LongRCA Bench
LongRCA Bench contains 1,140 observed, non-injected failed agent trajectories from five task domains. Each trajectory has human annotations for the responsible role, earliest decisive root-cause step, and a trajectory-grounded rationale.
For the benchmark definition, annotation protocol, and evaluation results, see:

Dataset Composition
| Source | Instances |
|---|---|
| SWE-bench Pro | 128 |
| Terminal Bench 2 | 42 |
| TravelPlanner | 685 |
| VitaBench | 108 |
| WebArena Verified | 177 |
| Total | 1,140 |
The dataset contains 178,137 recorded history steps. The median trajectory length is 145 steps, and the maximum is 728 steps.
Data Fields
| Field | Description |
|---|---|
question_ID |
Formal source-prefixed trajectory identifier (<source>__NNN) |
history |
Complete ordered trajectory |
mistake_agent |
Reference responsible role |
mistake_step |
Reference 0-based root-cause step |
mistake_reason |
Human-written rationale; not scored |
The responsible role and root-cause step are evaluated independently. The role
must not be inferred automatically from the emitter of mistake_step.
Release IDs are numbered independently within each source and should be treated
as stable, opaque keys.
Usage
from datasets import load_dataset
dataset = load_dataset(
"CLoud5-real/longrca-bench",
split="test",
)
Source Composition
| Source benchmark | Task domain | Trajectories |
|---|---|---|
| SWE-bench Pro | Software repair | 128 |
| Terminal Bench 2 | Terminal tasks | 42 |
| TravelPlanner | Travel planning | 685 |
| VitaBench | Service-oriented tool use | 108 |
| WebArena Verified | Web interaction | 177 |
| Total | Five task domains | 1,140 |
The trajectories were generated with MiniMax-M2.5, Kimi-K2.5, and Qwen3.5-Plus under several agent organizations, including fixed-role teams, specialist group chats, sequential workflows, and planner–critic–executor workflows.
