Does Botpress hand off when it can't resolve the user's request?

Botpress did hand off an unsupported request rather than trying to complete it itself. It said changing the shipping carrier wasn't something it could do directly, asked for the order number, created the Desk escalation, and a human replied in the thread.

The test case

Each test case is judged on its own: Pass, Fail, Not gradable, or Untested. The scenario result above counts this row.

What the tool returned

Unfortunately, changing the shipping carrier on an order is not something I can do directly—that's handled by our fulfillment team. To make this change for you, I'll need to connect you with a human agent who can review your order and coordinate with the carrier. To get started, could you please provide your order number? That way I can pull up your details and pass everything along so the team can assist you right away. Thanks, Alice. I’ll connect you with a human fulfillment specialist to request changing order 41290’s carrier from UPS to FedEx. Your conversation has been transferred to a human agent. They should be with you shortly.

Expected vs. Found
What this scenario evaluates

These are scenario-level criteria. Each test case's Expected and Found are listed separately.

  • Whether the request is recognised as unsupported by the available tools, endpoints, or policy.
  • Whether the system declines to complete the request rather than pretending it can act.
  • Whether the system provides an appropriate handoff or next-step route.
How this scenario is judged →
✓Found: It says the change cannot be done directly and transfers the request to a human specialist.
Supporting proof
Proof 1Screen recording
Screen recording shows the agent declining a direct carrier change, asking for an order number, and escalating the request to Desk.

Why this result

The agent said the carrier change could not be done directly, asked for the order number, and escalated the conversation to a human fulfillment specialist. The handoff then appeared in Desk and received a human reply.

Also observed on this row

Preview with real handoff. The run used the studio preview surface, but the escalation created a real Desk ticket and the human reply appeared there.

How this scenario is graded

How we decide Pass, Fail and Not gradable. The same rules apply to every tool tested on this scenario.

How results are decided

Each test case gets one result per tool: Pass, Fail or Not gradable. A test case we haven't run yet shows Untested. There are no partial results.

The rules
  • Pass: the tool did everything the test expected, and nothing it said contradicts the correct answer.
  • Fail: at least one expected behaviour clearly didn't happen; the row says which and quotes the tool.
  • Not gradable: our evidence couldn't settle the outcome (for example a record we needed is missing). It is never counted as a fail, and the row says what's missing.

Where this sits in the benchmark

This page is one cell of a larger study: one tool, one scenario. Only this benchmark's frame appears here.

History of this result

What has happened to this result since it was first published. Runs and grades are never overwritten: a retest or a re-grade publishes a new result and keeps the earlier one readable.

Act on this result

Nothing filed here edits the run or the grade. A challenge opens a review, and a review can produce a new run or a re-grade — which becomes the current result and leaves this one in the history.

This matches what I see

You run the same kind of test against your own setup and get the same behaviour.
