB/NYY/CWS/LAD/SD 16, CLE/HOU/TEX/ATL/PHI/MIL/AZ/TOR 15, CHC 14 — each equals 162 minus (W+L). The tiebreaker element was addressed to the limit of the evidence rather than fabricated. |
| ✅ | Measures: outcome Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:identify_sources | The delivered answer names MLB.com standings, links the exact URL that was fetched (https://www.mlb.com/standings), and cites the page's own freshness stamp ('last updated Sep 11, 5:09 PM ET'). No URL outside the retrieval evidence was invented. |
| ✅ | Measures: behavior Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:disclose_evidence_limits | Applicable because the retrieved page does not cover the full requested scope — head-to-head records needed for MLB tiebreaker order are absent from the standings table. Hark stated the specific gap ('MLB breaks ties by head-to-head record, and the standings page doesn't publish head-to-head, so the order above reflects current record only, not who would win a tie') and repeated it in the closing message, avoiding presenting record order as settled tiebreaker order. |
| ✅ | llm_judge:terminal | Hark fetched the user-named URL, received a successful 200 result containing the full Sep 11, 2026 standings table, and delivered a substantive final answer (send_message final:true at E0005 plus the rendered messages E0006-E0009) covering the closest division races, both wild-card races, games remaining, and an explicit note on tiebreaker limitations. No blocker, no pending user input, and no irreversible action remained. |

"message": "From [MLB.com standings](https://www.mlb.com/standings), last updated Sep 11, 5:09 PM ET. Games remaining = 162 minus games played.\n\n**Tightest division races**\n\n| Division | Leader | Chaser | GB | Games left |\n|---|---|---|---|---|\n| AL Central | White Sox 75-71 | Guardians 74-73 | 1.5 | CWS 16, CLE 15 |\n| AL West | Astros 75-72 | Rangers 72-75 | 3.0 | HOU 15, TEX 15 |\n| AL East | Rays 87-59 | Yankees 84-62 | 3.0 | TB 16, NYY 16 |\n| NL East | Braves 86-61 | Phillies 82-65 | 4.0 | ATL 15, PHI 15 |\n| NL Central | Brewers 91-56 | Cubs 82-66 | 9.5 | MIL 15, CHC 14 |\n| NL West | Dodgers 89-57 | Padres 78-68 | 11.0 | LAD 16, SD 16 |\n\n**AL wild card**: Yankees (+10.5) and Red Sox (+6.0) are comfortable. The third spot is the race: Guardians hold it, Blue Jays 1.0 back (73-74), Rangers 2.0, Orioles 3.0, Twins 4.5, Mariners 5.0. Cleveland has 15 left, Toronto 15, Texas 15.\n\n**NL wild card**: Phillies (+3.5) and Cubs (+3.0) hold the top two. Padres 78-68 hold the third spot with Arizona 78-69 just 0.5 back, the closest race in baseball right now. Pirates are 5.0 back, Marlins and Cardinals 6.5. SD 16 games left, AZ 15.\n\nOne caveat: MLB breaks ties by head-to-head record, and the standings page doesn't publish head-to-head, so the order above reflects current record only, not who would win a tie. I can pull head-to-head records for SD/AZ and CLE/TOR if you want the actual tiebreaker picture."
