agent-observability-sdk

The Python SDK for shipping evals + telemetry to agent-observability. Three surfaces in one install:

• LiveKit helpers — bootstrap the tag bundle the v2 server expects (init_observability), run judges against a session report (run_judges_on_report), resolve the upload URL (ensure_observability_url). For workers that drive LiveKit Agents directly; agent-transport's AudioStreamServer does this internally.
• Judges — nine LiveKit-compatible judges ported from cx-sqs-worker (Hallucination, Response Accuracy, Tool Correctness, Loop Detection, …) plus a default_judges() composition helper. Plug straight into livekit.agents.evals.JudgeGroup alongside LiveKit's built-ins.
• pytest plugin — auto-registered via pytest11 entry-point. Every pytest run becomes one eval_run in the dashboard; every test function becomes an eval_case with events, judgments, and failure detail. Same plumbing the deprecated standalone pytest-agent-observability package used to ship.

Install

pip install agent-observability-sdk

livekit-agents>=1.5.2,<1.6, pytest>=7.0, and httpx>=0.24 are hard deps and installed automatically. Python ≥ 3.10.

Quick start

1. Raw LiveKit worker (text or audio, your own AgentServer)

from agent_observability.livekit import init_observability, run_judges_on_report
from livekit.agents import AgentServer, JobContext
from livekit.agents.evals import accuracy_judge, safety_judge

server = AgentServer()

async def on_session_end(ctx: JobContext) -> None:
    report = ctx.make_session_report()
    await run_judges_on_report(
        report,
        judges=[accuracy_judge(), safety_judge()],
    )

@server.rtc_session(agent_name="support-bot", on_session_end=on_session_end)
async def entrypoint(ctx: JobContext) -> None:
    init_observability(
        ctx.tagger,
        agent_id="9c2f7e3d-…",       # stable opaque UUID
        agent_name="support-bot",
        account_id="acct-7",
        transport="text",
    )
    # …your usual AgentSession.start(...) setup

That's the whole observability surface for a raw-LiveKit worker. No hand-rolled tagger.add(...) calls, no JudgeGroup boilerplate, no llm.aclose() cleanup.

2. agent-transport worker (AudioStreamServer)

Don't use the helpers — agent-transport already emits tags and runs judges via its own EvaluationConfig. You only consume the judges catalogue from this package:

from agent_observability.livekit.judges import (
    default_judges,
    IntentAccuracyJudge,
    rigid_response_accuracy_judge,
)
from agent_transport import AudioStreamServer
from agent_transport.evaluation import EvaluationConfig
from livekit.agents.evals import accuracy_judge

ctx.evaluation = EvaluationConfig(
    judge_llm=judge_llm,
    judges=[
        accuracy_judge(),
        IntentAccuracyJudge(expected_intent="book_flight", actual_intent=...),
        rigid_response_accuracy_judge(expected_response="...", llm=judge_llm),
        *default_judges(llm=judge_llm),
    ],
)

3. pytest suite

The plugin is auto-discovered — install the SDK, point at the dashboard, done. Tests with AgentSession.run(...) and .judge(...) work as-is.

export AGENT_OBSERVABILITY_URL=https://obs.example.com
export AGENT_OBSERVABILITY_AGENT_ID=9c2f7e3d-4b8a-4d2e-9f1b-…
pytest

# In a test file
import pytest
from livekit.agents import AgentSession, inference

@pytest.mark.asyncio
async def test_greeting():
    async with inference.LLM(model="openai/gpt-4.1-mini") as llm, \
               AgentSession(llm=llm) as sess:
        await sess.start(Assistant())
        result = await sess.run(user_input="Hello")
        result.expect.next_event().is_message(role="assistant")
        await result.expect.next_event(type="message").judge(
            llm, intent="greets politely",
        )

Auto-capture is on by default. Every RunResult from AgentSession.run(...) is collected automatically and .judge(...) calls are intercepted as first-class Judgment events in the dashboard. The capture(result) helper is exported for RunResults produced outside the standard .run() path:

from agent_observability.livekit.pytest import capture

Configuration

CI metadata (GitHub / GitLab / CircleCI / Buildkite) is auto-detected by the pytest plugin from standard env vars — no configuration needed.

Judge reference

LLM-based (7 factories)

Each returns a LiveKit _LLMJudge you pass straight to a JudgeGroup:

• hallucination_judge(llm=...) — fabricated info?
• rigid_response_accuracy_judge(*, expected_response, llm=...) — semantic match against an expected text.
• freeflow_response_accuracy_judge(llm=...) — contextually appropriate in an open-ended conversation?
• hold_requested_intent_accuracy_judge(llm=...) — was a "hold" / "wait" reply justified?
• variable_extraction_judge(*, expected_variables, actual_variables, llm=...) — were the right values extracted, grounded in the transcript?
• loop_detection_judge(llm=...) — agent repeating itself?
• knowledge_base_correctness_judge(*, kb_context, llm=...) — KB lookup faithfully reflected?

Programmatic (2 classes, no LLM call)

• IntentAccuracyJudge(*, expected_intent, actual_intent) — case-insensitive string match.
• ToolCorrectnessJudge(*, expected_tools, threshold=1.0) — auto-extracts function-call events from chat_ctx; set-membership scoring.

Composition helper

• default_judges(llm=None) -> list[Judge] — the four ground-truth-free judges (Hallucination, Freeflow Response Accuracy, Hold-Requested Intent Accuracy, Loop Detection). Spread next to your own ground-truth-bound judges.

Which judges need what data?

Migrating from pytest-agent-observability

The standalone pytest-agent-observability package is discontinued. The last published release (0.2.1) still installs and runs, but predates this SDK's helpers and judges. Migrate by switching the dependency + import:

-pytest-agent-observability
+agent-observability-sdk

-from pytest_agent_observability import capture
+from agent_observability.livekit.pytest import capture

The plugin is auto-discovered via pytest11 entry-point — no extra config needed. Auto-capture, .judge() interception, retry / fallback behaviour, and CI metadata extraction are byte-for-byte identical.

Not ported from cx-sqs-worker

Two judges are intentionally absent because their prompts are tightly coupled to the cx-sqs-worker flow-graph runtime (global vs. node instructions, closed available-intents list):

• semi_rigid_response_accuracy
• intent_detection

Use rigid_response_accuracy_judge or freeflow_response_accuracy_judge for response evaluation; use IntentAccuracyJudge for closed-set intent checks.
