AgentRubric

Trajectory-level evaluation for LLM agents. Zero dependencies, five metrics, one score.

📦 Live on PyPI: pypi.org/project/agentrubric — pip install agentrubric

Current tools (LangSmith, Langfuse, etc.) give you logging. AgentRubric gives you scores .

When an LLM agent runs, it produces a trajectory — a sequence of thoughts, tool calls, observations, and a final answer. Knowing whether that trajectory was actually correct is hard: Did it call the right tools? With the right arguments? Did it wander in loops? Did it finish the task at all? AgentRubric answers all of that with a single evaluate() call.

Install

pip install agentrubric

Zero required dependencies. Optional extras for framework integrations:

pip install agentrubric[langchain]   # LangChain agent parsing
pip install agentrubric[openai]      # OpenAI function-calling parsing

Then say hello:

agentrubric

Quickstart

from agentrubric import Trajectory, Step, evaluate

trajectory = Trajectory(
    task="Find the latest JAX release and summarize the changelog",
    steps=[
        Step(step_type="thought", content="I need to search for JAX releases"),
        Step(step_type="tool_call", content="", tool_name="search",
             tool_args={"query": "JAX latest release"}),
        Step(step_type="observation", content="JAX 0.4.30 released on July 2026..."),
        Step(step_type="final_answer",
             content="The latest JAX release is 0.4.30, released July 2026."),
    ],
    final_answer="The latest JAX release is 0.4.30, released July 2026.",
)

report = evaluate(
    trajectory=trajectory,
    expected_tools=["search"],
    expected_calls=[{"tool_name": "search", "expected_args": {"query": "JAX latest release"}}],
    optimal_steps=4,
    completion_keywords=["JAX", "release"],
)

print(report)
print(report.overall_score)   # 0.9-ish
print(report.failures)        # []

The five metrics

overall_score is a weighted average: 0.3 × tool_accuracy + 0.3 × argument_fidelity + 0.2 × trajectory_length + 0.2 × completion.

Framework integrations

Already using LangChain or OpenAI function calling? Don't hand-build trajectories — parse them straight out of the agent's own output.

LangChain

from agentrubric.integrations.langchain import from_langchain

result = agent_executor.invoke({"input": task})
trajectory = from_langchain(result, task=task)
report = evaluate(trajectory, expected_tools=["search"])

OpenAI function calling

from agentrubric.integrations.openai import from_openai_messages

trajectory = from_openai_messages(messages, task=task)
report = evaluate(trajectory, expected_tools=["search"])

---

Design principles

• Zero required dependencies. A library that requires nothing to install is a library people actually install. LangChain/OpenAI support is opt-in via extras.
• Framework-agnostic core. Trajectory and Step are plain dataclasses — build them from any agent framework, or by hand.
• Scores, not logs. AgentRubric doesn't replace your tracing tool; it turns a trajectory you already captured into a number you can gate CI on.

---

Roadmap

• YAML/JSON case files so expectations don't have to live inline in Python
• Configurable metric weights instead of the fixed 30/30/20/20 split
• More framework integrations beyond LangChain and OpenAI
