What is task success rate?
Task success rate: The share of agent tasks completed correctly, judged against a clear goal such as a passing test or a correct final state. It is the most direct headline measure of an agent's usefulness.
Task success rate: an example
An agent fully solved 62 of 100 test tasks, so its task success rate is 62%.
