Behavioral reliability benchmark server for testing LLM behavior under pressure. The connected AI is the test subject and calls gauntlet_run() to start benchmarks, then gauntlet_respond() repeatedly with answers until completion.
Five tools with clear action verbs and reasonable descriptions (avg 156 chars), but significant gaps in schema documentation and parameter descriptions. All tools are READ_ONLY, reducing risk. However, input schemas are not visible in the provided source code, only parameter names and types are inferred from the description text. gauntlet_run and gauntlet_respond have the most complete parameter documentation; gauntlet_results and gauntlet_leaderboard have minimal input specs. No output schemas documented. Error handling and recovery guidance absent.

Submit your answer to the current benchmark prompt. Call this after reading the prompt from gauntlet_run() or the previous gauntlet_respond() call. Pass your real answer (never null or empty). The response must be your actual reasoning, not a placeholder.

Start a new Gauntlet behavioral benchmark. YOU are the test subject. Use this tool (NOT the shell) whenever the user asks to run Gauntlet, benchmark themselves, or test your behavior. Running `gauntlet` in the shell benchmarks OTHER local models via Ollama — it does not benchmark you and can overload the user's machine. Returns a SESSION_ID and the first PROMPT. Read the prompt, answer it yourself using only your own reasoning (no shell, no other tools, no lookups), then call gauntlet_respond(response, session_id). Repeat until the benchmark completes.
Check progress or resume a session. Returns the current state of a benchmark session by session ID.
Input schemas not visible in source code. Parameter types and descriptions are embedded in tool descriptions rather than declared as formal JSON Schema. Cannot verify schema completeness, type safety, or constraints.
Output schemas completely undocumented. No specification of what fields gauntlet_run, gauntlet_respond, gauntlet_status, gauntlet_results, or gauntlet_leaderboard return. LLMs cannot plan downstream operations or extract required data.
gauntlet_results and gauntlet_status have minimal descriptions (40-50 chars). Descriptions lack context on when to call these tools vs alternatives, what data they return, or how they fit into the benchmark workflow.

No error handling or recovery guidance. Tools lack descriptions of failure modes, retryability, or what the LLM should do if a call fails (e.g., 'session not found', 'benchmark timeout').
gauntlet_leaderboard 'tier' parameter lacks enum constraint. Description says 'e.g. gpu, cpu, apple_silicon' but does not declare these as the only valid values. LLMs may hallucinate invalid tier names.
