AI agent evaluation

Human reviewers check what your AI agent actually did, step by step: which tools it called, with what inputs, whether it finished the task, and where it went wrong. In every language your users give it instructions in.

What AI agent evaluation is

AI agent evaluation is checking whether an agent completed the task it was given, and how. An agent can give a confident final answer after calling the wrong tool, passing the wrong value or skipping a step, so the review covers the whole trajectory as well as the last message.

Human review finds failures that automated checks miss, such as a misread instruction in Spanish or a date written day-first. It also produces labeled trajectories you can use to build automated evaluations later.

What we evaluate

Each project uses your task list and your definition of success.

  • Task success

    Did the agent do what the user asked, fully and correctly, by the end of the run?

  • Tool calls

    The right tool, the right arguments, and sensible handling of errors and empty results.

  • Plans and reasoning

    Whether the plan fits the goal, and where the agent should have stopped and asked.

  • Safety and permissions

    Actions taken without confirmation, data shared where it shouldn't be, and risky steps.

  • User communication

    Clear updates, honest reporting of failures, and natural language in each market.

  • Test task writing

    Realistic multi-step tasks written by native speakers for your evaluation set.

How an agent evaluation runs

Reviewers are calibrated on your rubric before scoring.

  1. Tasks and rubric

    Your task list, the tools the agent can use and what counts as success.

  2. Calibration

    Reviewers score a shared set of trajectories and agree on edge cases.

  3. Review

    Each trajectory labeled step by step, with a second reviewer on a sample.

    Agreement check QA
  4. Failure analysis

    Failures grouped by type, step and language, with examples.

  5. Report and data

    A written report and labeled trajectories in JSONL for your eval pipeline.

Questions about agent evaluation

What is AI agent evaluation?

AI agent evaluation is measuring whether an AI agent completes tasks correctly and safely. Reviewers check the agent's whole trajectory, including its plan, each tool call and its final answer, against a rubric that defines success.

Why use human reviewers for agent evaluation?

Automated checks can confirm that a task finished, but people catch the reasons it went wrong: a misread instruction, a wrong value passed to a tool, or a reply that confuses the user. Human labels also help you build and test automated graders.

Can you evaluate agents in languages other than English?

Yes. Native-speaker reviewers check how the agent understood instructions and how it replied in each language, including regional formats for dates, numbers and addresses.

What do we need to send?

Agent trajectories or logs in a readable format, your task definitions and a rubric, or we can write the rubric with you during calibration.
