HoneyHive provides a list of server-side evaluator templates for some of the most commonly used metrics across autonomous agents, RAG, and other use-cases.
In this document, we will cover how to properly set up tracing in your application to ensure the required information is captured in the expected format for server-side evaluators. Additionally, we will provide a detailed list of Python and LLM evaluator templates, complete with code examples and descriptions for each, to help you implement and customize them for your specific use case.
These templates provide ready-to-use examples. For detailed instructions on creating custom evaluators from scratch, see the Python Evaluators and LLM Evaluators documentation.

Configuring Tracing for Server-Side Evaluators

Server-side evaluators operate on event objects, so when instrumenting your application for sending traces to HoneyHive, you need to ensure the correct event properties are being captured and traced. For example, suppose you want to set up a Python evaluator that requires both the model’s response and a provided ground truth, as well as an LLM evaluator that requires the model’s response and a provided context. In this case, you can wrap your model call within a function and enrich the event object with the necessary properties:
from honeyhive import enrich_span, trace

@trace
def generate_response(prompt, ground_truth, context):
    completion = openai_client.chat.completions.create(
        model="o3-mini",
        messages=[
            {"role": "user", "content": prompt}
        ]
    )
    enrich_span(feedback={"ground_truth": ground_truth},
                inputs={"context": context})
    
    return completion.choices[0].message.content
The traced function will automatically be mapped to a chain event, as it groups together a model event within it. The chain event will be named after the traced function. When setting up an evaluator in HoneyHive for the example above, follow these steps:
  1. Select Filters
    • event type: chain
    • event name: generate_response
  2. Accessing properties
    • For Python Evaluators:
      • Access output content with event["outputs"]["result"]
      • Access ground truth with event["feedback"]["ground_truth"]
      • Access context with event["inputs"]["context"]
    • For LLM Evaluators:
      • Access output content with {{ outputs.result }}
      • Access ground truth with {{ feedback.ground_truth }}
      • Access context with {{ inputs.context }}
For instance, creating a custom Python evaluator that uses the output from the response along with the provided ground truth would look like this:
While creating an LLM custom evaluator that uses the response’s output in combination with the provided context would look like this:

Remember to adjust the event attributes in the code to align with your setup, as demonstrated in the tracing section above.

Response length

Python

Semantic Similarity

    from the "text-embedding-3-small" model.

Coding Agent Evaluator Templates

These templates are designed for evaluating coding agent sessions. They classify and assess sessions across key dimensions: what kind of work was done, its strategic type, how complex it was, and how specific the developer’s prompt was.
Coding agent templates use inputs and outputs (top-level): These evaluators assess entire coding agent sessions, so they use {{ inputs }} for the user prompt and {{ outputs }} for the agent’s full session output. For example, {{ inputs }} might resolve to the user’s prompt string, and {{ outputs }} to the full agent session log.

Task Category

[Instruction]
Please act as an impartial judge and classify the coding agent session into one of the predefined task categories. Your classification should be based on the primary nature of the work being performed. Begin your evaluation by providing a brief explanation of why the session fits a particular category. Be as objective as possible. After providing your explanation, you must assign exactly one category by strictly following this format: "[[category]]", for example: "Category: [[New Features]]", using the exact category name from the list below.

[Categories]
- Bug Fixing & Debugging: Identifying, diagnosing, and resolving defects or unexpected behavior in code
- Code Refactoring: Restructuring existing code without changing its external behavior to improve readability, maintainability, or performance
- Code Explanation: Explaining how code works, answering questions about logic, or providing walkthroughs
- Configuration: Setting up, modifying, or troubleshooting configuration files, environment variables, CI/CD pipelines, or build systems
- New Features: Implementing new functionality, endpoints, components, or capabilities

Prompt Specificity

[Instruction]
Please act as an impartial judge and evaluate how specific and detailed the user's prompt to the coding agent is. Your evaluation should consider the clarity of requirements, level of detail provided, and how much ambiguity the agent must resolve on its own. Begin your evaluation by providing a brief explanation of the specificity factors present. Be as objective as possible. After providing your explanation, you must rate the prompt specificity on a scale of 1 to 5 by strictly following this format: "[[rating]]", for example: "Rating: [[5]]".

[Criteria]
Prompt Specificity: Rate how specific and actionable the user's prompt is.
1 - Very Vague: High-level goal with no details, e.g. "improve the app" or "fix the issues"
2 - Low Specificity: General direction provided but missing key details like file names, expected behavior, or acceptance criteria
3 - Moderate: Clear objective with some context, but leaves room for interpretation on implementation approach or scope
4 - High Specificity: Well-defined task with specific files, functions, or components referenced; clear expected behavior described

Multi-Agent Evaluator Templates

These templates evaluate coordination quality in multi-agent systems - how well agents hand off work, stay in scope, and produce coherent combined outputs.
Multi-agent templates use inputs and outputs (top-level): These evaluators assess agent handoffs, delegation plans, session traces, and assembled outputs. For example, {{ inputs }} might contain the agent’s role definition or task context, and {{ outputs }} might contain the agent’s actions or assembled output.

Handoff Completeness

[Instruction]
Please act as an impartial judge and evaluate the completeness of the handoff between agents in a multi-agent system. Your evaluation should assess whether the output from one agent contains everything the downstream agent needs to continue the task. Begin your evaluation by providing a brief explanation of the handoff quality. Be as objective as possible. After providing your explanation, you must rate the handoff completeness on a scale of 1 to 5 by strictly following this format: "[[rating]]", for example: "Rating: [[5]]".

[Criteria]
Handoff Completeness: Evaluate whether the agent's output is self-contained for the next stage. Consider:
1. Context Preservation: Does the output include all relevant context, constraints, and requirements the next stage needs?
2. Explicit Assumptions: Are there implicit assumptions that were not made explicit?
3. Decision Continuity: Are any upstream decisions, rationale, or constraints dropped or lost?
4. Artifact Completeness: Are all necessary artifacts (code, data, references) included or clearly referenced?
5. State Clarity: Is the current state of the task clearly communicated, including what has been done and what remains?

1 - Severely Incomplete: Critical context, decisions, or artifacts are missing; downstream agent would fail or produce wrong results
2 - Mostly Incomplete: Multiple important pieces of context or constraints are missing; downstream agent would need to re-derive significant information
3 - Partially Complete: Core information is present but some important context, constraints, or rationale is missing
4 - Mostly Complete: Nearly all necessary information is present with only minor implicit assumptions
5 - Fully Complete: All context, constraints, decisions, artifacts, and state are explicitly communicated; downstream agent can proceed without any information gaps

Integration Coherence

[Instruction]
Please act as an impartial judge and evaluate the coherence of the assembled output from a multi-agent system. Your evaluation should assess whether the combined outputs from multiple agents form a unified, consistent whole. Begin your evaluation by providing a brief explanation of the integration quality. Be as objective as possible. After providing your explanation, you must rate the integration coherence on a scale of 1 to 5 by strictly following this format: "[[rating]]", for example: "Rating: [[5]]".

[Criteria]
Integration Coherence: Evaluate whether the assembled multi-agent output reads as a coherent whole. Consider:
1. Cross-Section Consistency: Are there contradictions between parts produced by different agents?
2. Stylistic Uniformity: Is there a consistent tone, voice, and level of detail throughout?
3. Transition Quality: Are transitions between sections produced by different agents smooth and natural?
4. Redundancy: Is there unnecessary repetition or conflicting information across sections?
5. Unified Perspective: Does the output present a single coherent perspective rather than a patchwork of disconnected viewpoints?

1 - Incoherent: Obvious contradictions, jarring style shifts, and disjointed sections that clearly come from different sources
2 - Poorly Integrated: Multiple inconsistencies, noticeable style changes, and weak transitions between sections
3 - Partially Coherent: Generally consistent but with some noticeable seams, minor contradictions, or tonal shifts
4 - Well Integrated: Reads mostly as a unified output with only minor stylistic variations
5 - Seamlessly Coherent: Indistinguishable from a single-author output; perfectly consistent style, voice, and logic throughout

Scope Adherence

[Instruction]
Please act as an impartial judge and evaluate whether the agent stayed within its assigned decision space and responsibilities. Your evaluation should assess whether the agent operated within its delegated authority or overstepped its bounds. Begin your evaluation by providing a brief explanation of scope adherence. Be as objective as possible. After providing your explanation, you must rate the scope adherence on a scale of 1 to 5 by strictly following this format: "[[rating]]", for example: "Rating: [[5]]".

[Criteria]
Scope Adherence: Evaluate whether the agent respected its assigned boundaries. Consider:
1. Authority Boundaries: Did the agent operate within its delegated authority and assigned responsibilities?
2. Decision Scope: Did it avoid making decisions outside its designated scope?
3. Appropriate Satisficing: Did it satisfice within its bounds rather than attempting to globally optimize beyond its competence?
4. Delegation Respect: Did it defer to other agents or escalate when encountering tasks outside its scope?
5. Focus: Did it stay focused on its assigned subtask without drifting into unrelated areas?

1 - Major Overreach: Agent significantly exceeded its scope, making unauthorized decisions or taking over responsibilities of other agents
2 - Frequent Boundary Violations: Agent regularly stepped outside its assigned scope, causing overlap or conflict with other agents
3 - Occasional Drift: Agent mostly stayed in scope but occasionally made decisions or took actions outside its authority
4 - Good Adherence: Agent stayed within scope with only minor, inconsequential boundary touches
5 - Strict Adherence: Agent operated precisely within its assigned decision space, appropriately deferring or escalating when encountering out-of-scope issues

Escalation Appropriateness

[Instruction]
Please act as an impartial judge and evaluate whether the agent appropriately recognized and escalated situations outside its competence. Your evaluation should assess the agent's ability to detect uncertainty or anomalies and flag them before they become errors. Begin your evaluation by providing a brief explanation of the escalation behavior. Be as objective as possible. After providing your explanation, you must rate the escalation appropriateness on a scale of 1 to 5 by strictly following this format: "[[rating]]", for example: "Rating: [[5]]".

[Criteria]
Escalation Appropriateness: Evaluate whether the agent correctly identified when to escalate or flag issues. Consider:
1. Uncertainty Recognition: Did the agent recognize situations outside its competence or confidence level?
2. Timely Escalation: Did it escalate or flag issues before they became errors, rather than silently proceeding?
3. Threshold Calibration: Was the escalation threshold appropriate — not too trigger-happy (escalating trivial issues) and not too lax (missing genuine problems)?
4. Signal Quality: When escalating, did the agent provide useful context about what triggered the concern?
5. Failure Prevention: Did proactive flagging prevent downstream errors or cascading failures?

1 - Dangerous Silence: Agent proceeded through clear red flags without any escalation, causing or risking significant errors
2 - Poor Judgment: Agent missed most situations warranting escalation, or escalated so frequently that signals were meaningless
3 - Inconsistent: Agent caught some issues but missed others of similar severity; escalation threshold was unpredictable
4 - Good Judgment: Agent appropriately escalated most concerning situations with useful context; minor calibration issues
5 - Excellent Judgment: Agent demonstrated precise calibration — escalated exactly when needed with clear, actionable context; caught subtle signals that prevented downstream problems

Delegation Appropriateness

[Instruction]
Please act as an impartial judge and evaluate whether the orchestrator or planner chose the right decomposition strategy for the task's complexity. Your evaluation should assess whether the task was correctly categorized and whether the delegation approach matched the actual nature of the problem. Begin your evaluation by providing a brief explanation of the delegation strategy. Be as objective as possible. After providing your explanation, you must rate the delegation appropriateness on a scale of 1 to 5 by strictly following this format: "[[rating]]", for example: "Rating: [[5]]".

[Criteria]
Delegation Appropriateness: Evaluate whether the orchestrator matched its decomposition strategy to the task's complexity. Consider:
1. Complexity Assessment: Did the planner correctly assess whether the task is clear (simple, known solution), complicated (requires expertise but analyzable), or complex (requires exploration and adaptation)?
2. Strategy Matching: Did it apply rigid decomposition to a problem that required iterative exploration, or vice versa?
3. Dependency Awareness: Was the level of parallelism vs. sequencing appropriate to actual task dependencies?
4. Granularity: Was the decomposition at the right level — not too coarse (overloading single agents) and not too fine (creating excessive coordination overhead)?
5. Agent-Task Fit: Were subtasks assigned to agents with appropriate capabilities?

1 - Fundamentally Mismatched: Decomposition strategy is completely wrong for the task type (e.g., rigid waterfall for an exploratory problem, or probe-and-sense for a straightforward task)
2 - Poorly Matched: Strategy partially fits but creates significant unnecessary friction or misses key dependencies
3 - Adequate: Strategy is reasonable but suboptimal; some mismatch in granularity, parallelism, or agent-task fit
4 - Well Matched: Strategy fits the task well with only minor suboptimalities in decomposition or assignment
5 - Optimally Matched: Decomposition strategy precisely matches task complexity; dependencies correctly identified; agents well-matched to subtasks

Information Sufficiency

[Instruction]
Please act as an impartial judge and evaluate whether the agent was given the right amount of context — not too much and not too little. Your evaluation should assess whether the agent had sufficient information to complete its task without being overloaded with irrelevant context. Begin your evaluation by providing a brief explanation of the information balance. Be as objective as possible. After providing your explanation, you must rate the information sufficiency on a scale of 1 to 5 by strictly following this format: "[[rating]]", for example: "Rating: [[5]]".

[Criteria]
Information Sufficiency: Evaluate the balance of information provided to the agent. Consider:
1. Completeness: Did the agent have all necessary information to complete its assigned task?
2. Relevance: Was the provided context focused and relevant, or was it polluted with irrelevant information?
3. Gap Handling: Did the agent hallucinate to fill information gaps instead of requesting missing information?
4. Overload Indicators: Did excessive context cause the agent to lose focus, miss key details, or produce confused output?
5. Efficiency: Could the agent have performed equally well with less context (less-is-more), or did it clearly need more?

1 - Critically Insufficient or Overloaded: Agent either lacked essential information (causing hallucination or failure) or was so overloaded with irrelevant context that output quality severely degraded
2 - Poor Balance: Significant information gaps or notable context pollution; agent struggled to compensate
3 - Adequate: Most necessary information present with moderate noise; some gaps filled by reasonable inference
4 - Good Balance: Nearly all necessary information provided with minimal irrelevant context; agent performed effectively
5 - Optimal: Precisely the right information — complete, relevant, and concise; no gaps, no noise

Role Clarity

[Instruction]
Please act as an impartial judge and evaluate whether agents in a multi-agent system had clear, non-overlapping responsibilities. Your evaluation should assess the quality of role design and assignment across the session. Begin your evaluation by providing a brief explanation of the role clarity observed. Be as objective as possible. After providing your explanation, you must rate the role clarity on a scale of 1 to 5 by strictly following this format: "[[rating]]", for example: "Rating: [[5]]".

[Criteria]
Role Clarity: Evaluate whether the multi-agent role structure was well-defined and effective. Consider:
1. Role Definition: Did each agent have a well-defined, clearly articulated role?
2. Overlap: Was there task overlap causing redundant work between agents?
3. Coverage Gaps: Were there gaps where no agent owned a responsibility, leading to dropped tasks?
4. Capability Matching: Did role assignments match agent capabilities and strengths?
5. Boundary Clarity: Were the boundaries between roles clear enough that agents could operate independently without constant negotiation?

1 - Chaotic: No clear role definitions; agents duplicating work, dropping tasks, and stepping on each other
2 - Poorly Defined: Roles exist but are vague or significantly overlapping; frequent confusion about ownership
3 - Partially Clear: Most roles are defined but with some overlap or gaps; occasional ownership confusion
4 - Well Defined: Clear roles with minimal overlap or gaps; agents operate mostly independently
5 - Optimally Structured: Precise, non-overlapping roles perfectly matched to agent capabilities; complete coverage with no gaps; agents operate independently and efficiently

Retrospective Quality

[Instruction]
Please act as an impartial judge and evaluate the quality of the agent's self-reflection or error analysis after completing a task. Your evaluation should assess whether the agent identifies root causes versus surface symptoms, and whether it questions the strategy itself (double-loop learning) or only execution errors (single-loop learning). Begin your evaluation by providing a brief explanation of the retrospective quality. Be as objective as possible. After providing your explanation, you must rate the retrospective quality on a scale of 1 to 5 by strictly following this format: "[[rating]]", for example: "Rating: [[5]]".

[Criteria]
Retrospective Quality: Evaluate the depth and usefulness of the agent's post-task reflection. Consider:
1. Root Cause Analysis: Does the reflection identify root causes rather than just surface symptoms?
2. Learning Depth: Does it question the plan or strategy itself (double-loop) or only execution errors (single-loop)?
3. Generalizability: Are the lessons learned generalizable to future tasks, or overly specific to this instance?
4. Actionability: Does the reflection produce actionable insights that could improve future performance?
5. Honesty: Does the agent accurately assess its own performance, acknowledging failures rather than rationalizing them?

1 - Absent or Superficial: No meaningful reflection, or only restates what happened without any analysis
2 - Surface-Level: Identifies what went wrong but not why; single-loop only (patches symptoms without examining strategy)
3 - Moderate: Some root cause identification and useful observations, but misses deeper strategic lessons
4 - Deep Reflection: Identifies root causes, questions strategy choices, and produces generalizable lessons
5 - Transformative: Thorough double-loop analysis that identifies systemic improvements; lessons are actionable, generalizable, and demonstrate genuine self-awareness about limitations
