AM-Bench：跨模型与执行框架理解任务欠规范下的智能体表现

View PDF HTML (experimental)

Abstract:Ambiguous or incomplete task specifications complicate both execution and clarification for language-model agents. Yet agents' responses to these information gaps remain poorly characterized across models and execution harnesses. We present AM-Bench, a benchmark built from 48 tasks adapted from Terminal-Bench 2.0 and Harness-Bench. Each task includes a fully specified reference and six variants spanning ambiguous or missing goals, context, and constraints. We evaluate every pairing of five models and four harnesses over 20,160 runs. Our results reveal distinct execution deficits: goal gaps hinder completion, context gaps increase token use, and constraint gaps weaken compliance without necessarily preventing completion. Missingness lowers success more than ambiguity in all three domains. These effects also reshape system comparisons: advantages under complete information need not persist, and rankings depend on model $\times$ harness pairings and the evaluation criterion -- completion, success, or repeat consistency. Estimates based on observed clarification requests and matched fully specified runs further suggest that clarification could recover unfinished work while leaving most constraint violations unresolved. Together, these findings motivate joint model-harness evaluation across information conditions and targeted clarification of unresolved requirements before dependent actions. To support future research on agents under task underspecification, we provide the AM-Bench project repository at this https URL.
