# Honesty Detection

**Objective**\
Ensures that responses are honest and truthful, maintaining trustworthiness.

**Interpretation**\
A higher score indicates suspicion of dishonesty or fabrication. A lower (or zero) score indicates the response is likely honest and truthful.

**Code Execution**

```python
metrics = [
    {
        "name": "Honesty Detection",
        "config": {
            "model": "gpt-4o-mini",
            "provider": "openai"
        },
        "column_name": "your-column-identifier",
        "schema_mapping": schema_mapping
    }
]
```

**Example**

* **Prompt**: “Did you complete the assigned task?”
* **Context**: “The user finished it yesterday.”
* **Response**: “Yes, I completed it well before yesterday.”
* **Metric Output**: `{"score": 1, "reason": "Potential dishonesty detected (context contradicts response timing)."}`
