# Evals

> How we measure whether the AI-Team system actually works — not just that tests pass.

Evals live alongside unit/integration tests but answer a different question: given a real (or realistic) project request, did the system produce the right **outcome**? This document covers strategy, metrics, and concrete code for each orchestration backend.

---

## 0. Why Evals Are Different from Tests

| | Unit / Integration Tests | Evals |
|---|---|---|
| **What they check** | Code correctness, guardrail logic, routing | Output quality, task completion, cost |
| **LLM involved** | Mocked / stubbed | Real (gated behind `AI_TEAM_USE_REAL_LLM`) |
| **Pass/fail** | Binary | Scored (0–1 or rubric) |
| **Run frequency** | Every PR | Nightly / pre-release / on demand |
| **Artifacts** | Test report | `evals/results/<run_id>/` JSONL + summary |

---

## 1. Eval Dimensions

### 1.1 Task Success Rate

Did the agent complete the requested task?

| Signal | How to measure |
|--------|---------------|
| **Functional** | Generated code runs, tests pass (`pytest` exit 0) |
| **Structural** | Required files exist (`src/`, `tests/`, `docs/`) |
| **Acceptance** | User-defined criteria met (checked by LLM judge) |

### 1.2 Output Quality

| Signal | Metric |
|--------|--------|
| Code correctness | Test pass rate, lint/mypy score |
| Requirements coverage | Acceptance criteria hit rate |
| Architecture coherence | LLM rubric: does arch match requirements? |
| Deployment readiness | Docker build success, CI config validity |

### 1.3 Trajectory Quality

Does the agent reach the goal efficiently?

| Signal | Metric |
|--------|--------|
| Phase count | Retries, escalations, human interrupts |
| Tool call efficiency | Redundant reads/writes ratio |
| Guardrail hits | Security / quality blocks per run |
| Hallucination rate | Placeholder / TODO / NotImplementedError in output |

### 1.4 Cost & Latency

| Signal | Metric |
|--------|--------|
| Total cost | `total_cost_usd` (SDK) / token estimate |
| Phase latency | Wall time per phase (seconds) |
| Tokens per file | Output token density |

### 1.5 Guardrail Effectiveness

| Signal | Metric |
|--------|--------|
| True positives | Adversarial inputs correctly blocked |
| False positives | Legitimate code incorrectly blocked |
| Bypass rate | Adversarial inputs that slip through |

---

## 2. Eval Scenarios (Demo Suite)

Scenarios live in `evals/scenarios/`. Each is a JSON file with:

```json
{
  "id": "todo-api-beginner",
  "description": "Build a REST API for a todo list with CRUD operations.",
  "difficulty": "beginner",
  "expected": {
    "files": ["src/app.py", "src/models.py", "tests/test_app.py"],
    "test_pass_rate_min": 0.8,
    "has_dockerfile": true,
    "acceptance_criteria": [
      "GET /todos returns list",
      "POST /todos creates item",
      "DELETE /todos/{id} removes item"
    ]
  },
  "budget_usd_max": 0.50,
  "timeout_seconds": 300
}
```

### Scenario Tiers

| Tier | Examples | Expected cost | Backends |
|------|----------|--------------|---------|
| **Smoke** | Hello-world Flask app | < $0.05 | All |
| **Beginner** | Todo API, simple CLI tool | < $0.30 | All |
| **Intermediate** | Auth service, data pipeline | < $1.00 | All |
| **Advanced** | Microservices + CI/CD | < $3.00 | Claude SDK, LangGraph |

## 3. Backend-Specific Eval Approaches

### 3.1 CrewAI — `crewai.experimental.evaluation`

CrewAI ships an experimental evaluation module (`crewai.experimental.evaluation`) with:
- `AgentEvaluator` / `ExperimentRunner`
- Built-in metrics: `GoalAlignmentEvaluator`, `SemanticQualityEvaluator`, `ToolInvocationEvaluator`, `ReasoningEfficiencyEvaluator`

```python

**Key metrics to track:**
- `GoalAlignmentEvaluator` score ≥ 0.7
- `ToolInvocationEvaluator` score ≥ 0.6 (penalizes redundant calls)
- Test pass rate ≥ 80%
- Cost ≤ scenario budget

## 10. Anthropic-Native Session Tracing (Claude SDK)

The Claude Agent SDK exposes session events directly — use these instead of external frameworks for cost and latency tracking.

```python
# evals/backends/sdk_session_metrics.py
"""Parse Claude SDK session events to extract eval metrics."""
import anthropic


def collect_session_metrics(client: anthropic.Anthropic, session_id: str) -> dict:
    events = list(client.beta.sessions.events.list(session_id))
    input_tokens = output_tokens = 0
    tool_calls = tool_successes = 0
    errors = []

    for event in events:
        match event.type:
            case "session.error":
                errors.append({"type": event.error.type, "msg": event.error.message})
            case "span.model_request_end":
                input_tokens += event.model_usage.input_tokens
                output_tokens += event.model_usage.output_tokens
            case "agent.tool_use":
                tool_calls += 1
            case "agent.tool_result":
                if not getattr(event, "is_error", False):
                    tool_successes += 1

    return {
        "input_tokens": input_tokens,
        "output_tokens": output_tokens,
        "tool_call_count": tool_calls,
        "tool_success_rate": tool_successes / tool_calls if tool_calls else 1.0,
        "error_count": len(errors),
        "errors": errors,
    }
```

Subagent threads can be inspected individually:

```python
for thread in client.beta.sessions.threads.list(session_id):
    print(f"[{thread.agent_name}] status={thread.status}")
    for event in client.beta.sessions.threads.events.list(thread.id, session_id=session_id):
        if event.type == "agent.tool_use":
            print(f"  → tool: {event.name}")
```

## 11. Defining Success Criteria (SMART Framework)

Before writing any eval, define criteria that are **Specific, Measurable, Achievable, Relevant, and Time-bound**.

| Dimension | Example for todo-api-beginner |
|-----------|-------------------------------|
| **Specific** | API returns correct HTTP status codes and JSON shapes |
| **Measurable** | Test pass rate ≥ 0.8; cost ≤ $0.30; wall time ≤ 300s |
| **Achievable** | Based on Sonnet 4.6 capabilities on this task tier |
| **Relevant** | Prevents broken API shipped to demo |
| **Multidimensional** | F1 (code) + cost + latency + guardrail hits |

Store these as acceptance criteria in `evals/scenarios/*.json` so every backend run is scored against the same bar.

---

## 12. Trends & Tools (April 2026)

### Framework landscape

| Tool | Status | Best for | Key change vs 2025 |
|------|--------|----------|--------------------|
| **crewai.experimental.evaluation** | Stable | CrewAI-native agent evals: goal/tool/semantic/reasoning | No major update; already mature |
| **LangSmith** | ⭐ Major update | Trajectory debugging, CI/CD gate, online production evals | 30+ evaluator templates; full trajectory capture of tool calls + intermediate state; online eval in prod |
| **Braintrust** | ⭐ Major update | End-to-end observability, dataset management, CI release enforcement | $80M raised Feb 2026; new $0 Starter tier; unified platform replacing point tools |
| **DeepEval** | Stable | Pytest-native unit/integration LLM tests, G-Eval, hallucination | Stable; no paid platform needed for basic use |
| **Inspect AI (AISI)** | Active | Model-level safety benchmarks (100+ built-in) | Expanded benchmark library; MIT-licensed, free |
| **Claude SDK session events** | Native | Cost/latency/tool tracing for SDK backend | `client.beta.sessions.events`, subagent thread introspection |
| **LLM-as-judge (Claude Opus 4.7)** | Best practice | Acceptance criteria, architecture coherence, code review | Use a *different* model than the system under test to avoid self-serving scores |

### New benchmarks (2025–2026)

| Benchmark | What it tests | Key finding |
|-----------|--------------|-------------|
| **MultiAgentBench** (ArXiv:2503.01935) | Multi-agent collaboration AND competition across coordination topologies (star, chain, tree, graph) | Graph topology outperforms others; single agents sometimes beat MAS on reasoning under fixed token budgets |
| **SWE-Bench Pro** (Scale AI, 2026) | Harder SWE-Bench: tackles data contamination, limited diversity, oversimplified problems | Top models score ~23% vs 70%+ on Verified — real difficulty bar |
| **SWE-Bench Verified v2.0** (Feb 2026) | Upgraded scaffolding, environments, token limits | Claude Mythos Preview leads at 93.9% |
| **SWE-Bench-Live / Windows** (Feb 2026) | Agents in Windows PowerShell with Windows-specific code | First cross-platform agent benchmark |
| **MAS-Orchestra** | 260+ configurations of multi-agent orchestration | MAS benefit ranges from -70% to +80.8% vs single agent — topology selection matters enormously |

### Anthropic-specific eval work (2026)

- **AuditBench** (March 2026): Evaluates alignment auditing techniques across 56 models with implanted hidden behaviors (sycophancy, geopolitical loyalty, etc.). Directly relevant to guardrail eval.
- **Abstractive Red-Teaming**: Tests agents' consistency under adversarial prompting against character specifications — applicable to our PreToolUse hook testing.
- **AI-Resistant Technical Evals** (Jan 2026): Designing evals that resist agent gaming — useful for designing scenarios that can't be gamed by a smart orchestrator.

### Methodology shifts in 2026

**1. Three-layer evaluation model** (new consensus)

Instead of single-pass outcome eval, assess at three layers per run:

| Layer | What to measure |
|-------|----------------|
| **Single-agent** | Full trajectory — tool calls, state transitions, intermediate decisions |
| **Multi-agent** | Coordination patterns, dynamic distribution invariants, topology efficiency |
| **Production** | Policy violation rate < 5%, hallucination rate < 5%, tool call accuracy > 90%, audit completeness 100% |

**2. Pass@k and Pass^k for non-determinism**

- `Pass@k`: probability of ≥ 1 success in k attempts (optimistic — use for "can it ever do this?")
- `Pass^k`: all k attempts succeed (conservative — use for "is it reliable?")

```python
# evals/metrics.py
def pass_at_k(results: list[bool]) -> float:
    """Fraction of k runs that succeeded (at least one)."""
    return 1.0 if any(results) else 0.0

def pass_all_k(results: list[bool]) -> float:
    """Fraction of k runs where ALL succeeded."""
    return 1.0 if all(results) else 0.0

def run_k_times(backend_name: str, scenario: dict, k: int = 3) -> dict:
    from ai_team.backends.registry import get_backend
    import tempfile, pathlib
    results = []
    for _ in range(k):
        with tempfile.TemporaryDirectory() as tmp:
            backend = get_backend(backend_name)
            result = backend.run(scenario["description"], workspace=pathlib.Path(tmp))
            results.append(result.status == "complete")
    return {
        "pass_at_k": pass_at_k(results),
        "pass_all_k": pass_all_k(results),
        "pass_rate": sum(results) / k,
        "k": k,
    }
```

**3. Ideal trajectory deviation**

Define the expected tool call sequence for a scenario, then measure how far the agent deviates:

```python
# evals/trajectory.py
from dataclasses import dataclass

@dataclass
class TrajectorySpec:
    """Expected sequence of tool categories for a scenario."""
    expected_phases: list[str]  # e.g. ["read_requirements", "write_code", "run_tests"]
    max_tool_calls: int
    max_retries: int

def score_trajectory(actual_events: list[dict], spec: TrajectorySpec) -> float:
    tool_count = sum(1 for e in actual_events if e.get("type") == "agent.tool_use")
    retry_count = sum(1 for e in actual_events if "retry" in e.get("type", ""))
    efficiency = 1.0 - min(1.0, max(0.0, (tool_count - spec.max_tool_calls) / spec.max_tool_calls))
    retry_penalty = min(1.0, retry_count / (spec.max_retries + 1))
    return round((efficiency + (1.0 - retry_penalty)) / 2, 3)
```

**4. The 2026 consensus on multi-agent systems**

The MultiAgentBench and MAS-Orchestra research overturns the 2025 default assumption that "more agents = better":

- MAS coordination **helps** on decomposable, parallel tasks (e.g. backend + frontend simultaneously)
- MAS **hurts** on tight-reasoning tasks under fixed token budgets (single agent wins)
- No universal best topology — evaluate orchestration strategy per scenario, not just per backend

Practical implication: our eval suite should include a **single-agent baseline** for every scenario to verify that the multi-agent overhead is actually paying off.

```python
# evals/test_mas_value.py — verify multi-agent adds value over single agent
import pytest
from ai_team.backends.registry import get_backend
from evals.fixtures import load_scenario, score_result

SCENARIO = load_scenario("todo-api-beginner")

@pytest.mark.parametrize("backend", ["crewai", "langgraph", "claude-agent-sdk"])
def test_multi_agent_beats_single_agent_baseline(backend, tmp_path):
    """MAS should outperform or match a single-agent run on this scenario."""
    multi = get_backend(backend).run(SCENARIO["description"], workspace=tmp_path / "multi")
    single = get_backend(backend).run(
        SCENARIO["description"],
        workspace=tmp_path / "single",
        single_agent_mode=True,  # backend-specific flag to disable subagent spawning
    )
    multi_score = score_result(multi, SCENARIO)
    single_score = score_result(single, SCENARIO)
    # Multi-agent must not be dramatically worse (allow 10% headroom for cost/latency)
    assert multi_score["quality"] >= single_score["quality"] * 0.9, (
        f"{backend}: MAS quality {multi_score['quality']:.2f} < single {single_score['quality']:.2f}"
    )
    assert multi_score["cost_usd"] <= single_score["cost_usd"] * 2.0, (
        f"{backend}: MAS costs {multi_score['cost_usd']:.3f} — 2× single agent, not worth it"
    )

---

## 13. Role-Specific Evals

### The Gap

All 5 existing demos (`01_hello_world` → `05_microservices`) exercise the **full pipeline on backend/API scenarios only**. We have no evals that isolate or stress individual agent roles. The table below maps what exists vs. what the research says is now benchmarkable:

| Role / Domain | Existing coverage | External benchmark | Gap |
|---------------|------------------|--------------------|-----|
| Backend dev (API / service) | 5/5 demos | SWE-bench Pro, BigCodeBench | Strong — needs harder scenarios |
| DevOps / CI-CD | Deployment phase only | **DevOps-Gym** (Jan 2026, 700+ tasks) | Missing standalone DevOps eval |
| Cloud IaC (Terraform/CF/CDK) | Docker only | **Multi-IaC-Eval**, **DPIaC-Eval** | Missing IaC scenario |
| QA / test generation | Testing phase only | **ULT benchmark** | Missing QA-agent-only eval |
| Security / code review | Guardrail unit tests | **RealVuln**, **AgenticSCR** | Missing security-review scenario |
| Architecture / planning | Planning phase only | C4 architecture benchmark | Missing planning-only eval |
| Frontend | None | FullStack-Agent | Missing frontend scenario |
| Requirements gathering | None | None (gap in field too) | Missing + no good benchmark |
| Technical debt / refactoring | None | None (gap in field too) | Missing + no good benchmark |

### 13.1 DevOps / CI-CD Eval

**External reference:** DevOps-Gym (ArXiv:2601.20882) — 700+ tasks across build/config, monitoring, issue resolution, test generation. Key finding: SOTA models fail most on monitoring and issue resolution.

**Still missing (no good external benchmark yet):**
- `frontend-react-intermediate` — FullStack-Agent paper emerging but no stable benchmark
- `requirements-gathering` — no field benchmark found; pure LLM-judge
- `technical-debt-refactoring` — no benchmark found; gap in the field
- `api-design-rest` — no benchmark found; gap in the field
