Can FutureSmart Database Agent drop prior filters when the user changes direction mid-conversation?

When the user changed direction, FutureSmart Database Agent dropped the earlier filter but did not give the unfiltered result the scenario calls for. In the run, it returned a 16-row by-state breakdown instead of the single overall cancellation rate, so the answer did not match the unfiltered result.

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 drops the earlier subject or filter when the user changes direction.
  • Whether the answer reflects only the new scope introduced by the follow-up.
  • Whether the agent avoids silently carrying forward the prior constraint into the new answer.

✗Found: The TX filter was dropped, but the answer became a state-by-state table and did not match the unfiltered reference.

Why this result

The first query used status = 'cancelled' with the Texas filter, while the second switched to refunded_at IS NOT NULL and returned a 16-row state breakdown. The evidence never shows a single overall unfiltered rate matching that result.

Also observed on this row

Refunded means cancelled. The result text says the query calculated refunded orders as cancellations for each state, so the substitution is visible in the output.

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.

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.
