PASS
| Check | Detail | |
|---|---|---|
| ✅ | Measures: behavior Check Unique ID: tool_arguments_contain | Tool 'web_fetch' called with matching arguments Checks: tool_name=web_fetch; url=wnba.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 directly on the exact URL the user named, https://www.wnba.com/standings, before producing any answer (E0002). No blocker preceded the call, and the deterministic check confirms the wnba.com argument and a successful call. |
| ✅ | Measures: capability Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:obtain_relevant_current_evidence | The fetch completed with status_code 200 and success true, returning the 2026 regular-season standings table for all 15 teams with W, L, PCT, GB, conference, home, road, streak and L-10 columns, plus the official tiebreak procedure (E0004). The page title and copyright confirm the 2026 season, matching the requested current time window around the 2026-09-11 execution date. Evidence: E0004 |
| ✅ | Measures: outcome Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:answer_from_retrieved_evidence | Every team, record, and games-back figure in the delivered table reproduces the fetched standings exactly (MIN 31-9, GSV 29-11 GB 2, LVA 27-13 GB 4, ATL/IND 26-14 GB 5, NYL/WAS/DAL 24-16 GB 7), and the seeding order matches the page's 1-15 ranking (E0004, E0009). The clinch/elimination conclusion is arithmetically sound from the retrieved data: 9th-place Portland at 16-24 trails 8th-place Dallas at 24-16 by 8 games with 4 to play, and Hark explained that reasoning in its draft (E0005). The tiebreaker order stated matches the site's published procedure. The 44-game season length underlying 'four games remaining' is not printed on the fetched page, but it is not contradicted by the evidence and all teams having played exactly 40 games is consistent with the retrieved records; this is a sourcing gap rather than an inconsistency with retrieved evidence. |
| ✅ | Measures: outcome Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:identify_sources | Hark attributed the answer to WNBA.com standings and included the inspectable link https://www.wnba.com/standings, which is the same URL returned by the successful fetch result (E0004). The link was preserved in the delivered output as a standalone message (E0008). No URL was invented. |
| ✅ | Measures: behavior Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:disclose_evidence_limits | The retrieved page publishes the tiebreak procedure but no head-to-head records or tiebreaker holders, so the requested 'tiebreaker status' was only partly covered. Hark stated this gap explicitly in its composed message: 'The site doesn't publish who currently holds each tiebreaker, so the three-way at 24-16 stays unresolved until the final weekend' (E0005). The delivered text compressed this to 'The 24-16 tie at 6-8 will shake out on the final weekend' (E0010), which still avoids asserting any tiebreaker holder; the compression was performed by the delivery layer, which explicitly forbade a supplemental send (E0006). Judging Hark's decision, the specific gap was stated and no uncertain projection was presented as settled tiebreaker fact. |
| ✅ | llm_judge:terminal | Hark fetched the user-named URL, received a successful 200 result containing the full 2026 standings table and the league tiebreak procedure (E0004), and delivered a final substantive answer with the playoff picture, seeding races, tiebreaker order, and games remaining (E0005-E0010). The send_message result confirms delivery as final and states nothing else is open (E0006). The requested informational output is complete. |
