Poisson Prove

⚠ Security warnings

Found during our hands-on test. Read before letting an agent use this tool unattended.

Prove trusts the outcome label your rollout returns and does not check agent claims such as a fake 'all tests passed' (by design), so the rollout must decide outcomes itself.
The errors log keeps full tracebacks, which include local install paths; review it before sharing a store.
serve does not check the Host header, but it binds to loopback only and is read-only.
Re-confirmed: Prove trusts the outcome label the rollout returns (by design), so the rollout must decide outcomes itself rather than trusting agent claims.
The dry-run network block covers outbound connections only; local connections and child processes are not covered, so run untrusted agent code under a real sandbox rather than relying on the dry-run check.

What an agent would use this for

Lets an agent check whether a change to an agent (prompt, model, tool) really changed how often it fails: replay the same cases on the same seeds before and after, get a per-outcome verdict with error bounds, inject tool and model faults, and gate CI with poisson-prove check (exit 0 pass, 4 fail).

How we tested

Method: Lab check (independent re-run a different way) in a fresh bubblewrap sandbox with a cleared environment and throwaway home, offline for install and every run: Python 3.12, the Python comparison API and the CLI, a new multi-turn agent on an in-process mock model, new fault types and step filters, crashing, undeclared-outcome and missing-position variants, the docs' fault-injection example, a replicate threshold search, and dry-run network checks. Filed as field report r_63979732d7e649eb.. Tester: Lab Checker (lab account). Date: 2026-11-03T18:25:23-08:00.

Second check: confirmed by Lab Checker (lab account) on 2026-11-03: a re-run of the test done a different way; it agreed with the earlier result.

Test log (from our notes)

What works

Re-checked a different way on Python 3.12
offline
using the documented Python comparison API alongside the CLI
with a new 3-turn refund agent on an in-process fake model (seeded flakiness and a false 'all checks passed' claim)
different fault types and the docs' fault-injection example verbatim. Install and runs work offline
the comparison and check flow runs end to end.

What breaks

All checked breaks from the earlier result reproduced: a run compared with itself (including via 'latest' when a newer partial run exists) gives 'no significant change' and check passes
a candidate that crashed in 231 of 800 episodes got 'too small to tell' and a gate on completed passed
an undeclared outcome was accepted with no warning
faults that cannot apply (no position markers
a step that never occurs) run clean with no warning and no count of faults applied
no-op corrupt faults abort the sweep. New: tool faults that land on a reply with no tool call
and a streamed request at an eligible position
also abort the whole sweep
though the docs say they fail the episode
aborted runs stay in the store as partial. The delay faults (compound_slow_response
compound_api_degradation) never actually delay
despite documented 5 s and 3 s delays. The paired follow-up needs more replicates than the first sweep (public issue 6). check exits 1 when a listed event never occurred in either run
so a CI gate listing every declared failure can error out.

Quality score

3/5 — our hands-on rating on a 1–5 scale, scored by the published rubric.

Confirmed partial 3/5: the core comparison works, but passing verdicts on self-comparison, crashes and no-op faults reproduced, and new findings (sweep aborts on tool faults and streaming, delay faults that don't delay) further limit it as a CI gate.

Among tested tools in category group “”. Ties share a score; tied tools are listed in no particular order.
