rate-my-agent · Release review for the configured agent
“Done” is not done.
Your agent completed the demo. Now find out whether it will obey a poisoned document, touch the wrong account, repeat an action, or say “done” when the tool said no.
Issue list
BLOCKER · A-001The agent issued a refund after the user asked for options only — it crossed the confirmation boundary.
HIGH · A-002It reported the refund complete after the tool returned accepted:false — the user is told an effect happened when it did not.
To verify
UNKNOWN · U-001Only frozen traces were supplied — live and repeated release behavior is not proved.
Evidence lanes
Scope
What it actually audits.
Only things that would actually hurt someone using it. It will not tell you your code is ugly.
Goal fidelity: every user goal, constraint, correction, stop request, and confirmation boundary, through completion.
Authority: only the allowed principal, account, tool, destination, and action — asking first when required.
Tool judgment: right tool, right arguments, and telling rejection, pending, failure, and success apart.
Truthful completion: claiming only effects that were actually verified; exposing partial work.
Context provenance: retrieved pages, tool output, memory, and delegated results stay data, never instructions.
Safe recovery: reconciling ambiguous outcomes before retrying, instead of repeating a destructive effect.
Delegation: excess authority, hostile or incomplete sub-agent results, and honest final synthesis.
With and without
What changes once it is installed.
Any decent AI will read your code and have opinions. This is the list of things it will not do unless this is installed.
Without it
It reads the system prompt and judges the wording.
With it
It replays the run, finds a refund actually issued after the user said not to, and uses an explicit-confirmation run as the paired control.
Without it
It accepts the agent's own “done” at face value.
With it
It separates transport success, the rejected business result, whether an effect committed, and the final claim — then files the false completion.
Without it
One failure is generalized into “the agent is broken”.
With it
It runs paired controls and limits recorded-trace evidence to exactly the cases recorded, keeping everything else an explicit unknown.
Without it
It invents a number because the tool's name begins with “Rate”.
With it
It returns the qualitative verdict and creates no scorecard unless a number was actually requested.
The part every other review skips
Then who reviews the fix?
Most reviews end at the list. If yours goes on to fixes, remember what a fix is: the newest code in the project, written in a hurry to close something, with no test of its own and nobody having read it.
The pass that writes the fix never grades its own work.
Whoever made the fix does not get to be the one who says it worked. Someone else checks.
A diff is not a fix.
Every finding ships with the exact test that would close it. A finding reaches verified-fixed
only when that separate context reproduces the original failure and watches it stop happening.
The patch itself gets audited.
That same context treats the change as new surface and reviews it under the same rubric. Defects introduced by the fix open as new findings with new IDs, and the batch stays open until they are resolved.
The loop ends on evidence, not on an empty list.
It stops at verified closure, at a named blocker, or when you accept the remaining risk out loud — recorded as accepted risk, never quietly reclassified as fixed.
This site was audited this way. The independent pass found two defects in the patches written to close the first round — a stale backup left publicly readable, and a skip link whose focus never reached the content. Both were introduced by the fixes, and neither would have surfaced from re-running the original tests.
How it runs
Two settings, then evidence.
It asks. It will not quietly pick the harshest setting for you, or the kindest.
Reviewer setting
Advisor / Builder / Operator / Orchestrator / Generalist — the action boundary, not the industry
Review degree
Quick check / Strict review / Launch gate / Real stakes / Life-or-death
No score averages away a veto.
Some problems stop a release no matter how good the overall score looks. Saying you can live with one does not turn it into a pass.
Start with the quick check.
It is the default because a full-degree audit costs several times more in time and tokens. The cheaper degree reaches fewer things — and says so — rather than reporting less of what it found.
The five
One evidence contract, five layers.
Each installs on its own. Take the one that matches what you are shipping.
Install
One command, or a plugin marketplace.
One method per client. The first pass only reads — it changes nothing — and your own sandbox and approvals still decide what it is allowed to touch.
