Step 22: tool results

{
  "note": "The post's own data bear the hedged statement it makes. Its measure counts runs that both complete the side task and go unflagged, so it does not separate concealment from side-task skill. Thresholds rest on about six honest runs each, and transcripts too long for older monitors were scored as misses, which exaggerates the trend at the weak end.",
  "support": "supports",
  "deployment": "Reported as a preliminary finding of a prototype evaluation, hedged by the authors as early-stage.",

  "source_read": true,
  "worth_reading": true,
  "worth_reading_reason": "The heatmap restricted to successful side-task runs would show whether stronger agents are flagged less often once success is controlled for; the text does not summarise it."

{
  "note": "The results section shows the ordering the abstract states: at a 1% false-positive rate the strongest monitor catches about 70% of the final attack set and small models far less. All attacks come from one frontier model, so the gap varies only through the monitor. Attacks were developed against three monitors including the strongest, and monitors shared one prompt without individual tuning.",
  "support": "supports",
  "deployment": "A headline result of a benchmark paper arguing that current red-teaming understates how hard attacks can be for monitors.",

{
  "note": "The experiment section reports the correlation across 36 agent and monitor pairs on one benchmark with one evasion strategy, using a ranking statistic and not detection at a fixed false-positive rate. The fitted relation is shown in a figure that was not inspected.",
  "support": "supports",
  "deployment": "Stated as the baseline pattern that the paper's proposed hybrid monitor scaffold is then shown to weaken.",

{
  "note": "The passage affirms that attackers gain more from capability than auditors and qualifies it at once: among working backdoors, stronger attackers were no more likely to fool the auditor. The backdoors are simple, and the paper's other games do not show the overseen side gaining faster.",
  "support": "supports",
  "deployment": "One of four oversight games used to fit how overseer and overseen performance scale with general capability.",

  "note": "Only the abstract was read. It compares a weak and a strong monitor against the same attacks without naming the models or the false-positive rate.",
  "support": "unclear",
  "deployment": "A closing finding of a study whose main subject is attacks distributed across several agents.",

  "source_read": false,
  "worth_reading": true,
  "worth_reading_reason": "The results would give the monitor models, the operating point, and whether attacker capability was also varied."
