R-Judge: Agent Safety Risk Evaluation

Safety risk evaluation of LLM agent interactions across diverse risk scenarios. Annotators assess whether agent actions are safe or harmful, identify risk categories, evaluate intent vs. outcome alignment, and provide justifications for their safety assessments.
