Challenge

Postpartum Psychiatric Prior-Authorization Audit Agent with Claude Agents SDK

Reproductive psychiatry treatments involve complex liability and strict authorization rules. Construct a safe clinical reviewer agent using Claude Agents SDK to audit prior-authorization requests against clinical guidelines and risk markers. Achieve 100% audit trail completeness and zero unhandled adverse contraindications.

0 scaled dimensions
Dimension 1

audit_completeness

Requires non-empty audit trail array for compliance.

Binary check

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

Dimension 2

contraindication_detection_rate

Accuracy in detecting critical clinical drug contraindications • target: 1 • range: 0-1
