AgentAbstain: leaderboard

Tool-using agents get 263 task pairs: one version they should carry out and a minimally changed version where they should stop, ask or decline (missing parameter, ambiguous request, irreversible high-stakes action, failed tool, risk found mid-run); the score is the share of pairs where both are handled right. Unlike over-refusal tests, acting is also required, so blanket refusal scores zero.

Metric: Paired accuracy (0-1, higher is better). Source: arxiv.org. Saturation forecast: Around October 2027. 17 models tracked.
