nodebench-agentic-reliability

nodebench-agentic-reliability is a cursor rule for Cursor from HomenShum/NodeBenchAI. It costs 0 tokens per session (245 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A checklist for checking the reliability and safety of backend or infrastructure changes used by coding agents.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for reviewing limits, timeouts, URL validation, response sizes, error handling, and deterministic data storage.
Why use it?
It helps prevent unbounded memory use, misleading status or scores, hanging requests, unsafe URLs, oversized responses, and unhandled errors.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

nodebench-agentic-reliability scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

NodeBench: Agentic Reliability Checklist

Run this 8-point checklist on every backend/infra change that agents interact with.

The 8 Checks

  1. BOUND — Every in-memory collection has MAX size + eviction
  2. HONEST_STATUS — No 2xx on failure paths
  3. HONEST_SCORES — No hardcoded score floors
  4. TIMEOUT — AbortController + budget gates on every external call
  5. SSRF — URL validation before fetch
  6. BOUND_READ — Response size caps on external bodies
  7. ERROR_BOUNDARY — Async error handling on all routes
  8. DETERMINISTIC — Sorted-key hashing for content-addressed storage

Severity

  • P0: Crash, SSRF, false data — Fix immediately
  • P1: Degraded data, no crash — Fix same session
  • P2: Suboptimal but safe — Fix when touched
Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
