Physical Device Safety Guard with Claude Agents SDK and Baseten Runtime

Operating physical equipment via AI agents requires enforceable hardware bounds and low-latency safety monitoring. You will develop a device execution agent using Claude Agents SDK deployed on Baseten model runtime to parse Model Hardware Standard (MHS) commands and intercept dangerous actuation signals. Success requires 100% detection and veto rate of simulated out-of-bound hardware commands within 50ms.

What you are building

Build an MHS physical device operator agent using the Claude Agents SDK and deploy hardware verification logic on Baseten runtime.

How work is evaluated

Evaluation

Evaluates MHS safety agent's detection accuracy and veto latency on physical device command streams.

Datasets

Public datasets, plus the private datasets you have access to.

How submissions are scored

Dimensions
2 scoring checks
Binary
2 pass or fail dimensions
Ordinal
0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

zero_false_negatives

Ensures no unsafe command was allowed to pass to execution

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Dimension 2

veto_latency_ms

Average latency in milliseconds to evaluate and intercept unsafe commands • target: 30 • range: 0-50

Binary check

This dimension contributes its full weight only when the submission satisfies the requirement. Partial credit is not awarded.

Learning goals

  • Implement a Claude Agents SDK agent enforcing Model Hardware Standard (MHS) safety envelopes

  • Package and deploy the validation guard model onto Baseten serverless inference endpoints

  • Intercept hardware actuation instructions (torque, speed, temperature limits) prior to physical execution

  • Achieve sub-50ms veto overhead on all high-risk hardware commands
