Prompt and hosted agents get +answer-quality judges, `context` rows add the RAG set, and tool rows add the +tool-use set. + +Run `agentops eval init` after you create the dataset to see the recommendation. +For HTTP, model, and other local targets, this is recommendation-only: AgentOps +does not call `azd` or create `eval.yaml`.

That + is intended: a real release should investigate latency and errors before + promoting, even when the candidate's eval scores pass. + +## Trace-to-regression promotion + +The strongest use of observability is turning real production behavior into new +evaluation coverage. Reviewed production traces become new dataset rows, so the +cases your agent actually sees keep getting evaluated on every future run. + +In Foundry, this is the trace-to-dataset flow: sample recent traces, let +intelligent sampling deduplicate and select a representative set, and create an +evaluation dataset from them.

The +evidence pack projects signals you already produce, eval results, baselines, +Doctor findings, workflow files, Foundry continuous-eval, monitoring, and +trace-regression manifests, into one readiness summary. + +| Artifact | Use it for | +|---|---| +| `evidence.json` | The stable machine-readable contract (`version: 1`) for automation. | +| `evidence.md` | The PR and release-review summary, including the Doctor finding rollup. | + +!!! note "Evidence does not add a new gate" + The readiness states `ready`, `ready_with_warnings`, and `blocked` are + projections of existing signals.

The +Doctor emits operational-excellence findings for each of these so gaps are +visible before a release review, not after. + +Generated production workflows append the evidence report to the run summary, so +when a release blocks you can start from the critical and warning finding ids +before opening the full artifact. + +## Cockpit + +The Cockpit is a local web UI for operating an agent day to day.

It reads the same +signals as the Doctor, so what you see matches the gate. + +## Assurance and governance + +Readiness is not only quality and latency.

Troubleshooting](#13-troubleshooting) - -## 1. GitOps Principles - -AgentOps follows GitOps practices where **git is the single source of truth** for both code and operational state: - -- **Declarative configuration** - All pipeline behavior is defined in YAML workflow files checked into the repository. -- **Version-controlled releases** - Every release is traceable to a git tag. No manual version edits. -- **Automated pipelines** - Pushing branches or tags triggers the corresponding workflow automatically. -- **Keyless publishing** - PyPI uploads use Trusted Publishing (OIDC). There is no PyPI API token to store or rotate. -- **Immutable artifacts** - Built packages are uploaded once and reused across pipeline stages (no rebuilds between TestPyPI and PyPI). - -## 2. Branching Model - -AgentOps uses a modified [Git Flow](https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) strategy: - -``` -main ← always production-ready, receives merges from release/* branches - │ -develop ← integration branch, all feature PRs target here - │ - ├── feature/* ← individual features branched from develop - │ - └── release/* ← release preparation, branched from develop when ready to ship -``` - -### Branch Purposes - -| Branch | Purpose | Who creates | Merges into | -| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------- | -| `main` | Production-ready code. Every commit here should be a tagged release. | Maintainers only | - | -| `develop` | Integration branch. All feature work flows through here. | - | `main` (via release branches) | -| `feature/*` | Individual features, bug fixes, or improvements. | Any contributor | `develop` | -| `release/v0.X.Y` | Release stabilization and staging. Triggers TestPyPI pipeline. | Maintainers | `main` | - -### Branch Lifecycle - -``` -1. feature/my-change ──PR──→ develop (contributor) -2. develop ──branch──→ release/v0.2.0 (maintainer, when ready to release) -3. release/v0.2.0 ──PR──→ main (maintainer, after staging validates) -4. main ──tag──→ v0.2.0 (maintainer, publishes to PyPI immediately) -5. main ──merge──→ develop (maintainer, REQUIRED, same sitting as step 4) -6. release/v0.2.0 ──delete── (maintainer, cleanup) -``` - -Steps 4 and 5 are a single unit of work. Leaving `develop` behind `main` corrupts -the next release's CHANGELOG. See -[Step 5: Tag the release and sync develop](#step-5-tag-the-release-and-sync-develop). - -### Branch Protection Rules (Recommended) - -Configure these in **Settings → Branches → Branch protection rules**: - -| Branch | Rules | -| ----------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------ | -| `main` | Require PR, require status checks (CI), require approvals, no force push | -| `develop` | Require PR, require status checks (CI), no force push | -| `release/*` | Require status checks (Staging pipeline), no force push | - -## 3. Development Environment Setup - -### Prerequisites - -- Python 3.11 or later -- [uv](https://docs.astral.sh/uv/) (recommended) or pip -- Git with access to the repository - -### First-Time Setup - -```bash -# 1. Clone the repository -git clone https://github.com/Azure/agentops.git -cd agentops - -# 2. Install uv (if not already installed) -# macOS/Linux: -curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh -# Windows: -powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -c "irm https://astral.sh/uv/install.ps1 | iex" - -# 3. Install the project and dev dependencies -uv sync --group dev - -# 4. Verify the installation -uv run agentops --version -uv run pytest tests/ -x -q -``` - -### Alternative Setup (pip) - -```bash -python -m venv .venv -# Windows: -.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 -# macOS/Linux: -source .venv/bin/activate - -pip install -e . -pip install pytest -agentops --version -python -m pytest tests/ -x -q -``` - -### Verify Your Setup - -After installation, these commands should all succeed: - -```bash -# CLI works -agentops --version # Shows version like 0.1.3.dev6 -agentops --help # Shows available commands - -# Tests pass -uv run pytest tests/ -x -q # All tests should pass - -# Version from git -python -m setuptools_scm # Shows version derived from git tags -``` - -## 4. Development Workflow - -### Creating a Feature - -```bash -# 1. Start from the latest develop -git checkout develop -git pull origin develop - -# 2. Create your feature branch -git checkout -b feature/my-new-feature - -# 3. Make changes, commit, push -# ... edit files ... -uv run pytest tests/ -x -q # Run tests before committing -git add . -git commit -m "feat: add my new feature" -git push origin feature/my-new-feature - -# 4. Open a PR targeting develop -# GitHub will run the CI pipeline automatically -``` - -### PR Requirements - -Before your PR can be merged to `develop`: - -1. **CI pipeline passes** - lint + tests across OS/Python matrix -2. **Code review approved** - at least one reviewer -3. **Architecture rules followed** - see [CONTRIBUTING.md](../CONTRIBUTING.md) -4. **Tests included** - unit tests in `tests/unit/`, integration tests if needed -5. **CHANGELOG updated** - add an entry under `## [Unreleased]` for user-visible changes. The `changelog` CI job enforces this; see [The CHANGELOG guard](#the-changelog-guard) below. - -### After Your PR is Merged - -```bash -# Sync your local develop -git checkout develop -git pull origin develop - -# Delete your feature branch -git branch -d feature/my-new-feature -``` - -## 5. CI Pipeline (Continuous Integration) - -The CI pipeline runs on **every push and PR** to `main` or `develop`. - -**Workflow file**: `.github/workflows/ci.yml` - -### Jobs - -| Job | What it does | Runs on | -| --- | --- | --- | -| **lint** | `ruff check` (linting) + `mypy` (type checking, soft-fail) | Ubuntu, Python 3.11 | -| **changelog** | Fails a PR that changes shipped code without an `## [Unreleased]` entry | Ubuntu, PRs only | -| **test** | `pytest tests/` with JUnit XML output | Matrix: 2 OS × 3 Python versions | -| **coverage** | `pytest --cov` with XML coverage report | Ubuntu, Python 3.13 (after tests pass) | -| **publish-dev** | Build package + publish to TestPyPI (develop pushes only) | Ubuntu, Python 3.12 (after lint + test pass) | -| **verify-dev** | Install from TestPyPI + smoke test (develop pushes only) | Ubuntu, Python 3.12 (after publish-dev) | - -The `publish-dev` and `verify-dev` jobs only run on pushes to `develop` (not on PRs). Every merged PR automatically produces an installable dev build on TestPyPI with a version like `0.1.3.dev12`. - -### Test Matrix - -| OS | Python 3.11 | Python 3.12 | Python 3.13 | -| ------- | ----------- | ----------- | ----------- | -| Ubuntu | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | -| Windows | ✅ | ✅ | ✅ | - -### What CI Catches - -- Syntax and style issues (ruff) -- Type errors (mypy, non-blocking) -- Test failures across platforms -- Import errors or missing dependencies -- Regression in exit code behavior -- User-visible changes shipped without a CHANGELOG entry - -### Viewing CI Results - -1. Go to the **Actions** tab → find the CI run for your PR -2. Click into a failing job to see the error -3. Download test result artifacts if needed - -### The CHANGELOG guard - -`cut-release.yml` does not write changelog content. It inserts a `## [X.Y.Z] - ` heading directly beneath `## [Unreleased]` and nothing more, leaving `[Unreleased]` in place and empty. If no PR wrote anything under `[Unreleased]` during the cycle, the published release section is empty and the release pipeline still goes green. Releases 0.8.4 and 0.8.5 both shipped that way and were backfilled by hand afterwards, between them hiding six bug fixes and six dependency bumps. - -Two jobs now close that gap, both driven by `scripts/check_changelog.py`: - -- The **`changelog`** job in `ci.yml` runs on every PR to `develop`. -- A **`check-unreleased`** step in `cut-release.yml` aborts the release before the branch is created if `[Unreleased]` is empty. `scripts/cut-release.sh` and `scripts/cut-release.ps1` run the same check at the same point, so the local path cannot skip it. - -#### When the PR check requires an entry - -The PR must add a bullet under `## [Unreleased]` when **both** hold: - -1. The diff touches a file that ships. Changes confined to `docs/`, `tests/`, `.github/workflows/`, `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`, `.vscode/`, `media/`, `tombstones/`, or the top-level markdown files never require an entry, whatever the PR is titled. -2. The PR title carries a user-visible conventional-commit type (`feat`, `fix`, `perf`, `revert`), is marked breaking (`feat!:` or a `BREAKING CHANGE` footer), or has no recognisable type at all. A typed `docs:`, `test:`, `ci:`, `build:`, `style:`, `refactor:`, or `chore:` PR is not asked for an entry. - -An untyped title is treated as needing an entry on purpose. A PR that edits shipped code and says nothing about its intent is exactly the case worth a second look. - -#### Where the entry has to go - -The check parses the CHANGELOG diff and resolves each added line to the section it lands in. A bullet added under an already-released heading fails the same as no bullet at all, because `cut-release.yml` only ever promotes `[Unreleased]`. A bare `### Fixed` subheading with no bullet under it does not count either. - -#### Bypassing the check - -Apply the **`no-changelog`** label to the PR. The job then reports why it skipped and passes. Use it for changes that genuinely cannot matter to a user of the published package, and say so in the PR description so the reviewer can disagree. - -#### Dependabot - -Dependabot PRs are exempt. The bot cannot act on a failing check, so requiring an entry would leave every dependency PR red until a human labelled it, which trains everyone to reach for `no-changelog` reflexively. That is not the same as saying dependency bumps do not belong in the changelog: the `cryptography` 48 to 50 and `mcp` 1.27.1 to 1.28.1 bumps in 0.8.5 mattered to readers. Cover them when you cut the release, where one person writes one summary line instead of twelve bots writing twelve. - -Nothing enforces that today. `check-unreleased` only asserts that `[Unreleased]` is non-empty, and a single bullet from any PR satisfies it, so a cycle can still reach a tag with its dependency bumps undocumented. Closing that gap properly means reading the merged Dependabot PRs for the cycle, which is a separate change. - -#### Running it locally - -```bash -# Is the Unreleased section empty? -python scripts/check_changelog.py check-unreleased - -# Would my branch pass the PR check? -PR_TITLE="fix: something" PR_AUTHOR="$USER" PR_LABELS='[]' \ - python scripts/check_changelog.py check-pr --base origin/develop -``` - -## 6. Versioning with setuptools-scm - -AgentOps uses [setuptools-scm](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools-scm) for **fully automatic versioning**. There is **no `version` field in `pyproject.toml`** - the version is derived from git tags at build time. - -### How It Works - -setuptools-scm reads your git history and computes the version: - -| Git state | Example version | Explanation | -| --------------------------------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------- | -| Exactly on tag `v0.2.0` | `0.2.0` | Clean release version | -| 3 commits after `v0.2.0` | `0.2.1.dev3` | Dev version, 3 commits ahead | -| 10 commits after `v0.1.2` on `release/v0.2.0` | `0.1.3.dev10` | Dev version on release branch | - -### Configuration - -In `pyproject.toml`: - -```toml -[build-system] -requires = ["setuptools>=68", "wheel", "setuptools-scm>=8"] - -[project] -dynamic = ["version"] # Version comes from setuptools-scm, not a static field - -[tool.setuptools_scm] -local_scheme = "no-local-version" # Strips +hash suffix (PyPI rejects local versions) -``` - -### Checking the Version - -```bash -# From the installed CLI -agentops --version - -# From setuptools-scm directly -python -m setuptools_scm - -# From Python code -python -c "from agentops import __version__; print(__version__)" -``` - -### Rules - -- **Never add `version = "..."` to `pyproject.toml`** - this will conflict with setuptools-scm. -- **Tags must follow PEP 440** - use `v0.2.0`, not `release-0.2.0` or `0.2.0`. -- **`fetch-depth: 0`** is required in CI checkout steps - setuptools-scm needs the full git history. -- **`pip install -e .` requires `.git`** - editable installs need the git directory present (standard for development). - -## 7. Staging Pipeline (TestPyPI) - -The staging pipeline validates a release candidate by publishing to TestPyPI and verifying the installed package works. - -**Workflow file**: `.github/workflows/staging.yml` - -**Trigger**: Push to any `release/*` branch - -### Pipeline Flow - -```mermaid -flowchart TD - push(["push to release/v0.2.0"]) - build["_build
tests + package
Version: 0.2.1.dev3 (setuptools-scm)"] - publish["publish-testpypi
Upload to TestPyPI (staging environment)
Trusted Publishing (OIDC, no token)"] - verify["verify-testpypi
Install from TestPyPI in fresh environment
agentops --version / --help / init"] - - push --> build --> publish --> verify -``` - -### What Gets Validated - -1. **Tests pass** - the full test suite runs before building -2. **Package builds** - setuptools-scm generates the correct version, wheel and sdist are created -3. **Package uploads** - the built artifacts successfully upload to TestPyPI -4. **Package installs** - `pip install` from TestPyPI resolves all dependencies -5. **CLI works** - `agentops --version` and `--help` run without errors -6. **Init works** - `agentops init` creates the expected workspace files - -### Iterating on a Release Branch - -If staging fails, fix the issue and push again: - -```bash -# On your release/v0.2.0 branch -# ... fix the issue ... -git add . -git commit -m "fix: correct packaging issue" -git push origin release/v0.2.0 -# Staging pipeline re-runs automatically -``` - -Each push generates a new dev version (e.g. `0.2.1.dev4`, `0.2.1.dev5`), so there are no version conflicts on TestPyPI. The `skip-existing: true` flag also prevents failures if the same version is re-uploaded. - -### Manual Verification (Optional) - -After the staging pipeline passes, you can manually test the package: - -```bash -# Install the specific dev version from TestPyPI -pip install "agentops-accelerator==0.2.1.dev3" \ - --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ \ - --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ - -agentops --version -agentops --help - -# Test init in a temp directory -cd $(mktemp -d) -agentops init -ls .agentops/ -``` - -> **Note**: `--extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/` is required so that dependencies (typer, pydantic, ruamel.yaml) resolve from the real PyPI. - -## 8. End-to-End Pipeline Testing - -Before cutting a real release, you can validate the entire pipeline end-to-end using a disposable test branch and tag. This is especially useful when: - -- You've modified any workflow file (`_build.yml`, `staging.yml`, `release.yml`) -- You've changed `pyproject.toml` build configuration -- You've updated setuptools-scm settings -- A new engineer wants to understand the release process hands-on - -### 8.1 Test the Staging Pipeline - -#### Step 1: Create a Test Release Branch - -From the branch that contains your workflow changes (or from `develop`): - -```bash -git checkout develop # or your feature branch with workflow changes -git pull origin develop -git checkout -b release/v0.0.0-test -git push origin release/v0.0.0-test -``` - -This triggers the `staging.yml` workflow automatically. - -#### Step 2: Monitor the Pipeline - -1. Go to **Actions** tab → find the **Staging** workflow run for `release/v0.0.0-test` -2. Watch all 3 jobs: - -``` -Job 1: build / build → Should tests pass? Package build? -Job 2: publish-testpypi → Does TestPyPI upload succeed? -Job 3: verify-testpypi → Can the package install and run? -``` - -3. Click into each job to inspect step-level output -4. If a job fails, read the logs, fix the issue, push again: - -```bash -# Fix and re-push -git add . -git commit -m "fix: correct workflow issue" -git push origin release/v0.0.0-test -# Pipeline re-runs automatically -``` - -#### Step 3: Verify on TestPyPI (Optional) - -Confirm the test package appeared on TestPyPI: - -```bash -# Check the version that was published -python -m setuptools_scm - -# Install and test manually -pip install "agentops-accelerator==$(python -m setuptools_scm)" \ - --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ \ - --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ - -agentops --version -agentops --help - -# Test init -cd $(mktemp -d) -agentops init -ls .agentops/ -``` - -#### Step 4: Clean Up the Test Branch - -```bash -# Delete remote branch -git push origin --delete release/v0.0.0-test - -# Switch back and delete local branch -git checkout develop -git branch -d release/v0.0.0-test -``` - -### 8.2 Test the Full Release Pipeline - -> **There is no safe dry run.** The `publish-pypi` job does not pause, so pushing -> any `v*` tag publishes that version to real PyPI. There is no reject button to -> catch it. PyPI versions cannot be deleted, only yanked, so a throwaway -> `v0.0.0-test.1` tag leaves a permanent artifact on the project page. - -Test everything except the final publish by pushing a `release/v*` branch, which -exercises build → TestPyPI → verify (see [8.1](#81-test-the-staging-pipeline)). -That covers every job the release pipeline runs before `publish-pypi`, using the -same build and the same `pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish` action. - -If you genuinely need to validate `publish-pypi` end to end, add required -reviewers to the `release` environment first (see -[Enabling a real approval gate](#enabling-a-real-approval-gate)). With reviewers -attached, the job pauses and you can reject it. - -#### Verifying the publish path without publishing - -```bash -# Confirm the release environment's protection rules (empty = no gate). -gh api repos/Azure/agentops/environments/release --jq '.protection_rules' - -# Confirm the workflow requests an OIDC token instead of using an API key. -grep -n "id-token\|gh-action-pypi-publish" .github/workflows/release.yml -``` - -Trusted Publishing must also be configured on the PyPI side under -**Manage project → Publishing**, matching the repository, workflow filename, and -environment name. A mismatch there surfaces as a `403` at upload time, after the -tag has already been pushed. - -### 8.3 Quick E2E Test Summary - -| What to test | Command | What to watch | -| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | -| Staging only | `git push origin release/v0.0.0-test` | 3 jobs: build → TestPyPI → verify | -| Full release | `git push origin v0.0.0-test.1` | Publishes to PyPI. No undo. Avoid. | -| Cleanup (branch) | `git push origin --delete release/v0.0.0-test` | Branch removed | -| Cleanup (tag) | `git push origin --delete v0.0.0-test.1 && git tag -d v0.0.0-test.1` | Tag removed, PyPI version remains | - -### 8.4 Testing Workflow Changes on a Feature Branch - -If you're modifying the workflow files on a feature branch (not yet merged to `develop`), you can still test them: - -```bash -# Your workflow changes are on feature/my-ci-changes -git checkout feature/my-ci-changes - -# Create a test release branch directly from your feature branch -git checkout -b release/v0.0.0-test -git push origin release/v0.0.0-test - -# GitHub Actions uses the workflow files from the pushed branch, -# so your modifications are what actually runs -``` - -This is useful because GitHub Actions reads workflow files from the branch being pushed, not from `main` or `develop`. Your modified workflows execute immediately without needing to merge first. - -After testing: - -```bash -# Clean up -git push origin --delete release/v0.0.0-test -git checkout feature/my-ci-changes -git branch -d release/v0.0.0-test -``` - -## 9. Production Release Pipeline (PyPI) - -The production pipeline publishes a final release to PyPI and creates a GitHub Release. - -**Workflow file**: `.github/workflows/release.yml` - -**Trigger**: Push a `v*` tag (e.g. `v0.2.0`) - -### Pipeline Flow - -```mermaid -flowchart TD - tag(["push tag v0.2.0"]) - build["_build

Verify for yourself: -> -> ```bash -> gh api repos/Azure/agentops/environments --jq '.environments[] | {name, protection_rules}' -> ``` -> -> PyPI does not allow re-uploading a version, so a bad release can only be -> yanked, never replaced. Do all your verification on TestPyPI (staging) before -> you tag. See [Enabling a real approval gate](#enabling-a-real-approval-gate) -> if you want the pipeline to stop for a human. - -### Step-by-Step: Cutting a Release - -#### Step 1: Cut the Release (One-Click) - -1. Go to the **Actions** tab → select **Cut Release** workflow -2. Click **Run workflow** -3. Enter the version (e.g. `0.2.0`) - no `v` prefix -4. Click **Run workflow** - -The workflow automatically: -- Creates `release/v0.2.0` from `develop` -- Updates `CHANGELOG.md` (adds versioned section `[0.2.0] - YYYY-MM-DD`) -- Pushes the branch (triggers [staging pipeline](#7-staging-pipeline-testpypi)) -- Opens a PR: `release/v0.2.0` → `main` - -> **Alternative (manual)**: If you prefer to create the release branch locally: -> ```bash -> git checkout develop && git pull origin develop -> git checkout -b release/v0.2.0 -> # Edit CHANGELOG.md manually -> git commit -m "chore: prepare release 0.2.0" -> git push origin release/v0.2.0 -> ``` - -#### Step 2: Wait for Staging - -The branch push triggers the staging pipeline automatically. Wait for it to pass. - -#### Step 3: Monitor Staging - -1. Go to **Actions** tab → find the **Staging** workflow run -2. Verify all 3 jobs pass: - - ✅ `build / build` - tests pass, package builds - - ✅ `publish-testpypi` - uploaded to TestPyPI - - ✅ `verify-testpypi` - installed and smoke-tested - -If any job fails, fix the issue on the release branch and push. The pipeline re-runs automatically. - -#### Step 4: Merge to Main - -Create a PR from `release/v0.2.0` → `main` (or use the one already opened by Cut Release): - -1. Go to GitHub → **Pull Requests** → **New Pull Request** -2. Base: `main` ← Compare: `release/v0.2.0` -3. Title: `Release v0.2.0` -4. Get the required reviews and merge - -#### Step 5: Tag the release **and** sync `develop` - -These are one step, not two. Tagging publishes to PyPI; syncing `develop` keeps -the next release's CHANGELOG correct. Run all of it in one sitting. - -```bash -# 1. Tag main. This publishes to PyPI with no approval prompt. -git checkout main -git pull origin main -git tag v0.2.0 -git push origin v0.2.0 - -# 2. Immediately sync main back into develop. -git checkout develop -git pull origin develop -git merge main -git push origin develop - -# 3. Verify the sync. This MUST print nothing. -git fetch origin -git log --oneline origin/develop..origin/main -``` - -If step 3 prints any commits, `develop` is behind `main` and the next release -will be built from a stale CHANGELOG. Fix it before you walk away. - -**Why skipping the sync corrupts the next release.** `cut-release.yml` branches -from `develop` and rewrites the changelog by replacing the `## [Unreleased]` -marker exactly once, so everything under `Unreleased` becomes the new version's -content. When `develop` is behind `main`: - -- `develop` still carries entries that already shipped, so they get republished - under the new version. -- `develop` has no `## [0.2.0]` heading at all, so merging the next release PR - into `main` **deletes the `[0.2.0]` section** from the published changelog. - -**If you already skipped it**, do not trust a plain `git merge main`. Git places -the incoming `## [0.2.0] - ` heading above the unreleased entries that -`develop` accumulated in the same spot, which nests new unreleased work inside an -already-published version. The result is valid Markdown and easy to miss in -review. Open `CHANGELOG.md` after the merge and confirm that everything under -`## [Unreleased]` is genuinely unreleased before pushing. - -#### Step 6: Watch the release pipeline - -1. Go to **Actions** tab → find the **Release** workflow run for `v0.2.0` -2. The pipeline runs build → TestPyPI → verify → **publish-pypi** → github-release -3. `publish-pypi` does not pause. It publishes to PyPI via - [Trusted Publishing](https://docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishers/) using the - workflow's OIDC identity, so there is no API token to rotate -4. `github-release` then creates a GitHub Release with the built artifacts and - auto-generated release notes - -If the run fails after `publish-pypi` succeeded, the package is already on PyPI. -Fix forward with a new patch version rather than retrying the tag. - -##### Enabling a real approval gate - -The `release` environment exists and is referenced by the workflow, but it has no -reviewers attached, so it is a label rather than a gate. To make the pause real, -a repo admin adds required reviewers: - -**Settings → Environments → `release` → Required reviewers**, then confirm: - -```bash -gh api repos/Azure/agentops/environments/release --jq '.protection_rules' -``` - -Once reviewers exist, `publish-pypi` stops on **"Waiting for review"** and a -reviewer approves via **Review deployments → release → Approve and deploy**. No -workflow change is needed; `environment: release` is already declared. - -#### Step 7: Delete the release branch - -```bash -git push origin --delete release/v0.2.0 -git branch -d release/v0.2.0 -``` - -#### Step 8: Verify the Published Package - -```bash -# Install from PyPI -pip install agentops-accelerator==0.2.0 - -# Verify -agentops --version # Should show 0.2.0 -agentops --help -``` - -Check the published package: -- PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/agentops-accelerator/0.2.0/ -- GitHub Release: https://github.com/Azure/agentops/releases/tag/v0.2.0 - -## 10. Infrastructure Setup - -This section covers one-time setup required before the pipelines can run. - -### 10.1 GitHub Environments - -Create two environments in **Settings → Environments → New environment**: - -#### `staging` Environment - -- **Purpose**: Controls access to TestPyPI publishing -- **Protection rules**: None -- **Secrets**: None. `staging.yml` requests `id-token: write` and uploads via Trusted Publishing. - -#### `release` Environment - -- **Purpose**: Scopes the PyPI publish to a named environment for Trusted Publishing -- **Protection rules**: **None today.** The environment is declared by `release.yml` - but has no reviewers, so `publish-pypi` runs without pausing. To turn it into a - real gate, add required reviewers (see - [Enabling a real approval gate](#enabling-a-real-approval-gate)). -- **Deployment branches**: Optionally restrict to `main` branch and `v*` tags -- **Secrets**: None. `VSCE_PAT` is a **repository** secret, not an environment secret, - so it resolves in both `staging.yml` and `release.yml` without being attached here. - -#### Repository secrets - -| Secret | Value | How to get it | -| ------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | -| `VSCE_PAT` | VS Code Marketplace PAT with **Marketplace: Manage** | [dev.azure.com](https://dev.azure.com) → User settings → Personal access tokens | -| `RELEASE_PAT`| PAT used by `cut-release.yml` to open the release PR | GitHub → Settings → Developer settings → Personal access tokens | - -No PyPI API token is stored.

There -are no API tokens to create, store, or rotate. - -Configure it once per index, on the index side: - -#### TestPyPI (Staging) - -1. Log in at [test.pypi.org](https://test.pypi.org/) (a separate account from PyPI) -2. Go to the project → **Manage → Publishing → Add a new publisher → GitHub** -3. Owner `Azure`, repository `agentops`, workflow `staging.yml`, environment `staging` - -#### PyPI (Production) - -1. Log in at [pypi.org](https://pypi.org/) -2. Go to the project → **Manage → Publishing → Add a new publisher → GitHub** -3. Owner `Azure`, repository `agentops`, workflow `release.yml`, environment `release` - -The workflow filename and environment name must match exactly. A mismatch fails -at upload time with `403 Invalid or non-existent authentication information`, -which on the release pipeline happens *after* the tag is already pushed. - -> **Note**: TestPyPI and PyPI are completely separate systems with separate accounts and namespaces. A publisher configured on one does not apply to the other. - -### 10.3 First-Time Package Registration - -Trusted Publishing cannot create a project that does not exist yet. For a brand -new project name, either upload once manually with a temporary API token, or use -[PyPI's pending publisher](https://docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishers/creating-a-project-through-oidc/) -flow to reserve the name for the workflow. `agentops-accelerator` is already -registered on both indexes, so this only matters if the package is renamed. - -## 11.

GitOps Principles + +AgentOps follows GitOps practices where **git is the single source of truth** for both code and operational state: + +- **Declarative configuration** - All pipeline behavior is defined in YAML workflow files checked into the repository. +- **Version-controlled releases** - Every release is traceable to a git tag. No manual version edits. +- **Automated pipelines** - Pushing branches or tags triggers the corresponding workflow automatically. +- **Keyless publishing** - PyPI uploads use Trusted Publishing (OIDC). There is no PyPI API token to store or rotate. +- **Immutable artifacts** - Built packages are uploaded once and reused across pipeline stages (no rebuilds between TestPyPI and PyPI). + +## 2. Branching Model + +AgentOps uses a modified [Git Flow](https://nvie.com/posts/a-successful-git-branching-model/) strategy: + +``` +main ← always production-ready, receives merges from release/* branches + │ +develop ← integration branch, all feature PRs target here + │ + ├── feature/* ← individual features branched from develop + │ + └── release/* ← release preparation, branched from develop when ready to ship +``` + +### Branch Purposes + +| Branch | Purpose | Who creates | Merges into | +| ---------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------- | ----------------------------- | +| `main` | Production-ready code. Every commit here should be a tagged release. | Maintainers only | - | +| `develop` | Integration branch. All feature work flows through here. | - | `main` (via release branches) | +| `feature/*` | Individual features, bug fixes, or improvements. | Any contributor | `develop` | +| `release/v0.X.Y` | Release stabilization and staging.

Go to the **Actions** tab → find the CI run for your PR +2. Click into a failing job to see the error +3. Download test result artifacts if needed + +### The CHANGELOG guard + +`cut-release.yml` does not write changelog content. It inserts a `## [X.Y.Z] - ` heading directly beneath `## [Unreleased]` and nothing more, leaving `[Unreleased]` in place and empty. If no PR wrote anything under `[Unreleased]` during the cycle, the published release section is empty and the release pipeline still goes green. Releases 0.8.4 and 0.8.5 both shipped that way and were backfilled by hand afterwards, between them hiding six bug fixes and six dependency bumps. + +Two jobs now close that gap, both driven by `scripts/check_changelog.py`: + +- The **`changelog`** job in `ci.yml` runs on every PR to `develop`. +- A **`check-unreleased`** step in `cut-release.yml` aborts the release before the branch is created if `[Unreleased]` is empty. `scripts/cut-release.sh` and `scripts/cut-release.ps1` run the same check at the same point, so the local path cannot skip it. + +#### When the PR check requires an entry + +The PR must add a bullet under `## [Unreleased]` when **both** hold: + +1. The diff touches a file that ships. Changes confined to `docs/`, `tests/`, `.github/workflows/`, `.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/`, `.vscode/`, `media/`, `tombstones/`, or the top-level markdown files never require an entry, whatever the PR is titled. +2. The PR title carries a user-visible conventional-commit type (`feat`, `fix`, `perf`, `revert`), is marked breaking (`feat!:` or a `BREAKING CHANGE` footer), or has no recognisable type at all. A typed `docs:`, `test:`, `ci:`, `build:`, `style:`, `refactor:`, or `chore:` PR is not asked for an entry. + +An untyped title is treated as needing an entry on purpose. A PR that edits shipped code and says nothing about its intent is exactly the case worth a second look. + +#### Where the entry has to go + +The check parses the CHANGELOG diff and resolves each added line to the section it lands in. A bullet added under an already-released heading fails the same as no bullet at all, because `cut-release.yml` only ever promotes `[Unreleased]`. A bare `### Fixed` subheading with no bullet under it does not count either. + +#### Bypassing the check + +Apply the **`no-changelog`** label to the PR. The job then reports why it skipped and passes. Use it for changes that genuinely cannot matter to a user of the published package, and say so in the PR description so the reviewer can disagree. + +#### Dependabot + +Dependabot PRs are exempt. The bot cannot act on a failing check, so requiring an entry would leave every dependency PR red until a human labelled it, which trains everyone to reach for `no-changelog` reflexively. That is not the same as saying dependency bumps do not belong in the changelog: the `cryptography` 48 to 50 and `mcp` 1.27.1 to 1.28.1 bumps in 0.8.5 mattered to readers. Cover them when you cut the release, where one person writes one summary line instead of twelve bots writing twelve. + +Nothing enforces that today. `check-unreleased` only asserts that `[Unreleased]` is non-empty, and a single bullet from any PR satisfies it, so a cycle can still reach a tag with its dependency bumps undocumented.

Versioning with setuptools-scm + +AgentOps uses [setuptools-scm](https://github.com/pypa/setuptools-scm) for **fully automatic versioning**. There is **no `version` field in `pyproject.toml`** - the version is derived from git tags at build time. + +### How It Works + +setuptools-scm reads your git history and computes the version: + +| Git state | Example version | Explanation | +| --------------------------------------------- | --------------- | ----------------------------- | +| Exactly on tag `v0.2.0` | `0.2.0` | Clean release version | +| 3 commits after `v0.2.0` | `0.2.1.dev3` | Dev version, 3 commits ahead | +| 10 commits after `v0.1.2` on `release/v0.2.0` | `0.1.3.dev10` | Dev version on release branch | + +### Configuration + +In `pyproject.toml`: + +```toml +[build-system] +requires = ["setuptools>=68", "wheel", "setuptools-scm>=8"] + +[project] +dynamic = ["version"] # Version comes from setuptools-scm, not a static field + +[tool.setuptools_scm] +local_scheme = "no-local-version" # Strips +hash suffix (PyPI rejects local versions) +``` + +### Checking the Version + +```bash +# From the installed CLI +agentops --version + +# From setuptools-scm directly +python -m setuptools_scm + +# From Python code +python -c "from agentops import __version__; print(__version__)" +``` + +### Rules + +- **Never add `version = "..."` to `pyproject.toml`** - this will conflict with setuptools-scm. +- **Tags must follow PEP 440** - use `v0.2.0`, not `release-0.2.0` or `0.2.0`. +- **`fetch-depth: 0`** is required in CI checkout steps - setuptools-scm needs the full git history. +- **`pip install -e .` requires `.git`** - editable installs need the git directory present (standard for development). + +## 7. Staging Pipeline (TestPyPI) + +The staging pipeline validates a release candidate by publishing to TestPyPI and verifying the installed package works. + +**Workflow file**: `.github/workflows/staging.yml` + +**Trigger**: Push to any `release/*` branch + +### Pipeline Flow + +```mermaid +flowchart TD + push(["push to release/v0.2.0"]) + build["_build

The `skip-existing: true` flag also prevents failures if the same version is re-uploaded. + +### Manual Verification (Optional) + +After the staging pipeline passes, you can manually test the package: + +```bash +# Install the specific dev version from TestPyPI +pip install "agentops-accelerator==0.2.1.dev3" \ + --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ \ + --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ + +agentops --version +agentops --help + +# Test init in a temp directory +cd $(mktemp -d) +agentops init +ls .agentops/ +``` + +> **Note**: `--extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/` is required so that dependencies (typer, pydantic, ruamel.yaml) resolve from the real PyPI. + +## 8. End-to-End Pipeline Testing + +Before cutting a real release, you can validate the entire pipeline end-to-end using a disposable test branch and tag. This is especially useful when: + +- You've modified any workflow file (`_build.yml`, `staging.yml`, `release.yml`) +- You've changed `pyproject.toml` build configuration +- You've updated setuptools-scm settings +- A new engineer wants to understand the release process hands-on + +### 8.1 Test the Staging Pipeline + +#### Step 1: Create a Test Release Branch + +From the branch that contains your workflow changes (or from `develop`): + +```bash +git checkout develop # or your feature branch with workflow changes +git pull origin develop +git checkout -b release/v0.0.0-test +git push origin release/v0.0.0-test +``` + +This triggers the `staging.yml` workflow automatically. + +#### Step 2: Monitor the Pipeline + +1. Go to **Actions** tab → find the **Staging** workflow run for `release/v0.0.0-test` +2. Watch all 3 jobs: + +``` +Job 1: build / build → Should tests pass? Package build? +Job 2: publish-testpypi → Does TestPyPI upload succeed? +Job 3: verify-testpypi → Can the package install and run? +``` + +3. Click into each job to inspect step-level output +4. If a job fails, read the logs, fix the issue, push again: + +```bash +# Fix and re-push +git add . +git commit -m "fix: correct workflow issue" +git push origin release/v0.0.0-test +# Pipeline re-runs automatically +``` + +#### Step 3: Verify on TestPyPI (Optional) + +Confirm the test package appeared on TestPyPI: + +```bash +# Check the version that was published +python -m setuptools_scm + +# Install and test manually +pip install "agentops-accelerator==$(python -m setuptools_scm)" \ + --index-url https://test.pypi.org/simple/ \ + --extra-index-url https://pypi.org/simple/ + +agentops --version +agentops --help + +# Test init +cd $(mktemp -d) +agentops init +ls .agentops/ +``` + +#### Step 4: Clean Up the Test Branch + +```bash +# Delete remote branch +git push origin --delete release/v0.0.0-test + +# Switch back and delete local branch +git checkout develop +git branch -d release/v0.0.0-test +``` + +### 8.2 Test the Full Release Pipeline + +> **There is no safe dry run.** The `publish-pypi` job does not pause, so pushing +> any `v*` tag publishes that version to real PyPI. There is no reject button to +> catch it. PyPI versions cannot be deleted, only yanked, so a throwaway +> `v0.0.0-test.1` tag leaves a permanent artifact on the project page. + +Test everything except the final publish by pushing a `release/v*` branch, which +exercises build → TestPyPI → verify (see [8.1](#81-test-the-staging-pipeline)). +That covers every job the release pipeline runs before `publish-pypi`, using the +same build and the same `pypa/gh-action-pypi-publish` action. + +If you genuinely need to validate `publish-pypi` end to end, add required +reviewers to the `release` environment first (see +[Enabling a real approval gate](#enabling-a-real-approval-gate)). With reviewers +attached, the job pauses and you can reject it. + +#### Verifying the publish path without publishing + +```bash +# Confirm the release environment's protection rules (empty = no gate). +gh api repos/Azure/agentops/environments/release --jq '.protection_rules' + +# Confirm the workflow requests an OIDC token instead of using an API key. +grep -n "id-token\|gh-action-pypi-publish" .github/workflows/release.yml +``` + +Trusted Publishing must also be configured on the PyPI side under +**Manage project → Publishing**, matching the repository, workflow filename, and +environment name. A mismatch there surfaces as a `403` at upload time, after the +tag has already been pushed. + +### 8.3 Quick E2E Test Summary + +| What to test | Command | What to watch | +| ---------------------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------ | +| Staging only | `git push origin release/v0.0.0-test` | 3 jobs: build → TestPyPI → verify | +| Full release | `git push origin v0.0.0-test.1` | Publishes to PyPI.

Your modified workflows execute immediately without needing to merge first. + +After testing: + +```bash +# Clean up +git push origin --delete release/v0.0.0-test +git checkout feature/my-ci-changes +git branch -d release/v0.0.0-test +``` + +## 9.

Go to the **Actions** tab → select **Cut Release** workflow +2. Click **Run workflow** +3. Enter the version (e.g. `0.2.0`) - no `v` prefix +4. Click **Run workflow** + +The workflow automatically: +- Creates `release/v0.2.0` from `develop` +- Updates `CHANGELOG.md` (adds versioned section `[0.2.0] - YYYY-MM-DD`) +- Pushes the branch (triggers [staging pipeline](#7-staging-pipeline-testpypi)) +- Opens a PR: `release/v0.2.0` → `main` + +> **Alternative (manual)**: If you prefer to create the release branch locally: +> ```bash +> git checkout develop && git pull origin develop +> git checkout -b release/v0.2.0 +> # Edit CHANGELOG.md manually +> git commit -m "chore: prepare release 0.2.0" +> git push origin release/v0.2.0 +> ``` + +#### Step 2: Wait for Staging + +The branch push triggers the staging pipeline automatically. Wait for it to pass. + +#### Step 3: Monitor Staging + +1. Go to **Actions** tab → find the **Staging** workflow run +2. Verify all 3 jobs pass: + - ✅ `build / build` - tests pass, package builds + - ✅ `publish-testpypi` - uploaded to TestPyPI + - ✅ `verify-testpypi` - installed and smoke-tested + +If any job fails, fix the issue on the release branch and push. The pipeline re-runs automatically. + +#### Step 4: Merge to Main + +Create a PR from `release/v0.2.0` → `main` (or use the one already opened by Cut Release): + +1. Go to GitHub → **Pull Requests** → **New Pull Request** +2. Base: `main` ← Compare: `release/v0.2.0` +3. Title: `Release v0.2.0` +4. Get the required reviews and merge + +#### Step 5: Tag the release **and** sync `develop` + +These are one step, not two. Tagging publishes to PyPI; syncing `develop` keeps +the next release's CHANGELOG correct. Run all of it in one sitting. + +```bash +# 1. Tag main. This publishes to PyPI with no approval prompt. +git checkout main +git pull origin main +git tag v0.2.0 +git push origin v0.2.0 + +# 2. Immediately sync main back into develop. +git checkout develop +git pull origin develop +git merge main +git push origin develop + +# 3. Verify the sync. This MUST print nothing. +git fetch origin +git log --oneline origin/develop..origin/main +``` + +If step 3 prints any commits, `develop` is behind `main` and the next release +will be built from a stale CHANGELOG. Fix it before you walk away. + +**Why skipping the sync corrupts the next release.** `cut-release.yml` branches +from `develop` and rewrites the changelog by replacing the `## [Unreleased]` +marker exactly once, so everything under `Unreleased` becomes the new version's +content. When `develop` is behind `main`: + +- `develop` still carries entries that already shipped, so they get republished + under the new version. +- `develop` has no `## [0.2.0]` heading at all, so merging the next release PR + into `main` **deletes the `[0.2.0]` section** from the published changelog. + +**If you already skipped it**, do not trust a plain `git merge main`. Git places +the incoming `## [0.2.0] - ` heading above the unreleased entries that +`develop` accumulated in the same spot, which nests new unreleased work inside an +already-published version. The result is valid Markdown and easy to miss in +review. Open `CHANGELOG.md` after the merge and confirm that everything under +`## [Unreleased]` is genuinely unreleased before pushing. + +#### Step 6: Watch the release pipeline + +1. Go to **Actions** tab → find the **Release** workflow run for `v0.2.0` +2. The pipeline runs build → TestPyPI → verify → **publish-pypi** → github-release +3. `publish-pypi` does not pause. It publishes to PyPI via + [Trusted Publishing](https://docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishers/) using the + workflow's OIDC identity, so there is no API token to rotate +4. `github-release` then creates a GitHub Release with the built artifacts and + auto-generated release notes + +If the run fails after `publish-pypi` succeeded, the package is already on PyPI. +Fix forward with a new patch version rather than retrying the tag. + +##### Enabling a real approval gate + +The `release` environment exists and is referenced by the workflow, but it has no +reviewers attached, so it is a label rather than a gate. To make the pause real, +a repo admin adds required reviewers: + +**Settings → Environments → `release` → Required reviewers**, then confirm: + +```bash +gh api repos/Azure/agentops/environments/release --jq '.protection_rules' +``` + +Once reviewers exist, `publish-pypi` stops on **"Waiting for review"** and a +reviewer approves via **Review deployments → release → Approve and deploy**. No +workflow change is needed; `environment: release` is already declared. + +#### Step 7: Delete the release branch + +```bash +git push origin --delete release/v0.2.0 +git branch -d release/v0.2.0 +``` + +#### Step 8: Verify the Published Package + +```bash +# Install from PyPI +pip install agentops-accelerator==0.2.0 + +# Verify +agentops --version # Should show 0.2.0 +agentops --help +``` + +Check the published package: +- PyPI: https://pypi.org/project/agentops-accelerator/0.2.0/ +- GitHub Release: https://github.com/Azure/agentops/releases/tag/v0.2.0 + +## 10.

For a brand +new project name, either upload once manually with a temporary API token, or use +[PyPI's pending publisher](https://docs.pypi.org/trusted-publishers/creating-a-project-through-oidc/) +flow to reserve the name for the workflow. `agentops-accelerator` is already +registered on both indexes, so this only matters if the package is renamed. + +## 11.

Once your agent is shipped and the gate is green, +operating means making it better over time, not just keeping it from regressing. +When the [operating loop](operate.md#the-operating-loop) shows weak grounding or +off-topic answers, the root cause is often retrieval: the agent answered from the +wrong chunks. This page shows how to measure and tune retrieval quality directly, +using the Foundry [Document Retrieval evaluator](https://learn.microsoft.com/azure/foundry/concepts/evaluation-evaluators/rag-evaluators#document-retrieval). + +## Where this fits + +The smoke gate in the [HTTP agent tutorial](tutorial-http-agent.md) already scores +two RAG signals on every PR: + +- **Groundedness**: is the answer supported by what was retrieved. +- **Retrieval**: are the retrieved chunks relevant to the question. + +Both are LLM-judge metrics on a 1 to 5 scale and need no ground truth, so they +guard the gate cheaply. They tell you *that* retrieval is weak. They do not tell +you *how to fix it*, and they cannot compare two search configurations +objectively. + +Document Retrieval is the tuning tool. It scores the *ranking* of your retrieved +documents against relevance labels you author by hand (qrels) and returns +position-aware metrics like NDCG. You run it offline, on a small labeled query +set, whenever you change a search parameter and want to know if retrieval +actually improved. + +!!! note "Why this is not a PR gate" + Document Retrieval needs hand-labeled ground truth, returns composite metrics + instead of a single pass/fail score, and its labels reference specific chunk + ids. Rebuilding the index can change those ids and invalidate the labels. That + is fine for a deliberate tuning study, but too brittle to run green on every + commit. Keep Groundedness and Retrieval on the gate, and use Document + Retrieval here, on demand. + +## Prerequisites + +You need grey-box mode enabled so the agent returns the documents it retrieved. +This is the same `X-Eval-Context` contract set up in +[step 11 of the HTTP agent tutorial](tutorial-http-agent.md#11-score-live-retrieval). +With it on, a request returns the ranked retrieval alongside the answer: + +```json +{ + "answer": "...", + "context": "...", + "retrieved_documents": [ + { "id": "documents-vw-fuel-system-pdf-c00002", "score": 0.71, "title": "...", "content": "..." }, + { "id": "documents-vw-fuel-system-pdf-c00001", "score": 0.55, "title": "...", "content": "..." } + ] +} +``` + +You also need the evaluator SDK: + +```powershell +pip install azure-ai-evaluation +``` + +## The two shapes you map + +The orchestrator and the evaluator describe documents differently, so you map one +to the other. + +| Concept | Orchestrator returns | Document Retrieval expects | +|---|---|---| +| A retrieved chunk | `{ "id": ..., "score": ... }` | `{ "document_id": ..., "relevance_score": ... }` | +| A relevance label (qrels) | you author it | `{ "document_id": ..., "query_relevance_label": 0..4 }` | + +`relevance_score` is the retriever's own confidence (used to rank). The +`query_relevance_label` is *your* judgment of how relevant the chunk truly is, +from `0` (irrelevant) to `4` (perfect). Document Retrieval compares the ranking +the retriever produced against the ranking your labels imply. + +## Step 1: capture the live retrieval + +Call the agent once per query you want to study and keep the `retrieved_documents` +list. Map it to the evaluator shape. + +```python +import os, requests + +ENDPOINT = os.environ["ORCHESTRATOR_URL"] # .../orchestrator +QUERY = "What is the fuel pump rating?" + +resp = requests.post( + ENDPOINT, + headers={"Content-Type": "application/json", "X-Eval-Context": "true"}, + json={"ask": QUERY}, + timeout=120, +).json() + +retrieved_documents = [ + {"document_id": d["id"], "relevance_score": d["score"]} + for d in resp["retrieved_documents"] +] +``` + +## Step 2: author the qrels + +For each query, label the chunks you care about. You do not have to label every +chunk in the index, only the ones that matter for this question. Look at the +`content` of each retrieved chunk and decide how relevant it is. + +```python +retrieval_ground_truth = [ + {"document_id": "documents-vw-fuel-system-pdf-c00002", "query_relevance_label": 4}, + {"document_id": "documents-vw-fuel-system-pdf-c00001", "query_relevance_label": 2}, + {"document_id": "documents-vw-brakes-pdf-c00007", "query_relevance_label": 0}, +] +``` + +!!! tip "Keep qrels small and stable" + A handful of well-labeled queries beats a large noisy set. Store the labels + next to your dataset and treat them as ground truth you maintain. Because the + ids are tied to your index, re-check the labels after any reindex or chunking + change. + +## Step 3: run the evaluator + +```python +from azure.ai.evaluation import DocumentRetrievalEvaluator + +evaluator = DocumentRetrievalEvaluator( + ground_truth_label_min=0, + ground_truth_label_max=4, +) + +result = evaluator( + retrieval_ground_truth=retrieval_ground_truth, + retrieved_documents=retrieved_documents, +) +print(result) +``` + +## Step 4: read the metrics + +Document Retrieval returns a set of ranking metrics, not a single score. These are +the ones you will use most. + +| Metric | What it tells you | Direction | +|---|---|---| +| `ndcg@3` | ranking quality in the top 3, rewarding relevant chunks near the top | higher is better | +| `xdcg@3` | like NDCG but weights the very top results more heavily | higher is better | +| `fidelity` | how much of the truly relevant set the retriever managed to surface | higher is better | +| `top1_relevance` | the label of the single best-ranked chunk | higher is better | +| `top3_max_relevance` | the best label found anywhere in the top 3 | higher is better | +| `holes` | retrieved chunks you never labeled, a sign your qrels are incomplete | lower is better | +| `holes_ratio` | holes as a fraction of retrieved chunks | lower is better | + +Pick one headline metric to optimize, usually `ndcg@3`, and watch `holes_ratio` +to make sure your labels still cover what the retriever returns. A rising +`holes_ratio` usually means the index changed and your qrels need a refresh. + +## Step 5: the optimization loop + +Now use it to tune search. Change one thing, re-run the same labeled queries, and +compare the headline metric. + +```mermaid +flowchart LR + B["Baseline
ndcg@3"] --> C["Change one

queries"] + R --> M["Compare
ndcg@3"] + M --> K{"Better?"} + K -->|yes| A["Keep it"] + K -->|no| X["Revert"] + A --> C + X --> C +``` + +Things worth sweeping one at a time: + +- **top-k**: how many chunks the retriever returns. +- **search mode**: keyword, vector, or hybrid, and whether semantic reranking is on. +- **chunk size and overlap**: how the documents were split at ingestion. +- **reranker or filters**: any post-retrieval scoring you apply. + +Keep the change that raises `ndcg@3` without inflating `holes_ratio`. When you are +done, the improvement should show up on the gate too: better ranking feeds better +context, so the LLM-judge **Groundedness** and **Retrieval** scores in your PR +smoke run should rise as well. That is the loop closing, retrieval tuning here, +confirmed by the gate there. + +## Caveats + +- **Labels are index-specific.** The `document_id` values are chunk ids from your + current index. Re-author or re-verify qrels after reindexing or changing chunking. +- **Keep the labeled set focused.** This is a diagnostic and tuning surface, not a + regression suite.

The full set, including + the workflow YAML and the GitHub Environment and OIDC setup, is in + [AgentOps on GitHub Actions](ci-github-actions.md). + +## The two core workflows + +A generated AgentOps scaffold ships a PR gate and per-environment deploy +workflows. The two that matter most early are the PR gate and the dev deploy. + +| Workflow | Trigger | What it does | +|---|---|---| +| `agentops-pr.yml` | PRs to `develop`, `release/**` | Evaluates the PR candidate, runs the Doctor gate, and comments on the PR. | +| `agentops-deploy-dev.yml` | push to `develop` | Evaluates, then builds and deploys to the dev environment. | + +You do not write these by hand. `agentops workflow analyze` reads the repo and +recommends the deploy wiring and eval runner, and `agentops workflow generate` +writes the workflow files from that recommendation. Because both use the same +analysis, the plan and the generated files do not drift. + +!!! note "Generate the PR gate first" + Start with `agentops workflow generate --kinds pr`. Add the dev, qa, and + prod deploys only after GitHub Environments and Azure OIDC are ready. This + keeps your first green run small and avoids wiring deploy steps before the + gate works. + +## Candidate versioning + +For Foundry prompt agents, each deploy stages a **candidate version** from your +source-controlled `prompt_file` before evaluating it. PR-run candidates are +tagged in Foundry with `agentops:candidate=true` plus the PR number and a +timestamp, so portal viewers can tell abandoned PR candidates apart from +deployed versions of record. + +The deployed-of-record version is tracked in `foundry-agent.json`, written per +environment as a workflow artifact after the gate passes. That file, not the +Foundry version number, is the supported way to know what each environment runs. + +!!! info "Prompt SHA and git SHA are the durable identity" + Foundry version numbers are local to each project, so sandbox + `travel-agent:2` may not match the dev or prod number. AgentOps instead + records `agentops.prompt_sha256` (the prompt text) and `agentops.git_sha` + (the commit) on every version and in `foundry-agent.json`. To check whether + two environments run the same prompt, compare those SHAs, not the version + numbers. + +This is the invariant the whole flow protects: the evaluated agent version is +the deployed agent version. Foundry manages the candidate versions; AgentOps +supplies the gate, the deployment record, and Cockpit visibility. + +## Why use a candidate + +The PR gate validates the proposed agent before it enters `develop` or a +`release/**` branch. For HTTP agents, that usually means the sandbox endpoint +you configured in the workflow. For Foundry prompt agents, the workflow stages a +throwaway prompt version in sandbox and evaluates that candidate. The dev +project is updated only by the deploy workflow after the PR merges. + +A passing PR gate is evidence that the proposed change is safe to merge. The dev +deploy then promotes the reviewed branch and records the deployed prompt SHA. + +## The Doctor gate in CI + +Every PR run also runs `agentops doctor --evidence-pack` after the eval step. +The eval step is the hard merge gate; the Doctor gate adds readiness checks like +regression detection against the rolling baseline. + +| `--doctor-gate` value | PR behavior | +|---|---| +| `critical` (default) | Blocks the PR on critical findings, including a regression that drops a metric well below baseline even when eval thresholds still pass. | +| `warning` | Also blocks on smaller regression drops. | +| `none` | Doctor still writes and uploads evidence, but does not block; the eval step stays the only hard gate. | + +Production deploy templates always run Doctor with a critical finding gate. To +understand the findings and severities behind these gates, see +[Operate](operate.md) and the [Doctor checks reference](doctor-checks.md). + +## Identity and access + +CI authenticates to Azure with GitHub OIDC and federated credentials, so no +long-lived secrets live in the repo. The same principal needs the right Azure +RBAC roles before the first run, or the eval step fails with null metrics. + +!!! warning "Two roles are required for prompt-agent gates" + The OIDC principal needs **Foundry User** on the Foundry project and + **Cognitive Services OpenAI User** on the AI Services account that hosts the + judge model.

For a more realistic setup, this can also be a Foundry Hosted Agent or ACA revision shared by the team (or per-stream/per-developer if your team prefers that). | Author-side experimentation. Iterate, regress, fix, and validate with `agentops eval run` locally. No shared-with-CI blast radius. | -| **dev** | A deployed Foundry Hosted Agent, Azure Container Apps revision, AKS service, or any HTTPS endpoint reachable from CI. | Team-shared environment. The PR workflow evaluates this URL to verify it is still healthy. Deploy workflows (or your existing CI) update it on merge. | - -Each environment maps to its own `.azure//.env` file with its own -`TRAVEL_AGENT_ENDPOINT` (and optional Foundry project endpoint for -observability). The sandbox is the default; dev is added once the tutorial -moves into CI. - -### The promotion identity for hosted agents - -The prompt-agent tutorial uses **prompt SHA-256** + **git SHA** as the -cross-environment identity. Hosted agents don't have a `prompt_file`, so -the identity story is even simpler: - -``` -git commit SHA (and container image tag, if you containerize) - │ - └─ cross-environment identity - │ - ├── sandbox endpoint (your localhost or dev-machine deploy) - ├── dev endpoint (https://travel-agent-dev.example.com) - ├── qa endpoint (https://travel-agent-qa.example.com) - └── prod endpoint (https://travel-agent.example.com) -``` - -> **The cross-environment identifier for hosted agents is the git commit -> SHA, and (when you containerize) the image tag derived from it.** Each -> environment's endpoint URL changes; what you cite when traceability -> matters is the SHA that produced the deployed code.

If you need PR-time regression catching for hosted -> agents, the workflow skill can guide you through adding a per-PR -> ephemeral deploy step (out of scope for this tutorial). The -> sandbox loop (local FastAPI + `agentops eval run`) is the -> equivalent author-side gate. - -Observability needs an App Insights resource connected to the Foundry project or -agent runtime.

Capture Foundry and endpoint values - -You need: - -| Value | Example | -|---|---| -| Agent endpoint | `http://127.0.0.1:8000/chat` for local validation, or `https:///chat` for CI | -| Request field | `message` | -| Response field | `text` | -| Bearer token env var | optional, for example `HOSTED_AGENT_TOKEN` | -| Foundry project endpoint | optional, but recommended for links and evaluators | -| Azure OpenAI endpoint | `https://.openai.azure.com`, used later by local AI-assisted evaluators | -| Evaluator model deployment | `gpt-4o-mini`, used later by local AI-assisted evaluators | -| Application Insights connection string | recommended for observability and Doctor links | - -If the deployed endpoint needs a bearer token: - -```powershell -$env:HOSTED_AGENT_TOKEN = "" -``` - -### Grant agent-build and data-plane access to your identity and Foundry managed identities - -The local AI-assisted evaluators that AgentOps runs in step 8 call -chat-completions on the AI Services account that backs your Foundry -project. Creating a project through the portal only assigns you -`Foundry User` **at the project scope**. Creating/building agents in the -Foundry UI can also require `Foundry User` on the parent Foundry / AI Services -resource; some portal screens still use the previous role name, -`Azure AI User`. `Foundry User` also does not cover the OpenAI data-plane action on -the parent account. Even subscription `Owner` is insufficient: the built-in -`Owner` role has `actions: ["*"]` but `dataActions: []`. Skipping the OpenAI -role causes the eval to fail with `PermissionDenied` on -`Microsoft.CognitiveServices/accounts/OpenAI/deployments/chat/completions/action`. - -If your skill/tool already confirmed these role assignments, treat the commands -below as a verification/fallback step. Otherwise, run these assignments once per -AI Services account hosting a Foundry project you will evaluate against. Local -AI-assisted evaluators use your identity, while Foundry-hosted/server-side eval -paths may use Azure AI managed identities from the same resource group. -Assigning only the user can still leave server-side graders failing with -`AuthenticationError`. Replace `` with the resource group you -chose above, for example `rg-agentops-travel-`, and -`` with the parent Foundry / AI Services account name. - -```powershell -$subscriptionId = az account show --query id -o tsv -$resourceGroup = "" -$accountName = "" -$accountScope = az cognitiveservices account show ` - --resource-group $resourceGroup ` - --name $accountName ` - --query id -o tsv -$userObjectId = az ad signed-in-user show --query id -o tsv - -az role assignment create ` - --assignee $userObjectId ` - --role "53ca6127-db72-4b80-b1b0-d745d6d5456d" ` - --scope $accountScope - -az role assignment create ` - --assignee $userObjectId ` - --role "5e0bd9bd-7b93-4f28-af87-19fc36ad61bd" ` - --scope $accountScope - -az resource list -g $resourceGroup ` - --query "[?identity.principalId!=null].identity.principalId" -o tsv | - ForEach-Object { - az role assignment create ` - --assignee-object-id $_ ` - --assignee-principal-type ServicePrincipal ` - --role "5e0bd9bd-7b93-4f28-af87-19fc36ad61bd" ` - --scope $accountScope - } -``` - -> **Give the assignment a few minutes to propagate.** Data-plane role -> assignments on the AI Services account do **not** take effect -> instantly — propagation to the local/Foundry evaluator workers can -> take several minutes (occasionally up to ~15). Evaluators authenticate -> per call, so the **first eval right after granting the role may show -> intermittent `AuthenticationError` on a subset of graders and report -> `Threshold status: FAILED` even when every threshold is green**. This -> is a grader execution failure, not a quality regression — wait a few -> minutes and re-run the eval. - -## 5. Initialize AgentOps interactively - -```powershell -agentops init -``` - -Answer the prompts as the wizard asks them: - -| Prompt | Answer | -|---|---| -| Foundry project endpoint | `https://.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/`, or press Enter if you are only testing the local endpoint | -| Agent | The value in `$env:TRAVEL_AGENT_ENDPOINT`, for example `http://127.0.0.1:8000/chat` | -| Dataset path | `.agentops/data/travel-smoke.jsonl` | - -The wizard does not ask for App Insights. Later runtime commands try to discover -the connected App Insights resource through the Azure AI Projects SDK. If the -project has no resource attached, or your identity cannot read it, run -`agentops init --appinsights-connection-string ""` or set -`APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING` manually in `.agentops/.env`. - -If the first run shows starter defaults such as `Agent [my-agent:1]` or -`Dataset path [.agentops/data/smoke.jsonl]`, replace them with the hosted Travel -Agent values above. Those defaults only come from the scaffolded starter file. - -By default, local Azure values go to `.agentops/.env`. If this repo already uses -`azd`, or you want AgentOps to write to an azd env, run -`agentops init --azd-env `. - -Then edit `agentops.yaml` so AgentOps knows how to call the endpoint: - -```yaml -version: 1 -agent: http://127.0.0.1:8000/chat -dataset: .agentops/data/travel-smoke.jsonl -protocol: http-json -request_field: message -response_field: text -``` - -If your endpoint returns retrieval context or retrieved documents in the same -JSON response as the answer, capture those fields with `response_fields` instead -of relying only on static dataset `context`. In evaluator `input_mapping`, -`$context` still refers to the dataset row, while `$response.context` refers to -the context captured from the live endpoint response. See -[`how-it-works.md`](how-it-works.md) for the full grey-box retrieval example. - -The `.agentops/.env` file is intentional: AgentOps keeps local Azure values out -of source control while eval, Doctor, and Cockpit commands resolve the same -workspace environment. The Foundry project endpoint lives there instead of in -`agentops.yaml`; if you force an App Insights connection string later, it is -saved there too. Existing azd workspaces keep using `.azure//.env`. - -For a deployed endpoint protected by a bearer token, add: - -```yaml -auth_header_env: HOSTED_AGENT_TOKEN -``` - -For a Foundry hosted endpoint that already follows the Responses API shape, use: - -```yaml -protocol: responses -``` - -For a raw Foundry invocations endpoint, use: - -```yaml -protocol: invocations -``` - -## 6. Observe the endpoint in App Insights - -The local FastAPI endpoint is useful for the AgentOps eval loop, but it is not a -Foundry-managed runtime. To make the observability story concrete, add -OpenTelemetry spans that flow to the same App Insights backend Foundry uses for -trace drilldown. - -Install the Azure Monitor OpenTelemetry distro when you reach this step: - -```powershell -python -m pip install azure-monitor-opentelemetry -``` - -Make sure the AgentOps local env has an App Insights connection string. If it -is not present yet, store the value once: - -```powershell -agentops init --appinsights-connection-string "" -``` - -Load that value into the terminal that will run `uvicorn`: - -```powershell -$env:APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING = ( - Get-Content .agentops\.env | - Where-Object { $_ -like "APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING=*" } | - Select-Object -First 1 -) -replace "^APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING=", "" -``` - -Open `app.py` and add these imports after `import os`: - -```python -from azure.monitor.opentelemetry import configure_azure_monitor -from opentelemetry import trace -``` - -Add this after `app = FastAPI(title="Travel Agent")`: - -```python -if os.getenv("APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING"): - configure_azure_monitor() - -tracer = trace.get_tracer("agentops.travel-agent") -``` - -Replace the `/chat` handler with: - -```python -@app.post("/chat") -def chat(request: ChatRequest) -> dict[str, str]: - with tracer.start_as_current_span("travel-agent.chat") as span: - mode = os.getenv("TRAVEL_AGENT_MODE", "normal") - span.set_attribute("travel.agent.mode", mode) - span.set_attribute("travel.query.length", len(request.message)) - response_text = plan_trip(request.message) - span.set_attribute("travel.response.length", len(response_text)) - return {"text": response_text} -``` - -Restart the server and replay the dataset prompts: - -```powershell -@( - "Plan a 3-day first-time trip to Lisbon for a couple who likes food and history.", - "Suggest a low-budget weekend in Seattle for a solo traveler who likes coffee and museums.", - "I want to visit Tokyo for 5 days with two kids.

Generate CI and Doctor evidence - -Generate both the PR and dev deploy workflows with `--doctor-gate critical` -so the PR template fails when Doctor reports critical regression findings. -For hosted agents, the auto-detection path resolves to a placeholder deploy -workflow (or `azd` if `azure.yaml` exists); you customize it with your -existing deploy steps later. - -```powershell -agentops workflow generate ` - --kinds pr,dev ` - --doctor-gate critical ` - --force -agentops doctor --workspace . --evidence-pack -code .agentops\agent\report.md -code .agentops\release\latest\evidence.md -``` - -The generated PR gate reuses the same `agentops.yaml` contract.

For hosted endpoints, `agentops workflow generate` -> auto-detects `azd` or falls back to a placeholder you customize with -> your existing deploy steps (Foundry Toolkit deploy, `azd deploy`, -> ACA revision update, AKS rollout, etc.). - -> **`--doctor-gate critical` is the default and what this tutorial uses.** -> The PR workflow runs `agentops doctor --severity-fail critical`, which -> exits non-zero (and fails the PR check) when Doctor reports any -> critical finding. Use `--doctor-gate warning` to also fail on warnings -> during hardening sprints. Use `--doctor-gate none` to make Doctor -> advisory-only (the pre-`--doctor-gate` behavior). The deploy workflow -> already runs Doctor with `--severity-fail critical`; that part is not -> configurable because production gates should be strict. - -`agentops doctor` can take a few minutes because it checks Azure auth, Foundry -discovery, Azure Monitor/App Insights, local eval history, and repo workflow -evidence.

Warnings are advisory unless strict -pre-flight is enabled; `blocked` means the report has findings to review, not -that Doctor failed. If App Insights is already connected but AgentOps cannot -discover it, run `az login`, confirm Reader on the Foundry project resource -group, or set `APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING` explicitly. - -Use this quick readout while presenting the terminal output: - -| Output | How to explain it | -|---|---| -| `AgentOps pre-flight 4 ok` | The workspace, Azure auth, Foundry project, and App Insights discovery checks are all usable. | -| `Wrote` | The local Doctor diagnostic report was generated. | -| `Release readiness: blocked` | The command succeeded, but the current evidence has findings that block release readiness. | -| `Evidence pack` / `Evidence report` | These are the release-review artifacts to open or attach to the PR/release discussion. | -| `Findings: ...` | This is the severity rollup; critical items are what you discuss first. | -| `Finding summary` | This is the terminal triage list. For hosted endpoints, explain production latency/errors and eval regressions first, then treat workflow, threshold, RAI, and trace-regression warnings as hardening follow-ups. | - -The useful story is the insight list, not the fact that a file was written. -For hosted endpoints, Doctor connects runtime signals and repo readiness: latency -or error findings point to production behavior, regression findings point to eval -quality loss, and operational findings point to the missing release machinery -such as deploy workflows, thresholds, continuous eval, action SHA pinning, and -trace-to-regression feedback. Use critical findings as release blockers and -warnings as the hardening backlog. - -The generated PR gate runs `agentops eval run` against the dev endpoint URL. -Before using that workflow in GitHub Actions or Azure Pipelines, replace any -localhost agent URL with the deployed Foundry Hosted or cloud endpoint (set -`AGENTOPS_AGENT_ENDPOINT` as an Actions variable on the `dev` GitHub environment). -Have the Entra app-registration permission or the admin-provided OIDC values -ready before using a workflow skill to connect the repo to Azure. - -With `--doctor-gate critical` set during workflow generation, the PR workflow's -Doctor step blocks the PR on critical findings (eval thresholds are *also* a -hard gate via the `agentops eval run` exit code). A green PR run means: the dev -endpoint passed eval thresholds **and** Doctor found nothing critical. A -blocked PR means one of those two gates flagged a problem; the PR comment and -the run summary include the Doctor finding summary so the author knows exactly -which findings to address. Use `--doctor-gate warning` if you want warnings to -block too, or `--doctor-gate none` to revert to the pre-`--doctor-gate` -advisory-only behavior. Production deploy workflows always run Doctor as a -critical release gate regardless of the PR setting. - -### Add the dev environment to azd - -The seed workspace created by `agentops init` lives under -`.azure//.env`. For the CI flow to use a separate dev project (or -dev observability target), add a sibling env. AgentOps does this entirely on -the filesystem; no `azd` CLI required: - -```powershell -New-Item -ItemType Directory -Force .azure\dev | Out-Null -@' -AZURE_AI_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT=https://.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/ -APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING= -AZURE_OPENAI_ENDPOINT=https://.openai.azure.com -AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT=gpt-4o-mini -'@ | Set-Content -Encoding utf8 .azure\dev\.env -``` - -Keep `.azure/config.json` pointed at the sandbox env (`defaultEnvironment`) so -local commands default to sandbox; CI passes `--azd-env dev` (or sets the env -explicitly) so it uses dev. The Foundry project endpoint plus the agent URL -(`AGENTOPS_AGENT_ENDPOINT` set as an Actions variable on the `dev` GitHub -environment) together let CI evaluate the deployed dev endpoint and land -results in the dev observability target. - -Use the same workflow-skill handoff pattern as the Prompt Agent tutorial, but -keep the scope to the hosted endpoint: - -```powershell -agentops skills install --platform copilot --force -``` - -Then ask Copilot: - -```text -Use the AgentOps workflow skill to get the generated PR gate running for this -hosted-agent project. - -Create or connect the GitHub repo if needed, set AGENTOPS_AGENT_ENDPOINT in the -`dev` environment to the deployed HTTPS endpoint, wire Azure OIDC and required -Actions variables in the `dev` environment, verify AZURE_TENANT_ID is the tenant -that owns the Entra app registration and its federated credential, and set any -required endpoint token as a secret.

Open Cockpit - -```powershell -agentops cockpit --workspace . -``` - -Cockpit starts a read-only local web server and prints -`http://127.0.0.1:8090` (this is the Cockpit UI port, not your agent's -`:8000`).

Use this as a checklist: + +| Stage | What it means | +|---|---| +| **Deploy to sandbox** | Create the hosted agent, deploy it to a sandbox endpoint, and try it. | +| **Move code** | Keep the agent source in Git, which becomes the source of truth. | +| **Create dev environment** | Leave dev empty. CI reads the AgentOps config and deploys the dev hosted agent from the merged commit. | +| **Block regressions** | CI evaluates the PR candidate against the dev endpoint, applies thresholds, and runs Doctor. Serious regressions stop the PR. | + +### Why the git SHA matters + +Foundry gives each deployed hosted agent a version number that is local to its +project, so sandbox `travel-agent:2` may not match the number in dev, qa, or +prod. The stable identity across environments is the **git commit SHA** that +produced the deployed code, plus the container image tag when you containerize. + +``` +git commit SHA (and container image tag, if you containerize) + │ + └─ cross-environment identity + │ + ├── sandbox endpoint (your team sandbox deploy) + ├── dev endpoint (https://travel-agent-dev.example.com) + ├── qa endpoint (https://travel-agent-qa.example.com) + └── prod endpoint (https://travel-agent.example.com) +``` + +Each environment's endpoint URL changes, but the SHA that produced the running +code stays the same. AgentOps records the git SHA in +`.agentops/results//results.json` and in release evidence, so the +eval result and the source code stay linked across environments. To check +whether dev and prod run the same code, compare git SHAs, not the Foundry +version numbers. + +## 1. Create the workspace + +First, create and activate a workspace folder with its own virtual environment: + +```powershell +mkdir agentops-hosted-quickstart +cd agentops-hosted-quickstart +python -m venv .venv +.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 +``` + +Then install AgentOps and confirm the CLI: + +```powershell +python -m pip install "agentops-accelerator[agent]" +agentops --help +``` + +The `[agent]` extra is what makes `agentops cockpit` work in step 13. Without +it, the CLI installs fine and the eval commands run, but Cockpit raises an +`ImportError`. + +## 2. Install the skills + +Install the AgentOps Copilot skills so your coding agent can read the repo and +propose the GitHub and Azure wiring for you: + +```powershell +agentops skills install +``` + +The skills are optional for the core loop, but they make the CI and OIDC steps +much faster because the agent adapts the generated workflows to your project. + +## 3. Create the hosted agent + +Deploy the Travel Agent through the official Foundry Toolkit path so it runs as +a real Foundry Hosted Agent, not a service on your laptop: + +1. Confirm the Foundry project has a deployed model and the required Hosted Agent permissions for your user or project identity. +2. In VS Code, open the command palette and run `Microsoft Foundry: Create a New Hosted Agent`. +3. Choose a single-agent template, Python or C#, and the model deployment. +4. Give the agent Travel Agent behavior: plan short trips from a free-text request, with a day-by-day itinerary and a few concrete suggestions. +5. Press F5 to debug locally with Agent Inspector and confirm it answers. +6. Run `Microsoft Foundry: Deploy Hosted Agent` from the command palette. +7. Copy the deployed endpoint URL from the Foundry Toolkit or the Foundry portal. + +Store the sandbox endpoint so the AgentOps commands can reach it: + +```powershell +$env:TRAVEL_AGENT_ENDPOINT = "https://.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects//agents//versions/" +``` + +This deployed endpoint is your **sandbox** for the tutorial. Later you add a +separate **dev** endpoint that CI evaluates on every PR. + +## 4. Try the agent + +Send a request to the deployed endpoint to confirm it responds before you wire +evaluation around it. Use the shape your hosted agent expects; a Responses API +hosted agent takes an input string and returns an output message. + +Once you get a sensible itinerary back, you are ready to evaluate it. + +## 5. Create the dataset + +Create a small smoke dataset that AgentOps replays against the endpoint: + +```powershell +mkdir .agentops\data +``` + +Create `.agentops\data\travel-smoke.jsonl` with three cases, one JSON object per +line: + +```json +{"message": "Plan a 3-day first-time trip to Lisbon for a couple who likes food and history."} +{"message": "Suggest a low-budget weekend in Seattle for a solo traveler who likes coffee and museums."} +{"message": "I want to visit Tokyo for 5 days with two kids. What should we do?"} +``` + +Keep the dataset small and safe. It is the input AgentOps sends to the endpoint +on every eval run, so three representative prompts are enough to catch a +regression. + +## 6. Initialize AgentOps + +Run the wizard and point it at the hosted endpoint: + +```powershell +agentops init +``` + +Answer the prompts as the wizard asks them: + +| Prompt | Answer | +|---|---| +| Foundry project endpoint | `https://.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects/` | +| Agent | The value in `$env:TRAVEL_AGENT_ENDPOINT` | +| Dataset path | `.agentops/data/travel-smoke.jsonl` | + +Then edit `agentops.yaml` so AgentOps knows how to call the hosted endpoint. A +Foundry Hosted Agent that follows the Responses API shape uses +`protocol: responses`: + +```yaml +version: 1 +agent: https://.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects//agents//versions/ +dataset: .agentops/data/travel-smoke.jsonl +protocol: responses +``` + +Keep the real Foundry host in that URL. AgentOps decides whether an endpoint is +a Foundry hosted agent by looking at the domain, not the path, and it only +accepts `protocol: responses` for Foundry hosts. Point `agent:` at a domain it +does not recognize and the config is rejected with "non-Foundry URLs must use +protocol 'http-json'". That is the same check described in +[HTTP agents](tutorial-http-agent.md), where `http-json` is the correct +protocol. + +If the deployed endpoint is protected by a bearer token, add the environment +variable that holds it: + +```yaml +auth_header_env: HOSTED_AGENT_TOKEN +``` + +!!! tip "Server-side evaluation of a hosted agent" + A hosted agent can also run server-side in Foundry. Use the endpoint form + that carries the agent reference, then set `execution: cloud`: + + ```yaml + version: 1 + agent: https://.services.ai.azure.com/api/projects//agents//versions/ + dataset: .agentops/data/travel-smoke.jsonl + protocol: responses + execution: cloud + ``` + + AgentOps parses `` and `` out of the URL and builds the + Foundry target from them. Without that `/agents/.../versions/...` segment + pair AgentOps has no agent reference to hand Foundry, so the run is rejected + and you either add the segments or set `agent: :` instead. + Only the name and version are taken from the URL. The run is submitted + against whatever `AZURE_AI_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT` points at, so that + project must be the one holding this agent version. Pointing it at a + different project either fails to resolve the agent or silently resolves a + same-named agent there. + + Cloud runs publish implicitly and land in the New Foundry Evaluations panel. + +The wizard writes local Azure values to `.agentops/.env` so they stay out of +source control while eval, Doctor, and Cockpit commands resolve the same +workspace. The Foundry project endpoint lives there, not in `agentops.yaml`. +Later runtime commands discover the connected App Insights resource through the +Azure AI Projects SDK. If the project has no resource attached, or your identity +cannot read it, run +`agentops init --appinsights-connection-string ""`. + +## 7. Check the selected eval runner + +```powershell +agentops workflow analyze --format text +``` + +For hosted endpoints, AgentOps recommends local eval: + +```text +Recommendation + deploy placeholder + evaluate AgentOps local eval + workflow edits needed - review project-specific build/deploy steps + Copilot skills installed - available for workflow adaptation handoff +``` + +That is expected. A hosted endpoint is evaluated with AgentOps local eval so the +repo can invoke the endpoint, normalize results, apply thresholds, and keep a +stable `results.json` contract, in sandbox and in CI alike. + +## 8. Run a local eval + +Replay the dataset against the sandbox endpoint and score it: + +```powershell +agentops eval run +``` + +AgentOps calls the endpoint for each dataset row, records the responses, applies +the configured evaluators and thresholds, and writes the result under +`.agentops/results//results.json` with the git SHA attached. This is +the same command CI runs on the PR candidate later, so a green run here means +the gate has a working baseline. + +## 9. Observe the endpoint in App Insights + +This is where a hosted agent pays off. Because the Foundry runtime serves the +request, it emits the trace for you. You do not add `configure_azure_monitor` or +manual spans to the agent code. Spend a minute in the observability surfaces: + +| Foundry / Azure surface | What to show | Why it matters | +|---|---|---| +| Hosted agent page | The deployed endpoint that `agentops.yaml` calls. | Connects the repo target to the runtime being observed. | +| Agent Traces | A recent request: Trace ID, the `invoke_agent` span, input and output, latency, the model call, and tool calls when present. | The server-side trace an HTTP sample cannot emit for free. | +| Operate overview | Aggregate latency, failures, and usage, plus Ask AI when available. | Shows service health beyond one request. | +| Application Insights Logs | KQL for the same operation or trace ID. | The raw Azure Monitor drilldown path. | + +To pull the same request from Application Insights **Logs**, filter on the +operation and wait a couple of minutes if telemetry is not visible yet: + +```kusto +dependencies +| where timestamp > ago(1h) +| where name has "invoke_agent" +| project timestamp, operation_Id, name, duration, customDimensions +| order by timestamp desc +``` + +The division of labor is the same as the prompt-agent tutorial: Foundry and +Azure Monitor run live observability; AgentOps checks whether those signals are +wired into eval gates, Doctor findings, Cockpit, and release evidence. + +## 10. Force a regression, compare, then fix it + +Prove the gate works. First keep the good run as a baseline. Every run writes a +`results.json` under `.agentops/results//`, so note the directory from +your last passing run. + +Then change the agent behavior so an answer gets worse (for example, drop the +day-by-day itinerary from the instructions), redeploy it to sandbox, and rerun +the eval against that baseline: + +```powershell +agentops eval run --baseline .agentops/results//results.json +``` + +The report shows the delta between the good baseline and the regressed run, per +metric, alongside the thresholds. Restore the itinerary behavior, redeploy, and +run `agentops eval run` again to confirm the score recovers. + +!!! warning "`--baseline` reports, thresholds gate" + The exit code comes from your thresholds alone. A run that regressed + against the baseline but still clears every threshold exits `0` and CI + passes. Treat the delta as a review signal, and set thresholds at the + level you actually want enforced. + + The generated workflows read a baseline only when + `.agentops/baseline/results.json` exists in the repository, so promoting + a run means copying its `results.json` to that path and committing it. + Doing so adds the comparison to the CI report. It still does not change + what makes CI fail. + +## 11. Add a dev environment + +Sandbox is your author-side deploy. Add a separate dev endpoint that CI +evaluates on every PR. Deploy a second hosted agent (or a second revision) and +record its endpoint in a dev env file so the sandbox and dev URLs stay +independent. Each environment maps to its own env file with its own +`TRAVEL_AGENT_ENDPOINT`. + +Leave dev empty at first if you prefer. CI reads the AgentOps config and deploys +the dev hosted agent from the merged commit, so the deployed code always matches +a known git SHA. + +## 12. Generate the workflows + +Let AgentOps generate the PR gate and deploy workflows: + +```powershell +agentops workflow generate +``` + +This writes GitHub Actions workflow files under `.github/workflows/`. The PR +gate runs `agentops eval run` against the dev endpoint and fails the check on a +regression. The deploy workflow updates the dev hosted agent on merge. Review +the generated files and fill in the project-specific build and deploy steps the +analyzer flagged. + +## 13. Wire CI and OIDC + +Point the workflows at your default branch and give CI a way to authenticate to +Azure without secrets. Use the Entra app registration with federated +credentials so the workflow gets a short-lived token through OIDC, and set the +`sandbox` and `dev` GitHub environments with the Foundry endpoints and the +Azure client, tenant, and subscription id. The AgentOps skills can adapt the +generated workflows to your exact project if they are installed. + +## 14. First green PR + +Open a pull request with a small change. CI evaluates the PR candidate against +the dev endpoint, applies the thresholds, and runs Doctor. When the gate is +green, merge it. The deploy workflow updates the dev hosted agent from the +merged commit, so the running code and the git SHA stay in lockstep. + +## 15. Build the evidence pack + +Collect the release evidence that ties a deploy to a known-good evaluation and a +git SHA: + +```powershell +agentops doctor --workspace . --evidence-pack +``` + +Doctor writes the pack to `.agentops/release/latest/evidence.md` (and a JSON +sibling) with the git SHA, the eval result, and the readiness findings. This is +what you cite when someone asks which release is in production and whether it +passed its gate. + +## 16. Open Cockpit + +Read the whole loop in one place: + +```powershell +agentops cockpit +``` + +Cockpit shows the latest eval, the Doctor findings, and the release evidence for +the workspace, so you can make the ship call from a single summary instead of +five browser tabs. + +## What you walk away knowing + +- A hosted agent is served by the Foundry runtime, so `invoke_agent` traces reach App Insights without any instrumentation code in the agent. +- The git commit SHA is the stable identity across sandbox, dev, qa, and prod, because Foundry version numbers are local to each project. +- AgentOps evaluates the hosted endpoint with local eval, keeps a stable `results.json` contract, and blocks regressions in CI. +- Doctor evidence and Cockpit tie a deploy to a passing evaluation and a git SHA, so release decisions are grounded in signals, not vibes. + +### Where to go next + +- [HTTP agent tutorial](tutorial-http-agent.md): when you operate the web server yourself and wire client-side instrumentation. +- [Prompt agent tutorial](tutorial-prompt-agent.md): when your agent is a Foundry-managed prompt referenced as `name:version`. +- [Operate](operate.md): release evidence, thresholds, and the deploy record. + +## Repos and skills used + +- [Azure/agentops](https://github.com/Azure/agentops): the AgentOps Accelerator toolkit and CLI. +- [Foundry Toolkit for Visual Studio Code](https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=TeamsDevApp.vscode-ai-foundry): create, debug, and deploy the hosted agent. diff --git a/docs/tutorial-http-agent.md b/docs/tutorial-http-agent.md new file mode 100644 index 00000000..2c084778 --- /dev/null +++ b/docs/tutorial-http-agent.md @@ -0,0 +1,1005 @@ +# HTTP agent tutorial + +Use this tutorial when your agent runs as an HTTP service behind a URL, not as a +Foundry-managed prompt agent.

See [Evaluation](evaluation.md) for how + scoring works. + +## 1. Deploy the sandbox + +Create the GPT-RAG workspace from the template. The first azd environment is your +sandbox. + +!!! concept "What the sandbox is for" + The sandbox is your candidate-validation environment. You deploy real Azure + resources here, point AgentOps at them, and let the PR gate deploy and score + candidate code before it can reach dev. Treating it as disposable is the + point: you can break it, reset it, and keep dev clean. + +```powershell +azd init -t Azure/gpt-rag +``` + +Name the environment with a unique suffix so it does not collide with anyone +else's resource names, for example `gptrag-sandbox-2606182303` (the pattern is +`gptrag-sandbox-yymmddhhmm`). + +azd downloads the template into a `gpt-rag` directory. Change into it, then set +the required values: + +```powershell +cd gpt-rag +azd env set AZURE_LOCATION +azd env set AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID +``` + +!!! tip "Why a unique name" + The azd environment name seeds globally unique Azure resource names like the + storage account. A plain `sandbox` often clashes with another deployment, so + a timestamp suffix keeps yours distinct. + +Provision and deploy everything: + +```powershell +azd up +``` + +!!! info "What the deploy does" + A predeploy hook reads `manifest.json` and clones each component from + upstream. The orchestrator is cloned into a sibling `gpt-rag-orchestrator` + directory, pinned to tag `v2.8.6`, and built into a container image. The + deployed orchestrator answers over HTTP at `POST /orchestrator`. + +## 2. Add a dev environment + +Create a second environment in the same checkout, set its values, and deploy it. +Give it its own unique suffix, using the pattern `gptrag-dev-yymmddhhmm`. + +```powershell +azd env new gptrag-dev- +azd env set AZURE_LOCATION +azd env set AZURE_SUBSCRIPTION_ID +azd up +``` + +!!! info "Why a separate dev environment" + Sandbox is where the PR workflow deploys and evaluates candidate code. Dev is + the shared deployment target updated by the generated deploy workflow after + merge or manual dispatch. + +## 3. Index a document + +Your agent grounds its answers on indexed content, so give it one document to +work with. This tutorial uses a short sample manual. + +!!! concept "Why grounding needs an index" + A RAG agent does not read your PDF at question time. An ingestion pipeline + splits the document into chunks, turns each chunk into an embedding vector, + and stores them in a search index. At query time the agent retrieves the + closest chunks and answers from them. No index, no grounded answer, which is + why this one upload is what gives the agent something true to say. + +[Download the sample document](media/vw-fuel-system.pdf) is the "Fuel System" +section of a Volkswagen service manual, 28 pages covering the carbureted 1968 +through 1974 models. Save it locally. + +Upload it to the sandbox `documents` blob container. GPT-RAG ingests it in the +background and indexes it into Azure AI Search: + +```powershell +az storage blob upload ` + --account-name ` + --container-name documents ` + --file "vw-fuel-system.pdf" ` + --name "vw-fuel-system.pdf" ` + --auth-mode login +``` + +Give ingestion a couple of minutes before testing grounded answers. + +## 4. Make the orchestrator yours + +The agent you evaluate lives in the cloned orchestrator, so work from that +directory. + +```powershell +cd ../gpt-rag-orchestrator +git remote -v +``` + +You will see `origin` pointing at the upstream project, checked out at the pinned +tag in a detached state: + +```text +origin https://github.com/azure/gpt-rag-orchestrator.git (fetch) +origin https://github.com/azure/gpt-rag-orchestrator.git (push) +``` + +!!! warning "This intentionally disconnects from upstream" + This tutorial makes the orchestrator your own service to evaluate and + deploy. Re-initializing the git history detaches it from the GPT-RAG open + source project so your commits and CI never target upstream. Do this only in + your own copy. + +Optionally drop the inherited eval pipeline and CI, then start your own history. +The clone is shallow on a pinned tag, so re-rooting with `git init` (instead of +committing on top of the shallow commit) is what lets the push succeed later: + +```powershell +# optional: remove the inherited eval pipeline and CI so only AgentOps runs +Remove-Item -Recurse -Force evaluations +Remove-Item -Force .github/workflows/* + +# start a fresh, independent history at a real root commit +Remove-Item -Recurse -Force .git +git init +git add -A +git commit -m "Initial commit: my GPT-RAG orchestrator copy" +git branch -M main +``` + +!!! note "What you just removed" + Those upstream evals and workflows are not used here. AgentOps creates its + own eval dataset and workflows later, so removing them keeps your first + commit focused on your copy. + +Then create your repository and push the `main` branch with the GitHub CLI. Pick +a name that does not collide with a fork you may already have, for example +`gpt-rag-orchestrator-agentops`: + +```powershell +gh repo create /gpt-rag-orchestrator-agentops --private --source . --remote origin +git push -u origin main +``` + +!!! tip "Use a distinct repo name" + `gh repo create` names a brand-new repo from the current folder, regardless + of the local directory name. If you already keep a fork at + `/gpt-rag-orchestrator`, give this one a different name like + `gpt-rag-orchestrator-agentops` so your own copy stays easy to tell apart. + +## 5. Install AgentOps + +From the `gpt-rag-orchestrator` directory, create a local Python environment, +install AgentOps, and install the Copilot skills: + +```powershell +python -m venv .venv +.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1 +python -m pip install -U pip +python -m pip install "agentops-accelerator[agent]" +agentops --version +agentops skills install +``` + +## 6. Initialize AgentOps + +Point AgentOps straight at `POST /orchestrator`. No adapter route is needed. +This orchestrator returns `text/event-stream`, so the config below uses +`response_mode: text` and drops the leading conversation id. If your endpoint +returns normal JSON, keep the default `response_mode: json`, remove the +`stream:` block, and set `response_field` to the JSON field that contains the +answer. For the full matrix, see +[Configure an HTTP target](evaluation.md#configure-an-http-target). + +!!! concept "Black-box HTTP targets" + AgentOps treats your orchestrator as a black box: it sends an input over + HTTP and reads back one answer. It does not import your code or mock your + model, so the gate scores the same path your users hit in production, + including retrieval, the model, and your prompt. That realism is the whole + value, and it is also why step 11 has to do extra work to peek at the + retrieved context behind the answer. + +Use the sandbox orchestrator for local AgentOps setup and local eval runs. The +PR gate uses sandbox too. Dev is updated after merge or manual dispatch. + +```powershell +# Select sandbox. +azd env select + +# Disable the API-key guard. +$fqdn = azd env get-value CONTAINER_APP_INTERNAL_FQDN +$agent = "https://$fqdn/orchestrator" +$app = $fqdn.Split('.')[0] +$rg = azd env get-value AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP +az containerapp update -n $app -g $rg --set-env-vars DISABLE_AUTH=true --only-show-errors --output none + +# Print the endpoint. +$agent +``` + +!!! info "Anonymous evals" + In this tutorial, evals call the orchestrator without a user + `Authorization` bearer token or `X-API-KEY` header. `DISABLE_AUTH=true` + keeps that local setup simple. + +Sign in if needed, then run the wizard: + +```powershell +az login +agentops init +``` + +Answer the prompts with the sandbox orchestrator values: + +| Prompt | Answer | +|---|---| +| Foundry project endpoint | The sandbox Foundry project endpoint for the judge model, or press Enter to set it later. | +| Agent | The `$agent` URL printed above. | +| Dataset path | `.agentops/data/vw-smoke.jsonl` | + +Then edit `agentops.yaml` so AgentOps matches the orchestrator request and +response shape. Do not set thresholds yet; first create the dataset so +`agentops eval init` can inspect it and recommend the right evaluators. + +``` +edit agentops.yaml +``` + +```yaml +version: 1 +agent: https:///orchestrator +dataset: .agentops/data/vw-smoke.jsonl +protocol: http-json +request_field: ask +response_mode: text +stream: + strip_leading_token: true +``` + +| Field | What it does | +|---|---| +| `agent` | The sandbox orchestrator URL AgentOps calls with `POST` for local eval runs. | +| `protocol: http-json` | Send one JSON request to the orchestrator. | +| `request_field: ask` | Put each dataset input under the `ask` key, matching the orchestrator's own field name. | +| `response_mode: text` | Read the `text/event-stream` body and aggregate it into one answer instead of parsing a single JSON body. | +| `stream.strip_leading_token: true` | Drop the leading conversation id the orchestrator emits as its first chunk. | +| Non-streaming JSON endpoint | Use the default `response_mode: json` and set `response_field`, for example `response_field: text`. | + +!!! note "How AgentOps calls the endpoint" + AgentOps posts `{"ask": ""}` with `Content-Type: application/json` and + no `Authorization` or `X-API-KEY` header. The orchestrator treats the request + as anonymous, streams a `text/event-stream` response, and AgentOps drops the + leading conversation id before scoring the aggregated answer. The default + `request_field` is `message`; you set it to `ask` because that is the + orchestrator's vocabulary. If your endpoint emits structured `data:` JSON + frames instead of raw text, set `response_mode: sse` and add + `stream.text_field` to point at the token text. + +!!! tip "If you enabled API keys on purpose" + Only add `auth_header_name`, `auth_value_template`, and `auth_header_env` if + you deployed GPT-RAG with `useCAppAPIKey=true`. The default tutorial path does + not use that option. + +## 7. Create the dataset + +Create a small JSONL dataset grounded in the document you indexed. Each row is +one line of JSON: an `input` to ask and an `expected` describing the behavior you +want. + +!!! concept "An eval dataset scores behavior, not exact text" + `expected` is not a string the answer must match. An LLM judge reads the + agent's answer and your `expected` description and rates how well they agree. + So you describe the behavior you want ("names the correct torque value and + cites the manual") and the judge tolerates wording differences. That is what + lets a non-deterministic agent be tested at all. + +``` +edit .agentops/data/vw-smoke.jsonl +``` + +```json +{"input":"What is the fuel tank capacity of the Volkswagen described in the manual?","expected":"States the fuel tank holds 15.8 U.S. gallons (about 60 liters) and sits beneath the rear luggage area ahead of the engine. On topic and consistent with the manual."} +{"input":"Which carburetor did the 1970 model use?","expected":"Identifies a single Solex 30 PICT-3 carburetor for the 1970 model. Concise and on topic."} +{"input":"What does the evaporative emission control system do?","expected":"Explains it keeps gasoline fumes from escaping to the atmosphere by venting the tank into a system that traps fuel vapors until the engine burns them, standard from the 1970 models. On topic and consistent with the manual."} +{"input":"What is the 0 to 100 km/h time of the latest electric Volkswagen ID.4?","expected":"Makes clear the indexed document does not cover modern electric models and does not invent a figure."} +``` + +!!! note "input maps to ask" + AgentOps reads the `input` field from each row and sends it as `ask`. The + `expected` values are acceptance criteria for judge-based scoring, not exact + answer strings, so write them as reviewable behavior. + +!!! warning "Smoke-core is answer quality, not groundedness" + The endpoint returns only the final text, not the retrieved context, so the + judge cannot measure true groundedness here. This smoke-core scores + coherence, similarity to the expected behavior, and response completeness. + The first three rows should pass once the document is indexed; the last row + checks that the agent refuses to invent facts the source does not contain. To + measure real groundedness, evaluate a target that also returns its retrieved + context. See [Evaluation](evaluation.md). + +## 8. Set thresholds + +Ask AgentOps to inspect the HTTP target and dataset: + +!!! concept "What a threshold gate does" + Each evaluator returns a score from 1 to 5. A threshold turns that score into + a pass or fail: set a floor like `>= 3` and any row below it fails the run. + A failed run exits non-zero, and in CI a non-zero exit blocks the merge. That + is the mechanism that converts "the answer felt worse" into an automatic, + enforceable gate. + +```powershell +agentops eval init +``` + +For this HTTP target, `agentops eval init` only inspects `agentops.yaml` and the +dataset, then prints the recommended evaluators. It also looks at the active azd +environment and, when it finds one non-embedding Azure AI deployment, saves the +judge model settings it needs for scoring. + +You should see output like this: + +```text +Evaluator model: configured chat (gpt-5-nano) + - saved AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT, AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL_NAME to .azure\\.env +``` + +`agent` is the HTTP target being tested. `AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT` is the chat +model deployment that scores the answers. AgentOps saves both the deployment name +and the model name because Azure OpenAI calls use the deployment name, while the +model name lets the evaluator SDK handle GPT-5 and o-series models correctly. + +If AgentOps cannot auto-discover a single judge deployment, it prints a warning. +List the deployments and set the two values manually: + +```powershell +$rg = azd env get-value AZURE_RESOURCE_GROUP +$account = az cognitiveservices account list -g $rg ` + --query "[?kind=='AIServices' || kind=='OpenAI'].name | [0]" -o tsv + +az cognitiveservices account deployment list -g $rg -n $account ` + --query "[].{deployment:name, model:properties.model.name}" -o table + +azd env set AZURE_OPENAI_DEPLOYMENT +azd env set AZURE_OPENAI_MODEL_NAME +``` + +It does not call `azd ai agent eval generate` or create a Foundry `eval.yaml`, +because the target is not a Foundry prompt agent. + +Because this dataset includes `expected` ground truth and does not include +retrieved `context`, the smoke recommendation should include answer-quality +evaluators such as `coherence`, `similarity`, and `response_completeness`. + +Now add thresholds for the recommended smoke evaluators: + +```powershell +edit agentops.yaml +``` + +```yaml +thresholds: + coherence: ">=3" + similarity: ">=3" + response_completeness: ">=3" +``` + +`similarity` is useful here because the dataset has `expected` ground truth. The +gate checks that the agent answers sensibly and stays close to the expected +behavior, not that it is grounded. + +## 9. Run the eval gate + +AgentOps evals run wherever you execute the command. In this step, you run the +same gate locally from the orchestrator repo: + +If you also want the local metrics and row results to show up in Foundry, open +`agentops.yaml` and add `publish: true` at the top level, next to `dataset`, +`protocol`, and `thresholds`: + +```powershell +edit agentops.yaml +``` + +```yaml +version: 1 +agent: https:///orchestrator +dataset: .agentops/data/vw-smoke.jsonl +publish: true +protocol: http-json +request_field: ask +response_mode: text +stream: + strip_leading_token: true +thresholds: + coherence: ">=3" + similarity: ">=3" + response_completeness: ">=3" +``` + +If you do not want to publish to Foundry, leave the `publish` field out. + +!!! note "Foundry visibility for HTTP targets" + This still runs locally. AgentOps invokes the HTTP endpoint from your machine + or CI runner, then uploads the finished metrics and row results to Classic + Foundry Evaluations. It does not create a New Foundry server-side evaluation + run. `execution: cloud` requires a target Foundry can resolve itself: a + prompt agent (`name:version`) or a hosted agent endpoint whose URL contains + `/agents//versions/`. A generic HTTP endpoint like this one + has neither, so it stays on the local runner with `publish: true`. Hosted and + prompt agents can also use `execution: azd` when you have an + `azd ai agent eval` recipe. + +```powershell +agentops eval run +``` + +You should see a `Threshold status` line and normalized output written under +`.agentops/results/latest/`. + +!!! info "What eval run checks" + It sends each dataset row to the orchestrator endpoint, scores the responses with the + judge model, applies your thresholds, and writes `results.json` and + `report.md`. It exits zero when thresholds pass and non-zero when a + threshold fails or the endpoint errors, which is exactly what lets the PR + gate block a merge. See [Evaluation](evaluation.md) for thresholds and + metric concepts. + +The cloud version is the same command in GitHub Actions. Later, when you generate +the PR workflow, CI runs `agentops eval run` in the GitHub-hosted runner and +stores the evidence as workflow artifacts. There is no separate setting in +`agentops.yaml` that says "local" or "cloud"; the runner location comes from +where the command is executed. + +## 10. Results and traces + +Use the local report for the evaluation evidence. Use Application Insights when +you want the run traces. + +**Eval results (local or CI artifact).** Every run writes normalized output under +`.agentops/results/latest/` in the machine that ran the command. Locally, open +`report.md` to read each input, the aggregated answer, the judge scores, and pass +or fail against your thresholds: + +```powershell +code .agentops/results/latest/report.md +``` + +In GitHub Actions, the same files are kept as workflow artifacts. + +**Runtime traces.** `agentops eval run` auto-discovers the Application Insights +resource connected to `AZURE_AI_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT`. Open that Application +Insights resource, go to **Logs**, and run: + +```kusto +requests +| where timestamp > ago(24h) +| where cloud_RoleName == 'agentops' +| project timestamp, name, operation_Id, duration, success +| order by timestamp desc +``` + +You should see one `RUN agentops` row plus one `eval_item ...` row for each +dataset row. If you do not see them, confirm you opened the Application Insights +resource connected to the same Foundry project endpoint used by your active azd +environment, not another dev or sandbox environment. + +!!! note "Foundry Evaluations is opt-in" + By default, this tutorial keeps eval evidence local or in CI artifacts. With + `publish: true`, the same local run also appears in Classic Foundry + Evaluations. `execution: cloud` is the New Foundry server-side evaluation + path, but in AgentOps it currently applies to Foundry prompt agents + (`name:version`) only. Hosted agent endpoints use the local runner plus + optional Classic publish, or `execution: azd` when an azd eval recipe exists. + +!!! info "Eval evidence vs runtime traces" + The local `report.md` is the fastest way to see why a row passed or failed. + The `agentops.eval.*` spans are how the same runs show up in Foundry. The + agent's own request traces are separate runtime telemetry the Doctor reads + for latency and errors. See [Observe](observe.md). + +## 11. Score live retrieval + +Steps 7 to 10 score the answer text only. The judge never sees the passages your +agent actually retrieved, so it cannot tell you whether the agent pulled the +right context or stayed grounded in it. That is black-box evaluation: one query +in, one answer out. + +To evaluate retrieval you need grey-box evaluation. The target returns the answer +**and** the context it used for that answer, so the Foundry RAG evaluators score +the real retrieval behind each response instead of a static dataset field. This +is what your audience means by "evaluate the retrieval", not just the final text. + +!!! note "This step is optional and needs an agent that can expose its context" + The smoke gate works without it. Grey-box retrieval scoring requires your + agent to return the retrieved context at eval time. The GPT-RAG orchestrator + in this tutorial can do that through the opt-in mode described below. If you + bring your own agent, add an equivalent opt-in path. + +### The orchestrator contract (opt-in, gated) + +Retrieved context is sensitive: it exposes the corpus passages behind an answer. +So the orchestrator only returns it when the caller opts in **and** an operator +has enabled it. Two switches: + +- Request header `X-Eval-Context: true` on the eval request. +- Feature flag `EVAL_CONTEXT_ENABLED` in App Configuration, off by default. + +When both are set, the orchestrator replies with a single JSON document instead +of the streamed answer: + +```json +{ + "answer": "The VW mechanical fuel pump draws gasoline from the tank ...", + "context": "### Vw Fuel System\n# 4. FUEL PUMP AND LINES ...", + "retrieved_documents": [ { "id": "vw-fuel-system.pdf#4", "score": 0.81 } ] +} +``` + +Without the header, behavior is unchanged and you get the normal streamed answer. + +!!! danger "Never enable this on an unauthenticated public endpoint" + Eval-context mode returns retrieved corpus content. Keep + `EVAL_CONTEXT_ENABLED` off in production, and only turn it on for + access-controlled sandbox and dev endpoints used for evaluation. + +### Wire AgentOps to the live context + +Switch the eval target from `text` to `json` and capture the two extra fields. +`response_field` stays the answer (the prediction); `response_fields` captures the +grey-box fields so the RAG evaluators can read them. You can drop the `stream` +block, it does not apply to JSON responses. + +```yaml +# eval target: read the grey-box JSON response +response_mode: json +response_field: answer +response_fields: + context: context + retrieved_documents: retrieved_documents +headers: + X-Eval-Context: "true" + +evaluators: + - CoherenceEvaluator + - SimilarityEvaluator + - ResponseCompletenessEvaluator + - name: GroundednessEvaluator + input_mapping: + context: $response.context + - name: RetrievalEvaluator + input_mapping: + context: $response.context + +thresholds: + coherence: ">=3" + similarity: ">=3" + response_completeness: ">=3" + groundedness: ">=3" + retrieval: ">=3" +``` + +How the wiring works: + +- `response_fields` captures named fields from the JSON response. The + `$response.` token then makes each one available to an evaluator's + `input_mapping`.

They need no ground truth, so they +drop straight into the gate. + +Document Retrieval is a different tool. It scores retrieval *ranking* against +relevance labels you author by hand and returns composite metrics for search +tuning, so it runs offline, not on the gate. It belongs to the Operate phase, when you +optimize the agent's search over time. For a full walkthrough, see +[Retrieval optimization](retrieval-optimization.md). + +### Run it + +```powershell +agentops eval run +``` + +Each row is now scored on groundedness and retrieval against the context the +agent actually used. A low retrieval score means the agent fetched off-topic +passages; a low groundedness score means the answer drifted from what it +retrieved. Both are invisible to the black-box smoke, which is exactly why the +audience asked for them. + +!!! tip "Keep the smoke dataset on-corpus" + Retrieval and groundedness only score well when the question is answerable + from the indexed document. An out-of-corpus question correctly earns a low + retrieval score, which is useful as a negative test but makes the gate + flaky if it is in the smoke set. Keep smoke questions answerable from your + index, and use ASSERT and Red Team for the refusal and safety cases. + +## 12. Add governance checks + +Quality is not enough to ship. Add Red Team and a tiny ASSERT smoke so CI can +exercise the live HTTP orchestrator, not just score happy-path answers. + +!!! concept "Quality is not safety" + The eval gate asks "is the answer good?" It does not ask "is the agent safe + when someone attacks it?" Those are different questions and need different + tools.

Generate the workflows + +You build your own CI here. `agentops workflow generate` writes fresh, +AgentOps-owned GitHub Actions into your repo.

That means + your gates and your CI cannot drift apart: change a threshold or add an + evaluator and you regenerate the workflows to match.

Use this as a checklist: + +| Stage | What it means | |---|---| -| Azure CLI is installed and `az login` succeeds with the tenant that owns the Foundry projects. | AgentOps, Foundry SDK calls, and CI setup all need the same Azure identity context. | -| You can create **two** Foundry projects in the same Azure subscription (or have two existing projects you can use). | The tutorial uses a sandbox project for authoring and experimentation plus a shared dev project for the PR gate. You only need to publish the agent in sandbox — CI auto-bootstraps it in dev (and later qa / prod). | -| You can publish a prompt agent in the **sandbox** Foundry project. | The tutorial seeds `travel-agent:2` only in sandbox (Foundry portal typically numbers the first published version `:2`, not `:1`). Dev / qa / prod start empty; the prompt-agent deploy workflow creates the first version in those projects automatically using `prompt_agent_bootstrap` defaults plus `prompt_file`. | -| The **same model deployment name** (for example `gpt-4o-mini`) exists in every Foundry project you plan to deploy to. | `prompt_agent_bootstrap.model` is a single value reused for every environment. If dev does not have that deployment, the first auto-bootstrap fails. | -| You can create or attach Application Insights for at least the dev Foundry project, and can grant Reader to the dev project's managed identity on that App Insights resource and its backing Log Analytics workspace when workspace-based. | Foundry Traces, the Operate dashboard, trace-to-dataset generation, Doctor, and Cockpit need telemetry to tell the observability story. Sandbox observability is optional. | -| You can push to the tutorial GitHub repository and run GitHub Actions. | The PR gate only runs after the repo is pushed. | -| GitHub CLI is authenticated with `gh auth login` if you use the PR commands in this tutorial. | The regression step opens PRs and sends the reader directly to the workflow run. | -| You can create a GitHub environment named `dev` and add Actions variables/secrets. | The generated workflow uses that environment for Azure auth and the dev Foundry project endpoint. | -| You can create an Entra app registration with federated credentials, or an admin is ready to provide the client ID, tenant ID, and subscription ID. | The workflow skill can wire OIDC cleanly; without this, CI cannot authenticate to Azure. | -| Copilot or your coding-agent CLI is signed in before you ask it to run AgentOps skills. | The skill handoff assumes an authenticated coding-agent session that can read the repo and propose GitHub/Azure setup steps. | +| **Test prompt** | Try the prompt in sandbox and publish a version when it looks ready. | +| **Move prompt** | Copy the tested instructions into a prompt file in Git, which becomes the source of truth. | +| **Create dev environment** | Leave dev empty. CI reads the AgentOps config and creates or updates the dev agent. | +| **Block regressions** | CI evaluates the PR candidate, applies thresholds, and runs Doctor. Serious regressions stop the PR. | -## Mental model: sandbox, dev, and what crosses environments +### Why the SHA matters -Before the hands-on steps, hold this picture in your head: +Foundry version numbers are local to each project, so sandbox `travel-agent:2` +may not match the number in dev, qa, or prod. AgentOps compares the prompt +content instead. It fingerprints each version two ways: -``` -sandbox Foundry project dev Foundry project -(authoring + experimentation; (shared environment, PR gate target, - used by you or the team) where merge deploys land) - │ │ - │ travel-agent:2 (your first publish │ (empty — no agent here yet; - │ in sandbox; Foundry portal numbers │ CI auto-creates the agent - │ it starting from :2) │ on the first deploy via - │ travel-agent:3,4,5,... (free saves) │ prompt_agent_bootstrap; the - │ │ number Foundry assigns there - │ │ is environment-local) - │ │ - └──── git is the source of truth ─────────►│ - .agentops/prompts/travel-agent.md - prompt_sha256 + git_sha -``` +- `prompt_sha256`: a hash of the prompt text. Same text, same hash, in any project. +- `git_sha`: the git commit that produced that text. -Two ideas to internalize: - -1. **The prompt in `git` is the source of truth.** The file - `.agentops/prompts/travel-agent.md` is what CI reads and what reviewers - diff. Each Foundry project's version numbers count its own saves and - are environment-local. -2. **You only author the agent in sandbox.** Dev, qa, and prod start - empty. When the prompt-agent deploy workflow runs against an empty - environment, it reads `prompt_agent_bootstrap` from `agentops.yaml` - plus `prompt_file`, then creates the first version of the agent - automatically in that environment. You never seed dev / qa / prod by - hand. -3. **Cross-environment identity is the SHA, not the number.** AgentOps - embeds `agentops.prompt_sha256` and `agentops.git_sha` into every - Foundry version it creates, and writes the same identifiers into the - per-environment deploy artifact `foundry-agent.json`. When you ask - "is the same prompt running in sandbox, dev, and prod?", you compare - SHAs, not version numbers. The version numbers will differ. - -The longer walkthrough of that identity story is in step 15, when you -have a real `foundry-agent.json` artifact to open. - -## Journey you will exercise - -| Step | Main tool | What you do | AgentOps role | -|---|---|---|---| -| Create two Foundry projects | Foundry portal (or `microsoft-foundry` skill) | Create `travel-agent-sandbox` (where you author) and `travel-agent-dev` (left empty — CI seeds it). | No AgentOps create/deploy role; AgentOps consumes the published baseline from sandbox and bootstraps dev. | -| Author in sandbox | Foundry playground | Iterate on the prompt safely in sandbox Foundry. | Optional spot-check via local `agentops eval run`. | -| Promote the prompt to git | Editor | Copy validated instructions into `.agentops/prompts/travel-agent.md`. | The CI gate reads this file. | -| First green PR + dev deploy | GitHub Actions + Foundry dev project | Push prompt, open PR, watch CI auto-bootstrap the first version of `travel-agent` in dev from `prompt_agent_bootstrap` (the dev project is still empty at this point), evaluate it, run Doctor; merge; deploy lands in dev. | Runs the gate, bootstrap-on-first-deploy, threshold decision, Doctor blocking step, deploy artifact, and release evidence. | -| Force a regression | Editor + GitHub Actions | Edit the prompt to a worse version, push, observe BOTH eval threshold failure AND Doctor regression CRITICAL. | Catches the regression at PR time, not after merge. | -| Fix and redeploy | Editor + GitHub Actions | Restore prompt, push, PR green, merge, deploy. | Records the recovery. | -| Review readiness | AgentOps Doctor + Cockpit | Check CI, eval, telemetry, evidence, and links. | Turns scattered signals into release blockers, warnings, evidence files, and next actions. | - -## 1. Create a clean workspace and install AgentOps - -Create a workspace folder and install the toolkit before any other tool -runs. The skills and CLI commands later in the tutorial all depend on this. +AgentOps writes both into a small deploy record, `foundry-agent.json`, one per +environment.
