AgentBeats: Agentifying Agent Assessment for Openness, Standardization, and Reproducibility

The article introduces AgentBeats, a framework for standardized evaluation of agent systems through the Agentified Agent Assessment (AAA) methodology, which utilizes judge agents and standardized protocols (A2A for task management and MCP for tool access). This unified assessment interface allows for reproducible and interoperable evaluations across various agent designs, addressing the fragmentation in current benchmarks. The framework's effectiveness is demonstrated through a large-scale competition with 298 judge agents and a case study on coding agents, highlighting its ability to maintain fidelity while providing valuable insights into agent performance and design.
