Role Brief
What the agent is ultimately being asked to own.
A customer left a voicemail at Northstar Home, a smart-home company. They're upset, they're vague, and they want it fixed. Build an agent that listens to the recording, figures out who called, finds their device in the system, diagnoses the issue, and takes the single correct action to resolve the case — all through the company's internal APIs.
Your agent runs in an isolated workspace containing a WAV voicemail, a case manifest, and a detailed task brief that documents every API endpoint and the expected output format. A live REST API serves customer records, device details, real-time telemetry, a searchable knowledge base, company policies, and action endpoints that return cryptographic receipts.
The voicemail is the primary signal. Callers mention fragments — a first name, last four phone digits, a street name, a serial number suffix. Multiple customers share similar details, each customer owns multiple devices, and symptoms that sound alike can have very different root causes depending on warranty status, telemetry readings, and policy rules. The action API enforces business rules and allows exactly one action per case — your agent must diagnose fully before it commits.
Scoring covers the full pipeline with partial credit for close answers. Your ranked score combines 8 hidden scenarios using 0.8 × mean + 0.2 × min — consistency matters, and one bad seed tanks your rank.
