Test whether your AI agent used the right tool before answering

Automatically checks whether your AI agent actually used the correct tool when responding, so you can catch mistakes before customers do.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. Runs once per each test question.

The problem it solves

You've built an AI assistant that's supposed to look something up before answering, but you have no easy way to know if it's actually doing that or just guessing. Small logic mistakes like this erode trust and are hard to catch by manually scrolling through chat logs.

Who it fits

Businesses running an AI chatbot or agent that must reliably use a specific tool, like a calculator or lookup, before responding.

How it works

  1. A batch of test questions runs through your AI agent automatically
  2. The agent answers and reports which tools it used along the way
  3. The system checks that report against the tool it was supposed to use
  4. Each test is scored as a pass or a fail
  5. You get a clear report showing where the agent is and isn't following instructions
What you get

Tool usage checked before it ships

You get a clear report showing exactly where your AI agent used the right tool and where it didn't, before customers ever notice.

What you get

A pass or fail score for each test case, rolled into an overall accuracy report on the agent's tool use.

What you need

An OpenAI API key and an account for the automation platform running the AI agent.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
