How do I evaluate code execution in an AI agent?+

Look for: (1) reliability across edge cases, not just demo videos; (2) how the agent recovers when code execution fails mid-task; (3) whether code execution is the default mode or an opt-in feature. Production-ready agents publish code execution benchmarks; demos and screenshots aren't enough.
