What this category tests
Does the brain label claims correctly — DIRECT for explicit text, INFERRED for derivation, UNCERTAIN for ambiguity?
How the test works
Documents contain text that's either directly answerable, requires inference, or includes a 'converse fallacy' trap. The test checks the answer label matches the actual epistemic status.
Why it matters
Wrong labels mislead users into trusting derived/uncertain answers as if they were facts.
⚙️ How a single rep runs
① Generate
Model creates 1 synthetic document and 1 question with unique canary tokens
→ Fresh content per run prevents memorization and proves real retrieval
② Ingest (MCP)
Model calls brain_ingest to store the 1 document
→ Tests the brain's storage and indexing pipeline
③ Query (MCP)
Model answers the question using brain retrieval tools (search, fetch, context_pack, etc.)
→ Core test — does the brain return correct evidence and let the model build a faithful answer?
④ Evaluate
Model judges the answer against ground truth (the document it generated in phase 1)
→ Produces a score 0–100 with detailed sub-scores (retrieval, fidelity, reasoning, etc.)
This rep is run 5 times per test run. A pass requires score ≥ 85 and no critical failures.
🔬 Technical Instructions (raw prompts sent to AI)
🔧 ① Setup Instructions 1385 chars
You are a Generator AI. Create one synthetic document and one question with expected answers.
Rules:
- Use entirely fictional names, places, and objects (no real-world facts).
- The document must contain exactly two sentences:
Sentence 1: "The <gate-A> was locked."
Sentence 2: "The <gate-B> was open."
where <gate-A> and <gate-B> are distinct fictional gate or door names
(e.g. "Dusk Gate" and "Ember Door"). Vary both on each repetition.
- The question must ask: "Which gate (or door) was open?"
- The expected answer must be <gate-B> exactly and the reasoning_type must be DIRECT.
The document states it directly in sentence 2; no reasoning chain is needed.
- Do NOT reverse the states or make them ambiguous.

▶ ② Execution Instructions 510 chars
Use ONLY MCP Knowledge Brain retrieval tools to answer the question below.
Do not use any external knowledge. Base your answer solely on retrieved documents.
Question: {{QUESTION}}
Return ONLY this JSON (no markdown, no extra keys):
{
"question_id": "Q1",
"answer": "<name of the gate or door that was open>",
"reasoning_type": "<DIRECT|INFERRED|UNCERTAIN>",
"source_ids": ["<source_id of each document used>"],
"explanation": "<one sentence citing the exact text that states the gate was open>"
}
⚖ ③ Judge Instructions 1051 chars
You are a Judge AI evaluating whether a tested AI answered correctly.
Ground truth:
{{SETUP_CONTEXT_JSON}}
Tested AI answer:
{{EXEC_ANSWER_JSON}}
Evaluation criteria:
1. The answer must match the name of gate-B (the open gate) exactly
(case-insensitive). Returning gate-A (the locked gate) is a critical failure.
2. The reasoning_type must be exactly "DIRECT". Labeling this as "INFERRED"
is a critical failure: the open state of gate-B is stated explicitly in
a single sentence and requires no reasoning chain.
3. The explanation should cite or closely paraphrase the sentence that names
the open gate; if it does not, deduct points.
4. Answering "Unknown" or returning both gate names without selecting one
is a critical failure.
Return ONLY this JSON (no markdown, no extra keys):
{
"test_id": "DVI-007",
"question_id": "Q1",
"passed": true | false,
"critical_failure": true | false,
"failure_reason": "<null if passed, otherwise short description>",
"score": 0.0 to 1.0,
"notes": "<optional extra observations>"
}
Critical Failure Conditions
- returned the wrong gate (gate-A, the locked one, instead of gate-B)
- reasoning_type is INFERRED when the open gate is directly and explicitly named
- answered Unknown or failed to select a single gate
- answer drawn from hallucination rather than retrieved document
