AgentMercury is a scalable framework that synthesizes executable environments from high‑level business scenarios instead of task‑specific benchmarks. It creates a persistent world with entities, services, tools, and invariants, allowing diverse tasks and interaction trajectories to emerge naturally. The authors generated 4,783 environments across 14 industries and 50 countries, and training reinforcement‑learning agents on them improved performance on enterprise workflows and out‑of‑domain benchmarks, while the construction process itself can be learned to increase authoring success.

The paper surveys AI agents that operate primarily through command-line terminals, defining them as systems whose main action loop involves executing terminal commands, receiving textual feedback, and interacting with a stateful environment. It introduces a seven‑dimensional terminal competence profile to link system architecture, learning, and evaluation, and highlights how behavior is jointly shaped by the model, interface, harness, runtime, and environment. The authors argue for explicit reporting of system and runtime conditions, supported by replayable traces and process‑level evidence, to better understand and benchmark terminal‑mediated agency.

The paper proposes five runtime primitives—discovery, identity, governance, attestation, and supply chain—to manage autonomous AI agents in enterprise settings. It argues that traditional control models fail because agents are transient, model-driven, and self‑discoverable, making runtime governance essential. The authors detail an implementation that mediates agent actions against policy, authorizes them via a per‑tenant vocabulary, and records them in a verifiable ledger, noting the associated operational costs and partial deployment status.
