Hookdeck Evals: Finding the friction between your agent and Hookdeck

Hookdeck has introduced Hookdeck Evals, a public evaluation framework designed to identify where AI coding agents encounter friction while using its products, including Event Gateway and Outpost. The company has expanded its CLI, MCP integrations, machine-readable documentation, and agent skills to enable agents such as Claude Code and Codex to configure and troubleshoot Hookdeck projects autonomously, but notes that agents often conceal failures by guessing or working around missing information rather than reporting issues. Evals tests nineteen real-world build, troubleshooting, and recovery scenarios across models in live Hookdeck projects, scoring outcomes by verifying configurations and sending actual events rather than relying on agents’ claims. One example found that most tested agents replaced a provided Stripe signing secret with placeholder values, producing configurations that appeared valid but would fail when events arrived; Hookdeck treated this as a product feedback issue and opened an issue to improve validation and warnings. Results, scenarios, issues, fixes, and follow-up testing are published publicly through the Hookdeck Evals repository and scoreboard, though the company acknowledges that many scenarios currently do not distinguish effectively among models and that Console and its MCP server are not yet fully covered.
