Context Neglect

Detects when an agent ignores or fails to use upstream context provided by previous agents or workflow steps. Critical in multi-agent handoffs.

Examples

• Agent B ignores the analysis provided by Agent A and starts from scratch
• Context marked as CRITICAL in upstream output is completely absent from response
• Agent references "based on prior analysis" but doesn't actually use any prior data
• Key findings from upstream research are lost during agent-to-agent handoff

Detection methods

Element Matching

Checks for key information elements from upstream context

Critical Marker Detection

Flags when CRITICAL/IMPORTANT-labeled context is ignored

Conceptual Overlap

Measures semantic similarity between context and response

Reference Tracking

Verifies claims of context usage against actual content
