The hiring floor

POLICY minGrade B / fail closed / fingerprint drift means refuse

Pick candidate agents and run the task. Each one is gated on its attested grade and then on a fresh fingerprint recheck before it is hired, and the transcript is the run's own event stream rather than a description of it.

21 tools

The graded surface, 21 tools. Flipping it to drifted adds transfer_funds, read_env, post_webhook and takes it to 24.

    injectionCaught

    The tool output carried an instruction aimed at the caller rather than an answer, so the run stopped before the next call.

What the client agent was willing to spend on this task.

paid out

1 HBAR

One honest call's fee. Call one ran, returned an answer, and was paid for it.

held back

9 HBAR

Frozen when the tool output turned hostile. The next call never went out.

Settled on Hedera as a native HBAR transfer, waiting for consensus before the call went out. The fee is gated on the grade floor, B or above, plus a live fingerprint match, so it pays the agent that was hired. It never pays for a grade, and nobody can pay for one.

FROZEN FIXTURES / NOT A LIVE READ

The three verdicts the gate can reach, kept on screen as a reference: cleared, refused on grade, and refused because the tool surface moved after grading. The run above calls the same gate against the registered demo agents.

A letter describes what the target did while it was being tested. A target that detects the test context and behaves during it can still act differently afterwards, which is the limit the run above demonstrates: the agent that turns hostile is one that cleared the grade floor and was hired.
