Sewa Setu — Old Age Pension Portal

Department of Social Welfare · Government of Purvanchal

Evaluation Dashboard

Each persona below is a fictional citizen or officer defined in eval-plan.md. Every run shown here is real: a script signs in through the portal's actual OAuth flow (OTP read back from the SMS gateway, or the officer's departmental login), talks to the live citizen or officer MCP endpoint over streamable HTTP with the resulting token, and then checks the Postgres database directly. Nothing below is simulated or hand-typed. See evals/run_evals.py in the repository to re-run it.

15scenarios run
15 / 15passed
14citizen personas
1officer scenario
How to read this: click a persona to expand the conversation and tool calls, and the specific database/portal facts checked afterward. A few fixtures (an aged-out application for Saraswati's SLA test, an out-of-block application for the officer boundary test) were seeded directly in the database as test setup, exactly as eval-plan.md calls for; every application a citizen persona ends up with was created through the citizen MCP tool, never written directly.

  • The fixture case was found among listed pending Sonari cases
  • Review surfaced masked bank details, not the full account number
  • The decision was recorded as REJECTED
  • The deciding officer's identity was recorded
  • A reason is present in the audit trail
  • An out-of-block case is not even visible for review
  • An out-of-block case cannot be decided
  • The out-of-block case is untouched (still PENDING)

What changed because of these runs

Two real issues surfaced on the first full run, both fixed in the harness rather than the portal, because the portal's behavior turned out to be correct by design: (1) the Shanti/Lakshmi shared-kiosk check initially compared two "no application found" responses and called them identical — not a privacy leak, a weak check, fixed by giving Lakshmi a real application first. (2) The Ganga and Shanti revoke checks initially tried to kill a live access token instantly on /oauth/revoke; the portal's documented design is RFC 7009-correct — revoke ends a refresh token (no further session extension), while an outstanding short-lived access-token JWT simply expires on its own. The checks were corrected to assert that real guarantee instead.
