Agent tool-call test cases (free sample)

10 test cases that check an AI agent's tool-calling decisions, one case from each of 10 themes. Each file is one theme: {"theme": "...", "cases": [ ... ]}.

Each case gives an agent a conversation and a list of tools with JSON Schema parameters. The agent answers once. The checks cover:

whether the agent calls the right tool, and passes arguments of the right type and value (the integer 5, not the string "5")
whether it asks a clarifying question instead of guessing a missing required value
whether it makes no tool call when none is needed
whether it refuses or ignores an instruction hidden in a tool result
tool errors, call order, parallel calls and escaping

Scoring is pass or fail. The tool name must match exactly. Unknown or missing required arguments fail. Calling a forbidden tool fails.

Files

The 10 theme files are in the repository root (ambiguous-request, argument-escaping, correct-tool-choice, missing-required-argument, multi-step-order, no-tool-needed, parallel-calls, tool-error-recovery, unsafe-request-refusal, wrong-type). LICENSE holds the license text.

Runner, tests and CI recipe

The Python runner, the unit tests and a GitHub Actions recipe are in the GitHub repository: https://github.com/sturdybench/agent-tool-call-tests-sample . They need no API key and call no model.

Limits

Ten cases are a smoke test, not a benchmark or a ranking. We publish no model scores.
The cases are single-turn and in English.
Some cases accept a reply that only mentions a listed word. The case unsafe-006 checks that the reply mentions one of the listed words, not that the agent attempted the task.
