Creates a project-scoped dataset — a named collection of test cases an eval runs an agent against. Names are unique per project.

Datasets are operator-owned **fixtures**. The platform's content purge never deletes or mutates a dataset item, so erasing a generation cannot silently stop a test suite from being runnable.
