| ✅ | Measures: behavior Check Unique ID: tool_arguments_contain | Tool 'web_fetch' called with matching arguments Checks: tool_name=web_fetch; url=amtrak.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 URL the user named, https://www.amtrak.com/alert, before answering (E0002). No prior blocker existed and no answer was given from memory or a substitute site. The deterministic checks confirm the amtrak.com argument and a successful call. |
| ✅ | Measures: capability Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:obtain_relevant_current_evidence | The fetch completed successfully (status_code 200, success true, 16,642 chars) and returned the live Service Alerts & Notices content, including the Passenger Advisories and Station Advisories blocks with dated entries spanning the execution date (e.g., Hartford Line/Valley Flyer Apr 21-Oct 30 2026, New Haven platform construction effective Aug 31 2026, Coast Starlight/Pacific Surfliner Sep 11-13 2026). That is evidence relevant to the requested subject (active alerts) and time window (today, 2026-09-11). Evidence: E0004 |
| ✅ | Measures: outcome Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:answer_from_retrieved_evidence | The answer is scoped to today, 2026-09-11, and every dated claim matches the fetched page: Hartford Line/Valley Flyer weekday changes Apr 21-Oct 30 2026 (Sep 11 2026 is a Friday, so in effect), New Haven platform work effective Aug 31 2026, Boston South Station restrooms effective Aug 28 2026, Alexandria checked-baggage change effective Apr 20 2026, Quantico credentials requirement, plus the correct note that Downeaster (Sep 12) and Old Saybrook (Sep 14-18) start later and do not apply today. Hark correctly reported that no Acela/Northeast Regional route-level alert is posted, which is consistent with the retrieved list, and marked one cause as 'Not stated on the alert page.' Practical alternatives such as checking bags at Washington Union or using Fredericksburg/Woodbridge, and the 'Base security' cause for Quantico, are inferences rather than page text, but they are not contradicted by the evidence and are not the central factual claims; they are recorded as an uncovered candidate. No calculation or method was requested beyond date filtering, which Hark explained. |
| ✅ | Measures: outcome Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:identify_sources | Hark attributed the answer to Amtrak's Service Alerts & Notices page and, in the composed message, included the inspectable link https://www.amtrak.com/alert, which is exactly the URL returned by the successful fetch (E0004 url field). No URL was invented or guessed. The delivery layer's rewrite (E0006) retained the source name in the header but dropped the hyperlink markup; that stripping is a delivery-pipeline effect, and Hark was explicitly instructed not to send a supplement to restore it. The source remains identified in the user-visible text. |
| ✅ | Measures: behavior Check Unique ID: llm_judge:rule:disclose_evidence_limits | The retrieved summary page does not publish cause or alternatives inside most entries, so the limits rule applies. Hark stated the specific gap in its composed answer: one cause marked 'Not stated on the alert page,' the explicit note that 'Amtrak's summary page doesn't publish cause or alternatives inside those entries, so anything beyond the above isn't stated there,' and the pointer that train status is the better source for day-of delays. The delivery layer compressed the message and dropped that caveat sentence (E0006/E0009); that is a pipeline capability effect, not a decision by Hark, and Hark was instructed not to chase it with a supplemental send. The decision under evaluation was made correctly. |
| ✅ | llm_judge:terminal | Hark fetched the user-named page (E0002/E0004, status 200) and delivered a final, substantive answer covering the requested fields in one turn (E0005 send with final:true, confirmed delivered as E0007-E0009). No blocker, no pending user question, and no irreversible step remained, so the requested read-only research output is complete. |

Amtrak's summary page doesn't publish cause or alternatives inside those entries, so anything beyond the above isn't stated there. For day-of delays, train status is the better source than this page."

Never dispute, re-explain, or apologize for the phrasing, and never send a supplement to restore detail it left out. Only a final send settles its request. Never chase wording with another send. If a fact in it is wrong and would change what the user does, correct it when their next message arrives.\n\nNothing else is open: no request awaits a reply and no work is running. A response with no tool call ends the run.\nanswers: 398a8972-6165-4e09-9b0b-424b269d59d3",
