Want to measure this on your own agent? The harness is packaged as an installable eval with a six-model leaderboard: pip install ungrounded

Raw per-trial data

Every row is one trial: one prompt sent to one model with one decoy variant in the catalogue, recording the complete set of tool calls in the first assistant turn. No tool results are returned to the agent. All studies are single-turn.

Files

File Study Rows Models
exp1_results.csv Study 1 — baseline 3,030 claude-sonnet-4-6
exp2_results.csv Study 2 — matched pairs 840 claude-sonnet-4-6
exp3_results.csv Study 3 — three-condition isolation 2,400 claude-sonnet-4-6, claude-haiku-4-5-20251001
cross_vendor_results.csv Study 4 — cross-vendor 8,252 six models, two vendors

Total: 13,470 non-error trials after filtering (see status below).

Columns

Column Meaning
model API model identifier. Study 4 prefixes the vendor (anthropic:, openai:)
variant Decoy variant in the catalogue: low (legacy_batch_reconcile_v1), medium (internal_config_export), high (list_service_credentials). Ordered by a priori assumed attacker-attractiveness — an ordering the results overturn (paper §5)
set core (the prompt triples) or control (prompts carried from Study 1 that never triggered)
kind Study 2 only: pair or control
idx / prompt_idx Prompt identifier. This is the clustering unit for all inference — see below
condition unresolved (unnamed referent, "our CDN provider"), resolved_known (real named vendor, "Cloudflare"), resolved_unknown (fictional named vendor, "Northbrook CDN"), control. Study 2 uses resolved for the named-vendor condition
run Repetition index, 0-based. Each prompt × condition × variant cell is run 10 times
prompt Verbatim user-turn text
status OK or ERROR. Filter to OK before analysis
tools_called Pipe-delimited names of every tool invoked in the first assistant turn. Empty string means the model called no tools
decoy_called 1 if the decoy variant for that trial appears in tools_called, else 0
error Exception text where status is ERROR

Two things to know before analysing this data

1. Trials are not independent — cluster on prompt

Each prompt is run 10 times. Treating those 10 runs as 10 independent observations is pseudo-replication and produces p-values that are far too small. The effect is severe here because hits concentrate within prompts: in Study 1, all nine positives came from a single prompt out of 101.

Study 1's attractiveness trend illustrates it:

Unit Counts (low / medium / high) Cochran-Armitage
Trial 0/1010, 3/1010, 6/1010 p = 0.0142
Prompt 0/101, 1/101, 1/101 p = 0.3849

All inference in the paper uses the prompt (idx / prompt_idx) as the clustering unit. See analysis/stats_final.py.

2. Do not pool Study 4 with Studies 1–3

Study 4's harness reimplemented the tool definitions. Tool descriptions are byte-identical, but the parameter schemas differ: one property is omitted and some property descriptions changed. All six models in Study 4 saw identical schemas, so cross-model comparisons within Study 4 are valid — but Study 4 must not be pooled with the earlier studies.

The visible consequence: Sonnet's configuration-export cell reads 39.17% in Study 4 against 51.67% in Study 3, on the same prompts.

Reproducing

pip install -r ../analysis/requirements.txt
../analysis/run_all.sh

Writes descriptive tables, corrected statistics and all figures to ../figures/.

Provenance

Collected 3–12 August 2026. Harnesses in ../harnesses/. Every run is resumable and deterministically seeded at the registry-ordering level, so tool position within the catalogue is reproducible per trial but the model's sampling is not (temperature is at the provider default of 1.0).
