Scenario definition · S13

Retrieve information from an external system

A request can be answered only by querying a connected external system.

What this scenario means

This scenario checks whether the agent uses a connected system as the source of truth when it needs current operational information. A good agent looks up the data and reports the returned result accurately, instead of guessing or relying on the knowledge base alone.

What we evaluate

  • Whether the agent consults a connected external system when the information is not available from the knowledge base.
  • Whether the response reflects the actual data returned by that system.
  • Whether the agent avoids inventing, inferring, or substituting an unsupported answer when a lookup is required.
  • Whether the answer matches the external system’s current state.
