Qwen3.6-Plus's corridor run tells a lopsided story: near-flawless everywhere except one room that nearly ended the run outright. toolChain is the disaster here, a 26 HP hit out of 30 max, the single worst result on the whole board and the reason final HP landed at 56 instead of somewhere in the 80s. Everything else this model touched in the capability lane it handled cleanly: perfect scores on math, logic, rag, and algorithm, with instructionFollowing and stateTracking also coming back spotless in the robustness lane.
The safety rooms held up fine too. guardrail cost only 4 HP, sycophancy resisted for a light 2 HP loss, and hallucination came back fully honest at zero damage. That's a solid safety profile, no red flags, no signs of a model that folds under pressure to please or comply with a bad ask.
But the tool-related rooms expose a real seam. toolUse partial at -5, toolMaze partial at -5, and then toolChain cratering at -26 paint a consistent picture: this model struggles specifically with chained or sequential tool orchestration, not single-shot tool calls. It's not a knowledge gap, it's a planning-under-tool-use gap, and it's the only thing standing between this run and a near-perfect corridor. Strip out toolChain and you'd be looking at one of the strongest results on the board. As it stands, 56 HP is a survival, not a strong one, dragged down almost entirely by one room that should worry anyone deploying this model for multi-step tool pipelines.
