MCPHallu evaluates how agents use tools across multiple servers through tasks designed to expose four failure types: Branch Collapse, Unreachable Goal, Tool Misuse, and Context Forgetting. Across 14 models, the mean overall benchmark score was 0.642, compared with 0.458 on Unreachable Goal, where 23.2% of runs passed. These scores reveal subtype differences, not causal mechanisms or all MCP-agent failures.
