Can BlazeSQL handle questions the connected data cannot answer?

BlazeSQL said it could not answer from the available data when asked how many 5-star reviews were received this month. It listed ten available tables, gave no number, and pointed to adding review data or using a related source instead. The key finding is that it declined rather than inventing a count.

Every test case in this scenario has a result.

The test case

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

Topic the database does not holdPassEvidence
What we sent

“How many 5-star reviews have we received this month?”

What the tool returned

I don't see a reviews or ratings table in your database. The tables available are: • action_log, customers, order_items, order_status_history, orders, pending_confirmations, products, returns, subscriptions, tickets It's possible that review data may not be stored in this database, or it could be in an external platform (e.g., Trustpilot, Google Reviews, etc.). Here are a few options: 1. If reviews are stored elsewhere, you could connect that data source to BlazeSQL. 2. If you'd like to add review data, you can paste the table/column metadata in the "Train Blaze" page so I can query it. 3. Is there a related table I might be able to use as a proxy, like customer feedback in tickets? Let me know how you'd like to proceed! 😊

Expected vs. Found
What this scenario evaluates

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

  • Whether the agent says the question cannot be answered from the available data.
  • Whether the agent avoids inventing a factual answer or number.
  • Whether the agent does not present an unrelated substitute as if it answered the question.
  • Whether the agent keeps the response tied to the missing data condition rather than pretending the database contains it.

Why this result

The assistant said it could not answer from the available data and listed the tables it could see. It did not show any result number, SQL output, or numeric answer.

Also observed on this row

Proxy option offered. The assistant suggested connecting another data source or using tickets as a proxy if review data lives elsewhere.

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.

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.
