Evaluation

Trajectory evaluation

Evaluation of the full agent run, including tool calls, risk classes, approval events, and outcomes.

Definition

Trajectory evaluation assesses the path an agent took, not only the final answer. It reviews tool sequence, state, risk classification, approval boundaries, sensor results, and final output.

Why it matters

A final answer can look correct even if the agent skipped a required control. Trajectory evaluation catches governance failures.

How HARNEXA uses it

HARNEXA uses trajectory evidence in ORACLE, CLEAR scorecards, PHANTOM proof, and AgentOps reporting.

FAQ

Questions this definition answers.

Why not evaluate only the final output?

Because governance failures often happen in the middle of the run: wrong tool, wrong risk class, missing approval, or missing audit event.

What does trajectory evidence include?

Tool calls, timestamps, state transitions, risk classes, approval events, sensor results, and run outcomes.
