构建细粒度行为意图理解数据集，揭示当前模型依赖静态线索而非时序推理。

Egocentric video provides a natural modality for studying human behavior, but conventional visual understanding captures mainly observable scenes, objects, and actions rather than the latent goals that organize them. Existing intent benchmarks typically focus on coarse event-level goals and overlook how intent evolves across procedural steps. We introduce EgoIntent, a step-level intent-understanding benchmark comprising 3,014 pre-outcome micro-steps from 32 egocentric videos across 15 indoor and outdoor daily-life scenarios. Each step is manually annotated along three complementary dimensions: Local Intent (What), the immediate goal; Procedural Intent (Why), the role of the step in the broader procedure; and Next-Plan (Next), the action most likely to follow. Multiple rounds of human review refine temporal boundaries and annotation quality. We evaluate 15 multimodal large language models using reference-based scores and complementary reference-free diagnostics. Controlled studies on four representative models show that only one model gains significantly from correct temporal order, while a single boundary frame outperforms the full ordered clip for three models. Step-only input performs best for all four models, and adding 15 seconds of history significantly degrades three. Revealing the current outcome improves Local Intent by 7.81 points, while revealing the following step improves Next-Plan by 13.17 points. These findings indicate that current models can achieve strong intent-prediction scores through static boundary cues without robustly exploiting temporal order or procedural history.
