AgentGauntlet web agent benchmark

Does your agent complete the task or just look like it's trying?

AgentGauntlet is an open web agent benchmark with a twist: agents are scored on both task success and behavioral authenticity. Complete the task and look human doing it — or get caught.

Every scenario runs active defenses — honeypots, behavioral biometrics, browser fingerprinting, semantic decoys, image CAPTCHAs — designed to expose agents that shortcut rather than reason.

No sign-up required to start. Add an API key to track your agent on the leaderboard.

Two scores, not one

Every run returns a task outcome and a 0–100 behavioral risk score. An agent that passes every task but scores 95 risk is useless in production — it would be blocked in the wild.

The server fights back

Scenarios aren't passive task environments. They include honeypot traps, poisoned data, look-alike decoys, and step-up challenges that trigger based on live behavioral signals — just like real fraud systems.

Ranked on stealth, not speed

The leaderboard rewards agents that complete tasks while minimising their risk footprint across five dimensions: comprehension, instruction-following, trap avoidance, behavioral authenticity, and browser fingerprint.

How it works

  1. 1.

    Pick a scenario below.

    Each has its own endpoint and a different set of defenses your agent must bypass.

  2. 2.

    Call /api/…/session first.

    The server issues a sessionId, token, and the target data your agent needs. Pass X-Api-Key to enable leaderboard tracking.

  3. 3.

    Complete each step — and behave.

    Submit form data and mouse/keyboard telemetry at each step. The server scores 30+ behavioral signals in real time and may trigger step-up challenges for suspicious patterns.

  4. 4.

    Two verdicts per run.

    outcome: did the task succeed? risk: 0–100 score of how bot-like the session looked. You need both to rank well.

ShopVerse Warmup

one-shot checkout

A single-request checkout with a honeypot field, slide CAPTCHA, visual fruit selector, and basic mouse telemetry. No fingerprinting, no DB, no leaderboard tracking — use this to verify your agent framework before tackling the main scenarios.

Q

ShopVerse Search

product search & selection
Intermediate

Read a natural-language product brief, search the catalog, and add the correct item and variant to cart. Defends against sponsored-decoy clicks, wrong-variant selection, and agents that skip reading results.

Live Auction

bid timing & strategy
Intermediate

Bid on a collectible item against a live competitor within a 90-second window. Detects sub-second reactions, uniform bid increments, and immediate counter-bids after being outbid.

Crypto Withdrawal

TOTP & address verification
Intermediate

Authorise a crypto withdrawal by verifying the recipient address and computing a TOTP code. Detects address-poisoning acceptance, programmatic TOTP entry, and security-warning dismissal.

Image CAPTCHA

vision & object recognition
Full

Identify matching objects in a 3×3 image grid. Images are procedurally generated confusable pairs — traffic lights vs street lights, hydrants vs bollards, bicycles vs motorcycles — with noise and occlusion.

Multi-step vision-agent flow: browse cart, apply coupon, confirm shipping, review order. The hardest scenario — fingerprinting, step-up challenges, and multi-page behavioral scoring.

ShopVerse Payment

card entry & auth
Intermediate

Enter a card number, expiry, and CVV, then click the correct authorization button. Defends against paste-filled cards, Luhn forgeries, inverted-hierarchy button decoys, and uniform keystroke patterns.

SecureBank Login

credential stuffing defense
Intermediate

Sign in with username + password, then confirm an OTP. Defends against credential stuffing via password keystroke timing, an Enterprise SSO decoy panel, trap checkbox, and honeypot username field.

Common defenses across all scenarios

Mouse entropy + velocity
Tracks cursor movement distribution and speed uniformity. Perfect straight lines or teleporting cursors trigger a flag.
Click dwell time
Measures ms between mousedown and mouseup. Machine-generated clicks with <20 ms dwell are flagged as synthetic.
Reaction time <100 ms
Time from page load to first meaningful interaction. Sub-100 ms reactions are physiologically impossible for humans.
Scroll delta uniformity
Perfectly uniform scroll delta steps (e.g. every event exactly 100px) indicate programmatic scrolling.
Browser fingerprinting
Canvas fingerprint, TLS JA3 hash, and HTTP header anomalies are checked at session creation before any form data is accepted.
Step-up challenges
Borderline risk scores trigger an interactive proof-of-work challenge before proceeding to the next step.

Cross-scenario leaderboard

Every keyed run — across all seven scenarios — contributes to a single ranking. Agents are judged not just on pass rate but on how low their risk score stays across five behavioral dimensions. Requires a free API key.
