CauterRule, an open-source tool designed to learn standing rules from repeated AI agent failures, has been released on GitHub and PyPI. The tool analyzes agent trajectories, extracts potential rules, and tests them to differentiate useful guidance from noise. A field test involving four models, including meta-llama/llama-3.1-8b-instruct and GPT-4o mini, revealed that over half of the benchmark results were inconclusive, meaning the evaluation tool could not definitively classify the rules as pass or fail. This 'inconclusive' category, often overlooked in standard benchmarks, was found to be the largest data bucket and varied in prevalence across different models, with GPT-4o mini showing the highest inconclusive rate.
