+ # ambral-evals
15
+
16
+ Reports an eval suite's scenarios to Ambral. Your harness runs each scenario and scores it; its agent's model calls go
17
+ through Ambral's Gateway, which serves them with the model the run chose and records them. The SDK opens a run, hands
18
+ each scenario's agent its headers, reports what the suite scored, and closes the run, which then reads with
19
+ `ambral runs show <run>`.
20
+
21
+ A run holds two things for each scenario it ran: its **result** (what the suite reported: whether it passed, its
22
+ rewards, the reasons for them) and its **calls** (the agent's model calls the Gateway recorded). A result can have no
23
+ calls (its agent called no model through the Gateway), and a session can have made calls but have no result (its report
24
+ was refused, or never sent): `ambral runs` reads both.
25
+
26
+ ```sh
27
+ pip install ambral-evals
28
+ ```
29
+
30
+ Python 3.10 or later. Its one dependency is [httpx](https://www.python-httpx.org/).
31
+
32
+ ## A verifiers eval
33
+
34
+ Run the eval with `ambral-verifiers`, naming the suite, then `vf-eval`'s own arguments:
35
+
36
+ ```sh
37
+ ambral-verifiers support-agent/refunds @ eval.toml
38
+ ```
39
+
40
+ It opens the run, sets `AMBRAL_EVAL_HEADER` to its header, runs `vf-eval` in the same process, reports each episode as
41
+ it finishes, and closes the run. The eval's agent seat calls the Gateway, naming the header in its client:
42
+
43
+ ```toml
44
+ model = "ambral/auto"
45
+
46
+ [env.agent.client]
47
+ type = "eval"
48
+ base_url = "https://app.ambral.ai/v1"
49
+ api_key_var = "AMBRAL_API_KEY"
50
+ headers_from_env = { x-ambral-eval = "AMBRAL_EVAL_HEADER" }
51
+ ```
52
+
53
+ - The trace of the seat whose client names the header is one run of its episode's scenario. A trace of another seat (a
54
+ simulated user, a judge) isn't reported. Give only the agent's seat the header, in its own client
55
+ (`[env.agent.client]`): an episode in which more than one seat sends it (as each does when the eval's own client
56
+ names it) isn't reported, and the run's close names it.
57
+ - verifiers sends each rollout's trace id as `X-Session-ID`, which is the session its calls are recorded under.
58
+ - A scenario's id is its task's `id`, or else its `name`, or else its index in the taskset, which holds only while the
59
+ taskset's order does: give each task an `id`.
60
+ - Its rewards, metrics, judge calls and errors are the trace's, and its task the episode's.
61
+ - `ambral-verifiers` reports what this invocation runs: a resumed eval (`--resume`) reports the rollouts it runs again,
62
+ into a run of its own unless `AMBRAL_EVAL_KEY` names the first one's key. With no arguments after the suite, `--help`
63
+ or `--dry-run`, `vf-eval` runs no rollout, and no run is opened.
64
+ - An episode that can't be reported is printed and named when the run closes; the eval goes on. It exits with
65
+ `vf-eval`'s code, or 1 when a scenario has no result, or when `vf-eval` wrote episodes `ambral-verifiers` wasn't
66
+ handed (a verifiers other than the one it was built against).
67
+
68
+ ## A Harbor job
69
+
70
+ Run the job with the plugin, naming the suite:
71
+
72
+ ```sh
73
+ harbor run --plugin ambral_evals.harbor:Report \
74
+ --plugin-kwarg workload=support-agent --plugin-kwarg taskset=terminal-tasks ...
75
+ ```
76
+
77
+ Your agent class sends the headers `headers(self.context_id)` gives on each of its model calls:
78
+
79
+ ```python
80
+ from ambral_evals.harbor import headers
81
+
82
+
83
+ class SupportAgent(BaseAgent):
84
+ async def run(self, instruction, environment, context):
85
+ client = AsyncOpenAI(base_url=gateway_url, default_headers=headers(self.context_id))
86
+ ...
87
+ ```
88
+
89
+ - Each trial is one run of its task, whose name is the scenario's id. Its session is the trial's id (the agent's
90
+ `context_id`), which is new for each attempt.
91
+ - Its rewards are the verifier's (`reward.json`), and each reward's reason is what its criteria said of it, from the
92
+ trial's `verifier/reward-details.json` when the verifier wrote one (rewardkit does). An exception the trial recorded
93
+ is one of its errors.
94
+ - The run's key is the job's id, which a resumed job keeps: it reopens its run and reports the trials it runs now.
95
+ `--plugin-kwarg key=…` or `AMBRAL_EVAL_KEY` names another; `model=…` and `source=…` name the run's model and source.
96
+ - The run opens before any trial runs, and a run that can't be opened stops the job. A trial that can't be reported
97
+ is printed and named when the run closes; the job goes on.
98
+
99
+ ## Any other harness
100
+
101
+ ```python
102
+ from ambral_evals import open_run
103
+
104
+ with open_run("support-agent", "refunds", model="anthropic/claude-haiku-5-5") as run:
105
+ scenario = run.scenario("refunds/over-the-limit")
106
+ client = OpenAI(base_url=os.environ["AMBRAL_GATEWAY_URL"], default_headers=dict(scenario.headers))
107
+ # ... the agent runs ...
108
+ scenario.report({"passed": False, "rewards": {"solved": {"score": 0}}, "reasons": {"solved": "..."}})
109
+ ```
110
+
111
+ - `run.scenario(id, session=...)` takes the agent's own session id, for an agent that names its sessions.
112
+ - `scenario.report(result)` returns once Ambral stored it; reports are sent together, about once a second.
113
+ `scenario.send(result)` queues it and returns a `concurrent.futures.Future` at once, for a harness that shouldn't
114
+ wait (`await asyncio.wrap_future(scenario.send(result))` in asyncio). A report queued is sent: cancelling the wait
115
+ (a timeout) doesn't take it back.
116
+ - `scenario.drop()` says a run of a scenario has no result to report (it was skipped), so the close doesn't ask for
117
+ one.
118
+ - `run.close()` (or the end of the `with` block) sends what is left, prints the run's id and how to read it, and raises
119
+ `ReportError` naming each scenario this process ran that has no result. A result that doesn't fit (a reward
120
+ outside 0 to 1, a `NaN` in its task) raises at `send` or `report`, before it is queued, so it never sinks another
121
+ scenario's report.
122
+
123
+ ## What a result holds, and how it reads back
124
+
125
+ Each result is one run of one scenario, a `dict`. Every key is optional, but a result with neither `passed` nor a reward
126
+ says little.
127
+
128
+ | Key | Shape | What it holds |
129
+ | ------------- | -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
130
+ | `passed` | `bool` | The suite's own verdict. Left out, the run is judged by its scores alone. |
131
+ | `rewards` | `{name: {"score", "weight"?} \| None}` | `score` from 0 (fails) to 1 (passes); a score outside that is refused. `weight` from 0 to 1000, 1 when left out. `None` for a reward that didn't run. A suite that scores on another scale divides by it. |
132
+ | `metrics` | `{name: float \| None}` | What else the suite measures (turns, latency, its own cost): no bound. |
133
+ | `reasons` | `{name: str}` | Why a reward or metric got its value, by its name; at most 16,384 UTF-16 code units each. |
134
+ | `task` | verifiers' `TaskData` | The scenario's prompt, what it expects, and any keys of the suite's; at most 256 KiB as JSON. Sent once per scenario, then by its id. |
135
+ | `judge_calls` | verifiers' judge calls | Each judge exchange behind the scores, at most 64. |
136
+ | `errors` | `[{"type", "message"}]` | What failed while the scenario ran. |
137
+
138
+ Neither integration rescales a score: a verifiers or Harbor reward outside 0 to 1 refuses its scenario before it is
139
+ sent, naming the reward. Divide it by its scale in the suite, or record it as a metric.
140
+
141
+ How Ambral reads them back:
142
+
143
+ - **A run of a scenario's score** is the weighted mean of its rewards: `solved` 0.25 (weight 1) and `polite` 1
144
+ (weight 0.5) score 0.50.
145
+ - **`ambral runs show <run>`** gives the mean of those scores over the run, the pass tally from `passed`, and for each
146
+ reward its mean, median, how many runs scored it, how many runs and scenarios scored it below 1, and the reason
147
+ given for its lowest score.
148
+ - **`ambral runs verdicts <run>`** lists each reward of each run of a scenario with its reason; `--failed` keeps the
149
+ runs `passed` says failed, `--below <n>` and `--check <name>` filter by reward.
150
+ - **`ambral runs trace <run> <scenario>`** shows one run whole: its task, each reward with its reason, its metrics and
151
+ errors, and its calls.
152
+ - **`ambral runs export <run>`** writes each run of a scenario as verifiers' `Episode`, which verifiers and prime-rl
153
+ load.
154
+
155
+ Metrics are shown per run, in `runs trace` and `runs export`; `runs show` doesn't add them up.
156
+
157
+ ## Handing the agent its headers
158
+
159
+ Every model call of a scenario's agent carries its headers, which the Gateway reads the run and the scenario from. Any
160
+ of three ways:
161
+
162
+ - as its model client's default headers (`default_headers=dict(scenario.headers)`);
163
+ - on each request (`extra_headers=dict(scenario.headers)`);
164
+ - through `ambral_evals.httpx`'s transport, for a client built once, at module scope, which adds the current
165
+ scenario's:
166
+
167
+ ```python
168
+ import httpx
169
+ from ambral_evals.httpx import Transport # AsyncTransport for an httpx.AsyncClient
170
+
171
+ client = OpenAI(base_url=os.environ["AMBRAL_GATEWAY_URL"], http_client=httpx.Client(transport=Transport()))
172
+
173
+ with scenario.current():
174
+ agent(client, "Refund invoice inv_123")
175
+ ```
176
+
177
+ The current scenario is the one whose `current()` block the call is made within, in the same thread or asyncio task,
178
+ or one started within it. A call through it outside a scenario is refused, rather than recorded as anything but the
179
+ run's.
180
+
181
+ Only the system under test's clients carry them: never a judge's, or a simulated user's.
182
+
183
+ The agent sends model `ambral/auto`, as it does in production. The headers name the run's workload, so a call that
184
+ names none is served the run's model. One that names another workload (`x-workload`, or `ambral/auto:<workload>`), such
185
+ as a second agent the first calls, is served that workload's primary, and is recorded under the run too.
186
+
187
+ ## The environment
188
+
189
+ | Variable | What it says |
190
+ | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
191
+ | `AMBRAL_API_KEY` | the org's API key, the one its agent calls the Gateway with. Required |
192
+ | `AMBRAL_URL` | where Ambral is served: `https://app.ambral.ai` when unset |
193
+ | `AMBRAL_EVAL_MODEL` | the model the run serves, any of the workload's pool, when the code names none: its primary if unset |
194
+ | `AMBRAL_EVAL_KEY` | the key the suite's processes share one run by (below) |
195
+ | `AMBRAL_EVAL_SOURCE` | `ci` or `local`, where the code names none |
196
+
197
+ A CI matrix over models sets `AMBRAL_EVAL_MODEL` per job, with no change to the code.
198
+
199
+ ## One run per invocation, on CI
200
+
201
+ Shards, workers and matrix jobs of one CI run report to one run: each opens it by the same key, taskset and model, and
202
+ it completes once each has closed it. The key is the CI's own id for the workflow run:
203
+
204
+ - GitHub Actions: the run's id and attempt, so re-running failed jobs is a new run, holding only the jobs run again;
205
+ - GitLab CI: the pipeline's id; CircleCI: the workflow's; Buildkite: the build's. A retried job there keeps that id,
206
+ so it reports into the same run, and its scenarios gain repeats. Set `AMBRAL_EVAL_KEY` to tell its attempts apart;
207
+ - Jenkins and Azure Pipelines don't set `CI`: set `AMBRAL_EVAL_SOURCE=ci`, and `AMBRAL_EVAL_KEY` to the pipeline run's
208
+ id.
209
+
210
+ Elsewhere, each invocation opens a run of its own. A fixed `AMBRAL_EVAL_KEY` opens the same run every time, again once
211
+ it completed, so make it unique per invocation. A Harbor job's run is keyed by the job's id instead (above).
212
+
213
+ A run records where it ran: `ci` when `CI` is set (to anything but `0` or `false`), and `local` otherwise. A suite's
214
+ history leaves local runs out unless asked for them.

+ # ambral-evals
2
+
3
+ Reports an eval suite's scenarios to Ambral. Your harness runs each scenario and scores it; its agent's model calls go
4
+ through Ambral's Gateway, which serves them with the model the run chose and records them. The SDK opens a run, hands
5
+ each scenario's agent its headers, reports what the suite scored, and closes the run, which then reads with
6
+ `ambral runs show <run>`.
7
+
8
+ A run holds two things for each scenario it ran: its **result** (what the suite reported: whether it passed, its
9
+ rewards, the reasons for them) and its **calls** (the agent's model calls the Gateway recorded). A result can have no
10
+ calls (its agent called no model through the Gateway), and a session can have made calls but have no result (its report
11
+ was refused, or never sent): `ambral runs` reads both.
12
+
13
+ ```sh
14
+ pip install ambral-evals
15
+ ```
16
+
17
+ Python 3.10 or later. Its one dependency is [httpx](https://www.python-httpx.org/).
18
+
19
+ ## A verifiers eval
20
+
21
+ Run the eval with `ambral-verifiers`, naming the suite, then `vf-eval`'s own arguments:
22
+
23
+ ```sh
24
+ ambral-verifiers support-agent/refunds @ eval.toml
25
+ ```
26
+
27
+ It opens the run, sets `AMBRAL_EVAL_HEADER` to its header, runs `vf-eval` in the same process, reports each episode as
28
+ it finishes, and closes the run. The eval's agent seat calls the Gateway, naming the header in its client:
29
+
30
+ ```toml
31
+ model = "ambral/auto"
32
+
33
+ [env.agent.client]
34
+ type = "eval"
35
+ base_url = "https://app.ambral.ai/v1"
36
+ api_key_var = "AMBRAL_API_KEY"
37
+ headers_from_env = { x-ambral-eval = "AMBRAL_EVAL_HEADER" }
38
+ ```
39
+
40
+ - The trace of the seat whose client names the header is one run of its episode's scenario. A trace of another seat (a
41
+ simulated user, a judge) isn't reported. Give only the agent's seat the header, in its own client
42
+ (`[env.agent.client]`): an episode in which more than one seat sends it (as each does when the eval's own client
43
+ names it) isn't reported, and the run's close names it.
44
+ - verifiers sends each rollout's trace id as `X-Session-ID`, which is the session its calls are recorded under.
45
+ - A scenario's id is its task's `id`, or else its `name`, or else its index in the taskset, which holds only while the
46
+ taskset's order does: give each task an `id`.
47
+ - Its rewards, metrics, judge calls and errors are the trace's, and its task the episode's.
48
+ - `ambral-verifiers` reports what this invocation runs: a resumed eval (`--resume`) reports the rollouts it runs again,
49
+ into a run of its own unless `AMBRAL_EVAL_KEY` names the first one's key. With no arguments after the suite, `--help`
50
+ or `--dry-run`, `vf-eval` runs no rollout, and no run is opened.
51
+ - An episode that can't be reported is printed and named when the run closes; the eval goes on. It exits with
52
+ `vf-eval`'s code, or 1 when a scenario has no result, or when `vf-eval` wrote episodes `ambral-verifiers` wasn't
53
+ handed (a verifiers other than the one it was built against).
54
+
55
+ ## A Harbor job
56
+
57
+ Run the job with the plugin, naming the suite:
58
+
59
+ ```sh
60
+ harbor run --plugin ambral_evals.harbor:Report \
61
+ --plugin-kwarg workload=support-agent --plugin-kwarg taskset=terminal-tasks ...
62
+ ```
63
+
64
+ Your agent class sends the headers `headers(self.context_id)` gives on each of its model calls:
65
+
66
+ ```python
67
+ from ambral_evals.harbor import headers
68
+
69
+
70
+ class SupportAgent(BaseAgent):
71
+ async def run(self, instruction, environment, context):
72
+ client = AsyncOpenAI(base_url=gateway_url, default_headers=headers(self.context_id))
73
+ ...
74
+ ```
75
+
76
+ - Each trial is one run of its task, whose name is the scenario's id. Its session is the trial's id (the agent's
77
+ `context_id`), which is new for each attempt.
78
+ - Its rewards are the verifier's (`reward.json`), and each reward's reason is what its criteria said of it, from the
79
+ trial's `verifier/reward-details.json` when the verifier wrote one (rewardkit does). An exception the trial recorded
80
+ is one of its errors.
81
+ - The run's key is the job's id, which a resumed job keeps: it reopens its run and reports the trials it runs now.
82
+ `--plugin-kwarg key=…` or `AMBRAL_EVAL_KEY` names another; `model=…` and `source=…` name the run's model and source.
83
+ - The run opens before any trial runs, and a run that can't be opened stops the job. A trial that can't be reported
84
+ is printed and named when the run closes; the job goes on.
85
+
86
+ ## Any other harness
87
+
88
+ ```python
89
+ from ambral_evals import open_run
90
+
91
+ with open_run("support-agent", "refunds", model="anthropic/claude-haiku-5-5") as run:
92
+ scenario = run.scenario("refunds/over-the-limit")
93
+ client = OpenAI(base_url=os.environ["AMBRAL_GATEWAY_URL"], default_headers=dict(scenario.headers))
94
+ # ... the agent runs ...
95
+ scenario.report({"passed": False, "rewards": {"solved": {"score": 0}}, "reasons": {"solved": "..."}})
96
+ ```
97
+
98
+ - `run.scenario(id, session=...)` takes the agent's own session id, for an agent that names its sessions.
99
+ - `scenario.report(result)` returns once Ambral stored it; reports are sent together, about once a second.
100
+ `scenario.send(result)` queues it and returns a `concurrent.futures.Future` at once, for a harness that shouldn't
101
+ wait (`await asyncio.wrap_future(scenario.send(result))` in asyncio). A report queued is sent: cancelling the wait
102
+ (a timeout) doesn't take it back.
103
+ - `scenario.drop()` says a run of a scenario has no result to report (it was skipped), so the close doesn't ask for
104
+ one.
105
+ - `run.close()` (or the end of the `with` block) sends what is left, prints the run's id and how to read it, and raises
106
+ `ReportError` naming each scenario this process ran that has no result. A result that doesn't fit (a reward
107
+ outside 0 to 1, a `NaN` in its task) raises at `send` or `report`, before it is queued, so it never sinks another
108
+ scenario's report.
109
+
110
+ ## What a result holds, and how it reads back
111
+
112
+ Each result is one run of one scenario, a `dict`. Every key is optional, but a result with neither `passed` nor a reward
113
+ says little.
114
+
115
+ | Key | Shape | What it holds |
116
+ | ------------- | -------------------------------------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
117
+ | `passed` | `bool` | The suite's own verdict. Left out, the run is judged by its scores alone. |
118
+ | `rewards` | `{name: {"score", "weight"?} \| None}` | `score` from 0 (fails) to 1 (passes); a score outside that is refused. `weight` from 0 to 1000, 1 when left out. `None` for a reward that didn't run. A suite that scores on another scale divides by it. |
119
+ | `metrics` | `{name: float \| None}` | What else the suite measures (turns, latency, its own cost): no bound. |
120
+ | `reasons` | `{name: str}` | Why a reward or metric got its value, by its name; at most 16,384 UTF-16 code units each. |
121
+ | `task` | verifiers' `TaskData` | The scenario's prompt, what it expects, and any keys of the suite's; at most 256 KiB as JSON. Sent once per scenario, then by its id. |
122
+ | `judge_calls` | verifiers' judge calls | Each judge exchange behind the scores, at most 64. |
123
+ | `errors` | `[{"type", "message"}]` | What failed while the scenario ran. |
124
+
125
+ Neither integration rescales a score: a verifiers or Harbor reward outside 0 to 1 refuses its scenario before it is
126
+ sent, naming the reward. Divide it by its scale in the suite, or record it as a metric.
127
+
128
+ How Ambral reads them back:
129
+
130
+ - **A run of a scenario's score** is the weighted mean of its rewards: `solved` 0.25 (weight 1) and `polite` 1
131
+ (weight 0.5) score 0.50.
132
+ - **`ambral runs show <run>`** gives the mean of those scores over the run, the pass tally from `passed`, and for each
133
+ reward its mean, median, how many runs scored it, how many runs and scenarios scored it below 1, and the reason
134
+ given for its lowest score.
135
+ - **`ambral runs verdicts <run>`** lists each reward of each run of a scenario with its reason; `--failed` keeps the
136
+ runs `passed` says failed, `--below <n>` and `--check <name>` filter by reward.
137
+ - **`ambral runs trace <run> <scenario>`** shows one run whole: its task, each reward with its reason, its metrics and
138
+ errors, and its calls.
139
+ - **`ambral runs export <run>`** writes each run of a scenario as verifiers' `Episode`, which verifiers and prime-rl
140
+ load.
141
+
142
+ Metrics are shown per run, in `runs trace` and `runs export`; `runs show` doesn't add them up.
143
+
144
+ ## Handing the agent its headers
145
+
146
+ Every model call of a scenario's agent carries its headers, which the Gateway reads the run and the scenario from. Any
147
+ of three ways:
148
+
149
+ - as its model client's default headers (`default_headers=dict(scenario.headers)`);
150
+ - on each request (`extra_headers=dict(scenario.headers)`);
151
+ - through `ambral_evals.httpx`'s transport, for a client built once, at module scope, which adds the current
152
+ scenario's:
153
+
154
+ ```python
155
+ import httpx
156
+ from ambral_evals.httpx import Transport # AsyncTransport for an httpx.AsyncClient
157
+
158
+ client = OpenAI(base_url=os.environ["AMBRAL_GATEWAY_URL"], http_client=httpx.Client(transport=Transport()))
159
+
160
+ with scenario.current():
161
+ agent(client, "Refund invoice inv_123")
162
+ ```
163
+
164
+ The current scenario is the one whose `current()` block the call is made within, in the same thread or asyncio task,
165
+ or one started within it. A call through it outside a scenario is refused, rather than recorded as anything but the
166
+ run's.
167
+
168
+ Only the system under test's clients carry them: never a judge's, or a simulated user's.
169
+
170
+ The agent sends model `ambral/auto`, as it does in production. The headers name the run's workload, so a call that
171
+ names none is served the run's model. One that names another workload (`x-workload`, or `ambral/auto:<workload>`), such
172
+ as a second agent the first calls, is served that workload's primary, and is recorded under the run too.
173
+
174
+ ## The environment
175
+
176
+ | Variable | What it says |
177
+ | -------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
178
+ | `AMBRAL_API_KEY` | the org's API key, the one its agent calls the Gateway with. Required |
179
+ | `AMBRAL_URL` | where Ambral is served: `https://app.ambral.ai` when unset |
180
+ | `AMBRAL_EVAL_MODEL` | the model the run serves, any of the workload's pool, when the code names none: its primary if unset |
181
+ | `AMBRAL_EVAL_KEY` | the key the suite's processes share one run by (below) |
182
+ | `AMBRAL_EVAL_SOURCE` | `ci` or `local`, where the code names none |
183
+
184
+ A CI matrix over models sets `AMBRAL_EVAL_MODEL` per job, with no change to the code.
185
+
186
+ ## One run per invocation, on CI
187
+
188
+ Shards, workers and matrix jobs of one CI run report to one run: each opens it by the same key, taskset and model, and
189
+ it completes once each has closed it. The key is the CI's own id for the workflow run:
190
+
191
+ - GitHub Actions: the run's id and attempt, so re-running failed jobs is a new run, holding only the jobs run again;
192
+ - GitLab CI: the pipeline's id; CircleCI: the workflow's; Buildkite: the build's. A retried job there keeps that id,
193
+ so it reports into the same run, and its scenarios gain repeats. Set `AMBRAL_EVAL_KEY` to tell its attempts apart;
194
+ - Jenkins and Azure Pipelines don't set `CI`: set `AMBRAL_EVAL_SOURCE=ci`, and `AMBRAL_EVAL_KEY` to the pipeline run's
195
+ id.
196
+
197
+ Elsewhere, each invocation opens a run of its own. A fixed `AMBRAL_EVAL_KEY` opens the same run every time, again once
198
+ it completed, so make it unique per invocation. A Harbor job's run is keyed by the job's id instead (above).
199
+
200
+ A run records where it ran: `ci` when `CI` is set (to anything but `0` or `false`), and `local` otherwise. A suite's
201
+ history leaves local runs out unless asked for them.
