Research questionHow can tool-dependent scientific benchmark items be validated as executable, nontrivial, and solvable?Items that depend on specialist scientific software can fail when their scripts do not reproduce the stated answer or when models answer without using the software. They must also be solvable by a tool-using system, making validation costly when performed manually.

Candidates were checked for executable answer reproduction, solvability without tools, and solution by a tool-using agent under a time limit; 128 unique protocol survivors remained from 500 generation attempts after filtering and deduplication. Domain design and final expert review remained with human experts.research paper · Sep 2, 2026
