EurekAgent: Agent Environment Engineering is All You Need For Autonomous Scientific Discovery

Amy Xin, Jiening Siow, Junjie Wang et al.

What this work does

Coordinates existing CLI agents through permission boundaries, persistent artifacts, execution budgets and human supervision interfaces.

Connection to discovery

A concrete harness baseline for testing whether reliable state, evaluators and budget handling explain improvements attributed to agent intelligence.

Evidence

Inspected the separation of hidden evaluation services from editable workspaces and continuation from shared filesystem state under remaining budgets.

Scope and limitations

The underlying models are off-the-shelf; harness improvements should not be described as RL training. Metric-driven tasks and possible human intervention bound autonomy claims.
