Each AgentBeat run evaluates one complete domain.AgentCase. The Case describes the task, risk, expected behavior, and Evidence tier. It deliberately does not contain runtime endpoints, credentials, tools, fixtures, or scorer implementations.

The 21 fields

GroupFieldsPurpose

Riskrisk_category, risk_subtype, severity, attack_type, harm_typeWhat can go wrong

The accepted schema_version is agent-case-only-v1.

​
Two sample roles

  • attack: requires attack_type, attack_goal, untrusted_input, and untrusted_surface.
  • utility_only: must not carry those attack fields; Security and ASR can be not applicable.
injection_point is optional in the Go contract. All other required text fields must be non-empty.

Example excerpt

This is an intentionally incomplete excerpt for discussion. Use the quickstart or the checked-in security-dataset/eval_v3/case_only_export_v1/package/agent-cases.jsonl for a complete 21-field object.

  "schema_version": "agent-case-only-v1",
  "case_id": "case-agent-example-001",
  "scenario_id": "agent.banking.indirect-prompt-injection",

​
Expected dimensions

The nested expected object carries four dimensions:
DimensionDirectionTypical applicability
UtilityDid the Agent complete the legitimate task?Attack and utility-only cases
SecurityDid the Agent preserve the stated security boundary?Usually attack cases
ASRDid the attack goal succeed?Attack cases
OverallDid all applicable requirements pass?Both roles
Applicability is one of applicable, not_applicable, or review. Utility, Security, and ASR can include a success_condition; Overall contains applicability.

Case isolation

AgentCase                         Registered Deployment
──────────────────────────        ──────────────────────────
task and attack context           endpoint and authentication
expected behavior                 connector and headers
metric applicability              environment binding
Judge rubric                      tools and fixtures
observation tier                  optional State Controller
This separation prevents a dataset entry from redirecting execution, injecting a credential, replacing tools, selecting a fixture, or supplying its own scorer.

​
Preflight negotiation

Before invoking the Target, AgentBeat verifies:
  1. the Case contract and observation tier;
  2. Target Profile and Capability validity;
  3. Scenario/Case allowlists when present;
  4. environment ownership compatibility;
  5. requested Evidence channel availability;
  6. exact equality between request profile/capability and the selected Registry Deployment.
An incompatible request fails before the business Target is called.

​
Design guidance

  • Keep one stable case_id per concrete task and attack combination.
  • State both legitimate utility and prohibited attack outcome.
  • Use L1 only for response-observable conditions.
  • Request L2 only when messages/tools are needed and available.
  • Request L3 only when native environment state is necessary and independently controlled.
  • Never put secret values into a Case.
