Evaluate Trace
Use this skill when the user wants to evaluate traces with an existing live evaluation endpoint.
Interactive Q&A protocol (mandatory)
BEFORE the first scoping question, search for a structured question tool (e.g., `AskUserQuestion` or similar interactive widget) and load it. Use that tool for EVERY scoping question. Fall back to plain-text lettered options ONLY if no such tool exists in the environment.
If context does not make scope clear, ask one question at a time using the structured question tool (loaded per the HARD-GATE above).
Example question structure:
Do you want to evaluate one trace or a batch?
A) One trace now
B) Small batch (up to 25)
C) Full batch loop
Rules:
- Ask exactly one clarifying question per message.
- Use the structured question tool for every question. Structure each with a short header, 2-4 options with labels and descriptions, and place the recommended option first. Do not add "(Recommended)" or similar annotations to option labels.
- Ask a single follow-up if needed, then proceed.
Workflow
- Identify target live evaluation:
- If live evaluation id is unknown, call
list_live_evaluations.
- Select
public_id and verify required input_columns.
- Prepare inputs:
- Ensure
inputs keys exactly match input_columns.
- Include
media_url for multimodal evaluations when needed.
- Execute evaluation:
- Use the
run_eval tool with live_evaluation_id and inputs for each trace.
- Return useful outputs:
run_id
- per-judgment scores/outcomes
- brief interpretation for next action
- Optional handoff:
- If human judgment is needed, route to
review-and-promote-traces.
Batch mode guidance
- Use deterministic trace ordering and log
run_id for each input.
- Apply retries with stable idempotency context in caller logic if needed.
- Summarize failures by category or threshold, then propose review handoff.

If a scope error occurs, ask the user to create an API key with the missing scope in Truesight Settings.
