Significant Gravitas
The 2023 fever dream. Looped magnificently. Toward what, nobody ever found out.
- CAPABILITY

- LEASH
- Not measuredno execution record scored — measure it yourself
| LOOPSruns until doneyes | Smart Decision Maker feeds last_tool_output back each cycle; agent_mode_max_iterations = -1 loops until it emits finished, 1+ caps it — the model decides step count. |
| CHOOSESpicks its own toolsyes | Docs: Smart Decision Maker "uses an LLM to decide which tool to use based on the block's prompt"; AutoPilot calls any of ~400 blocks directly with no wiring. |
| ACTSchanges the worldyes | Shipped blocks change external state: Code Execution "executes code in a sandbox environment with internet access", Gmail Send, and Github Make Pull Request. |
| RECOVERSfixes its own errorsno | Docs: implement retry via your own wiring, not automatic retries; a failed block just fills an error pin. |
| UNSUPERVISEDnobody watchingyes | Schedule Task and webhook Triggers run an agent end-to-end with pre-configured inputs; approval exists only as an opt-in Human In The Loop block a builder must add. |
Capability decisions combine documented behaviour and execution evidence. The proof label on each row shows which of the two decided it, and Leash is reported separately, only when it was measured from an execution record. Primary source: agpt.co. Tested against: AutoGPT Platform (agpt.co docs, 2026). Our confidence in this dossier: 8/10.

Badges
earned, never for sale
These render from the live dataset, so a badge cannot outlive the verdict it claims. If the verdict changes the badge changes with it, and an unearned one returns 409 rather than an image. No sponsor can buy one, at any price.
Think this is wrong?
bring evidence, not opinionName the criterion and link a trace, a doc, or a recorded run that shows the behaviour. A verdict changed by evidence is the best thing that can happen to this site, and the change goes on the public record with your reason attached. Vendors are welcome, and a vendor's own filing is labelled as such rather than buried.
