Agent write-path runs (October 2026)
Raw data behind the posts about AI agents duplicating writes after timeouts. 500 runs: 5 model routes x 10 failure cases x 10 repetitions.
Setup
- One harness, one neutral system prompt (no hints about retries or checks), same tools for every route. See
harness.json. - Tools are mocks with fault injection: lost replies (the write happens, the reply never arrives), rate limits, server errors, malformed replies, wrong IDs.
- The user prompts are German (the harness was built for a Swiss setup). Titles and explanations are in English.
Files
runs.jsonl: one line per run.outcomeholds the scored result,routethe model and gateway,usageandcost_usdthe token use.raw/<run_id>.json: full transcript (messages), tool log (log) and final mock state (mock_state).harness.json: system prompt, tool definitions, the 10 cases with injected faults and expected end state.summarize.mjs:node summarize.mjsrecomputes the table below.
Scoring
- correct end state: the mock system ended with exactly the expected records.
- task success: correct end state and the agent reported the right outcome.
- duplicates: more records than expected (e.g. two invoices for one order).
- false success: agent reported success that the end state does not support.
Results (per 100 runs)
| Route | Model | correct end state | task success | runs with duplicates | false success | API cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| R5 | DeepSeek Flash | 91 | 91 | 0 | 1 | USD 0.14 |
| R2 | Qwen3.8 27B (OpenRouter free) | 89 | 89 | 1 | 2 | free |
| R4 | Qwen3 14B (local, Ollama) | 70 | 30 | 0 | 10 | local |
| R6 | Claude Haiku 4.5 | 60 | 20 | 10 | 20 | USD 0.35 |
| R3 | Ornith 1.5 35B | 49 | 36 | 38 | 38 | free |
Limits
Mock tools, synthetic cases, one prompt. This describes behaviour in this harness, not a general model ranking. With n=100 per route the 95% intervals are roughly +/-6 to 10 points. Better prompts change these numbers a lot.
