Data Quality
Sample characteristics — interpret with context.
| Metric | Value |
|---|---|
| Task scenarios | 7 |
| Executions | 7 |
| Runs per task | 1 |
⚠️ Only 1 run per task. With a deterministic agent, each task contributes exactly one observation. Statistical inference is limited.
⚠️ Small sample: only 7 task scenario(s). Pass rates and confidence intervals are wide and should be interpreted with caution.

About this skill
Test how an MCP agent behaves when a tool fails. MCP-Faultline injects controlled faults into tool calls, records the trajectory, and grades whether the agent recovered with evidence, not just pass/fail.
Use this skill when you want to:
- Check whether your agent retries, falls back, aborts, or quietly breaks under a timeout or a bad response.
- Test side effects, like whether a file gets written twice when it should have been written once.
- Replay a previous run to check whether it was reproducible.
The skill walks your agent through installing MCP-Faultline (a Node.js CLI), running the embedded task suite, running oracle validation, replaying a recorded run, and setting up the stdio proxy to test external agents. The proxy has been tested with Cline in VS Code. Other SKILL.md-compatible agents should work with the same configuration, but are untested.
Requires Node.js 20 or newer. No Docker, no external services, no API keys.
Tested on macOS, Linux, and Windows 10.

Node 20+ required. Tracks file side effects only; no network/git tracking. Not a security sandbox. Only tested with Cline for external agents. No LLM-based judging.

Permissions
Allowed Hosts
MCP-Faultline is a Node.js CLI that tests agent resilience. It needs these permissions for the following reasons: 1. Terminal / Shell: To run Node.js commands and the MCP-Faultline CLI. 2. Read Files: To read task YAML files, templates, and reference docs. 3. Write Files: To write the run reports to reports/ inside the cloned repo. 4. Network Access: To clone the public repo from GitHub and install npm dependencies. The skill does not access email, calendar, CRM, or any other service. All work happens locally in a temp sandbox.
