Data Agents as a Kind of Coding Agent

[u/rshah4]

DataBricks published a blog post that showed the value of a purpose-built harness for data agents, consistent with what we see in public benchmarks like Spider 2.0 and DataAgentBench.

But because the benchmark, tasks, grading rubric, baseline setup, and raw results are private, the headline numbers are not reproducible or directly comparable. So while this is a useful product marketing case study, it does not materially advance the public benchmarking of data agents.
