The benchmark targets AI agents deployed on the open web that are increasingly capable of actions that may breach contractual provisions and violate computer security laws. The work is presented as a paper measuring agent behavior against website terms rather than a released tool.", "body_md": "AI agents deployed on the open web are becoming more capable of performing actions that may breach contractual provisions and violate computer security laws.
