agentbench

agentbench is an evaluation framework for AI agents. It provides core abstractions for tasks, scenarios, agents, and judges, with an async runner that supports retries, rate limiting, and comprehensive reporting.

Features

• Core abstractions: Task, Scenario, AgentAdapter, Judge, and CompositeJudge
• Async execution: Built-in retry logic, fail-fast behavior, and provider-based rate limiting
• Lifecycle hooks: Setup, reset, and teardown methods for agent management
• Comprehensive reporting: HTML reports, JSONL results, traces, and metadata
• Run comparison: Compare multiple runs to identify regressions and improvements
• Presets: Ready-to-use scenarios and judges for quick evaluation

Quick start

Install in editable mode:

pip install -e .

Run a simple example using presets:

python examples/math_with_presets.py

Example

Here's a minimal example that evaluates a simple math agent:

from agentbench import (
    RunConfig,
    run,
    build_math_basic_scenario,
    ExactMatchJudge,
)


class SimpleMathAgent:
    name = "simple_math_agent"
    version = "0.0.1"
    provider_key = None

    async def setup(self) -> None:
        return None

    async def reset(self) -> None:
        return None

    async def teardown(self) -> None:
        return None

    async def run_task(self, task, context=None):
        prompt = task.input["prompt"]
        if "2 + 3" in prompt:
            response = "5"
        elif "4 * 7" in prompt:
            response = "28"
        else:
            response = "I do not know yet"
        return {"response": response}


scenario = build_math_basic_scenario()
agent = SimpleMathAgent()
judge = ExactMatchJudge()

config = RunConfig(
    name="math_example",
    agents=[agent],
    scenarios=[scenario],
    judges=[judge],
)

results = run(config)
print(f"Got {sum(1 for r in results if r.passed)} / {len(results)} passing results.")

Run artifacts

Running an evaluation creates a directory under runs/<run_id>/ with:

• results.jsonl: All evaluation results in JSONL format
• traces.jsonl: Event traces for debugging and analysis
• run_metadata.json: Run configuration, environment, and version information
• report.html: Interactive HTML report with statistics, per-agent performance, and failing tasks

Open report.html in your browser to view the detailed evaluation report.

Testing

agentbench includes a comprehensive test suite with 43+ tests covering all major components:

• Core types (Task, Cost, EvaluationResult, Trace)
• Scenarios and presets
• Judges (ExactMatchJudge, CompositeJudge)
• Runner and lifecycle hooks
• Storage and reporting functions
• Integration tests

Run tests:

# Install dev dependencies
pip install -e ".[dev]"

# Run all tests
pytest

# Generate HTML test report
pytest --html=test-results/report.html --self-contained-html

# Generate coverage report
pytest --cov=src/agentbench --cov-report=html:htmlcov

Test reports are generated in test-results/ and coverage reports in htmlcov/.

Project status

agentbench is in active development. The core framework is functional and ready for evaluation use cases.
