# OpenClawBench
**OpenClawBench: Benchmarking Process-side Anomalies in Real-world Agent Execution Trajectories**
(NeurIPS 2026, Evaluations & Datasets Track)
Code: https://github.com/YangzeLiu/OpenClawBench
OpenClawBench labels *process-side* anomalies in LLM agent trajectories: cases where an agent
commits to an action or a confident answer while the information it needs is missing,
ambiguous, or contradicted, whether or not the task outcome looks correct. Trajectories were
generated by six open-weight backbones running as tool-using agents on BFCL tasks. Each
trajectory carries a binary anomaly label, one of five anomaly subtypes, an onset step, and
cited evidence steps.
## Files
| File | Rows | Content |
|---|---|---|
| `data/train.jsonl` | 23,857 | Trajectories with silver labels (training pool) |
| `data/test.jsonl` | 2,646 | Trajectories with silver labels (held-out test) |
| `data/human_verified.jsonl` | 440 | Human labels for a subset of the trajectories above |
| `TAXONOMY.md` | | Anomaly definition, the five subtypes, decision rules, boundary cases |
| `SCHEMA.md` | | Field-level schema |
| `croissant.json` | | Croissant 1.0 metadata with Responsible AI fields |
```python
from datasets import load_dataset
traj = load_dataset("YangzeLiu/OpenClawBench", "trajectories") # train / test
human = load_dataset("YangzeLiu/OpenClawBench", "human_verified") # 440 human labels
```
Join `human_verified` to trajectories on (`source_model`, `trajectory_id`).
## How the labels were produced
**Silver labels.** An LLM judge (DeepSeek-V4-Pro) annotated every trajectory with a
self-contained 5-class prompt (in the code repository). Released rows are the
high-confidence subset, split 9:1 into train and test, stratified by source model.
**Human labels (`human_verified.jsonl`).** Two annotators labeled each trajectory
independently, blind to each other and to the silver labels; disagreements were resolved by
adjudication under written boundary-case rules (`TAXONOMY.md`). Labels are binary plus
subtype. Two subsets:
- `gold300`: 300 test trajectories, 50 per source model.
- `supp140`: 140 trajectories stratified by silver subtype to cover the rare subtypes
(25 silver-normal; 25 each of `capability_gap_overcommitment`, `weak_evidence_commitment`,
`write_under_unresolved_ambiguity`; 20 each of `premature_external_write`,
`error_ignored_escalation`), disjoint from `gold300`. Because of the stratification its
anomaly rate is not representative of the corpus.
## Source models
DeepSeek-R1, GLM-4.5-Air, GPT-OSS-20B, Qwen3.5-9B, Qwen3.6-27B, Qwen3.6-35B-A3B,
roughly balanced across the corpus.
## Intended use and limitations
Intended for training and evaluating trajectory-level anomaly detectors, subtype
classification, onset localization, and studying LLM-judge reliability against human labels.
- Silver labels come from a single LLM judge and contain errors; use `human_verified` for
evaluation claims.
- Only open-weight backbones on BFCL function-calling tasks, English only; behavior of
proprietary agents or open-ended tasks is not covered.
- Subtype boundaries (notably `weak_evidence_commitment` vs. `capability_gap_overcommitment`)
are inherently fuzzy; see `TAXONOMY.md`.
- Trajectories are model outputs on public benchmark prompts and contain no personal data.
API keys and access tokens appearing in trajectory text were replaced with placeholders.
