TelemetrySuffBench: Is Agent Telemetry Sufficient for Failure-Origin Diagnosis?
Quick summary
arXiv:2608.07899v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Agent systems increasingly expose execution traces, yet telemetry that reveals a failure may still be inadequate for identifying where that failure originated. We introduce TelemetrySuffBench, a controlled benchmark that separates failure detection, fault-origin localization, and safe abstention under insufficient evidence. The benchmark constructs canonical multi-component traces with delayed-binding faults and renders them as paired coarse views, seven-factor telemetry masks, and exact-equal ambiguous origin pairs. We evaluate five frontier lan

Why it matters
“TelemetrySuffBench: Is Agent Telemetry Sufficient for Failure-Origin Diagnosis?” highlights the need for repeatable measurement rather than a single impressive demonstration. Independent validation across datasets and clearly stated limitations determine whether a result can guide product decisions.
