Prompting, Evaluation and Iteration
Test what Botie did, not only what he said
Botie asks for approval after already creating the job
The technician asked about an inspection. Botie’s response can sound right while his tool calls do something the case forbids. The evaluator must inspect both.

A shift includes restraint, a wrong label and a hidden write
This check uses the pieces from “Require the outcome and the permitted route”.

Use a number, text, or an array matching the requested result. For a matrix, put each row in brackets. Saving your prediction runs your current construction on these inputs and checks the earlier examples too.
Build a construction in the workspace above first. This case will test those pieces.
Which failures can a tool-name allowlist detect, and which still require inspecting arguments, order or the resulting state?
Evaluate a task’s outcome and actions together. Be explicit about the part of correctness each deterministic check leaves untested.
These deterministic label and name checks do not assess answer semantics, tool arguments, execution order or actual side effects.
