Pairs with #7648 (crewAI records the last traced run in .crewai/last_run.json). Independent branches; this one only reads the file.

Summary

  • New command crewai eval: evaluates the project's last traced run through AMP, or --run EXECUTION_ID for another run. It asks AMP (POST /crewai_plus/api/v1/tracing/evaluations) with the saved crewai login when there is one, prints and opens the URL AMP answers with, waits for the verdict and prints it (goal gate and the four grades). Exit 1 only when the evaluation itself failed.
  • No traced run recorded: it offers to turn tracing on for the project (CREWAI_TRACING_ENABLED=true in .env, written with set_key so nothing else in the file moves) and run the crew now; without a terminal, or declined, it prints the three steps.
  • AMP's refusals are printed in AMP's own words: a run that needs an account (401 account_required), a refused credential, a run AMP does not hold (404), rate limiting (429 with Retry-After), any other status with its message.
  • The two AMP calls live on the CLI's PlusAPI subclass, so no crewai-core release is needed.
  • Who may evaluate what is AMP's decision (crewai-plus fix: prevent writer starvation in RWLock #4541 and the evaluations endpoint that follows): an anonymous run once without an account, then it needs one; a run traced while logged in for that organization's members; a deployment execution for members who may see its traces.

Verification

  • lib/cli/tests/test_eval_crew.py (happy path, --run, anonymous caller, failed evaluation, every refusal, the offer to run with tracing on, the decline, a run that leaves no record, the CLI mapping and help, the record reader), test_plus_api.py (the two calls), test_cli.py — 87 passed. AMP is a scripted double; nothing reaches the network.
  • ruff check, ruff format --check, mypy (strict, lib/cli) clean.

Additional context

  • The AMP side of /tracing/evaluations is the next PR on crewai-plus; until it is deployed the command gets AMP's 404 and says so.
  • Docs (docs/edge/en) for the command follow once the whole flow is live, so the page describes what actually works.
  • crewai test (the old "Test Crew Performance") is deprecated later; crewai eval sits beside it for now.

Note

Medium Risk
New CLI surface with AMP HTTP calls and credential routing rules; mistakes could leak tokens or mis-handle auth, but behavior is heavily tested and defaults to anonymous access when unsure.

Overview
Adds crewai eval to evaluate a traced crew run through CrewAI AMP: it reads .crewai/last_run.json (or --run EXECUTION_ID), starts an evaluation via AMP, opens the report URL, polls until finished, and prints the goal gate plus grades. Exit 1 when the evaluation fails, not when the gate fails.

When no run is recorded, the CLI can prompt to set CREWAI_TRACING_ENABLED=true in .env, run the crew, then evaluate; non-interactive paths get step-by-step instructions instead.

PlusAPI gains create_evaluation / get_evaluation on the tracing evaluations API (CLI-only, no crewai-core bump). Auth is guarded: the saved login is sent only to trusted AMP origins over HTTPS (or loopback HTTP); other targets are called anonymously, with clear errors for AMP refusals and broken credential storage.

Broad test_eval_crew.py coverage includes happy path, security, polling, and CLI wiring; test_plus_api.py covers the new API methods.

Reviewed by Cursor Bugbot for commit 0f8be9e. Bugbot is set up for automated code reviews on this repo. Configure here.

`crewai eval` reads `.crewai/last_run.json` — the record crewAI writes
when a traced run's spans reach Wharf — and asks AMP to evaluate that
run: POST /crewai_plus/api/v1/tracing/evaluations with the execution id,
sending the saved `crewai login` when there is one and nothing otherwise.
AMP answers with an evaluation id and a URL; the command prints the URL,
opens it, waits for the verdict and prints it (goal gate and the four
grades), exit 1 only when the evaluation itself failed. `--run
EXECUTION_ID` evaluates another run.

With no traced run recorded it offers to turn tracing on for the project
(`CREWAI_TRACING_ENABLED=true` in .env, set_key so nothing else in the
file moves) and run the crew now with `crewai run`; without a terminal, or
declined, it prints the three steps instead. A run that leaves no record
behind is explained, never guessed at.

AMP's refusals are printed in its own words: a run that needs an account
(401 account_required), a refused credential (then `crewai login`), a run
AMP does not hold (404), rate limiting (429 with Retry-After), and any
other status with AMP's message. The two AMP calls live on the CLI's
PlusAPI subclass, so no crewai-core release is needed.

Who may evaluate what is AMP's decision, not the command's: an anonymous
run once without an account, then it needs one; a run traced while logged
in for that organization's members; a deployment execution for members
who may see its traces.

…e right subject, read the whole record

Review findings, each reproduced before the fix:

- The run-it-now offer wrote CREWAI_TRACING_ENABLED into ./.env before
  checking the directory is a crewAI project, then run_crew() died on a
  missing pyproject.toml with a traceback. Now: no pyproject.toml → one
  sentence, exit 1, nothing written.
- httpx errors (AMP unreachable, a timeout) surfaced as tracebacks. Now
  the start says "Could not reach AMP to start the evaluation: …"; while
  waiting, an unreachable AMP or a 5xx is retried up to POLL_RETRIES
  consecutive times, then reported with the URL — the evaluation keeps
  running server-side either way.
- The POST now carries a 120 s timeout (AMP reads the run's spans inside
  it), the poll 30 s.
- A 200 whose body has no known status (a non-dict, no status, a status
  outside queued/running/done/failed) polled forever. Now it stops with
  the status it saw and the URL.
- A 404 without a JSON message read "AMP holds no run <evaluation id>"
  while polling. _refused takes "run <id>" / "evaluation <id>" and says
  "AMP answered 404 for <subject>" — AMP's own message still wins.
- The record's amp_base_url was ignored; the CLI now evaluates the run at
  the AMP it was traced to. --run keeps the configured AMP.
- The post-run explanation names the third cause: a crewai older than the
  version that records the last run.

Tests for each, plus the previously untested paths: Ctrl-C exits 130, a
2xx without an id, a refusal mid-poll, DMN opens no browser, --run skips
the offer. 51 passed in lib/cli/tests (eval + plus_api).

I could not verify the paired AMP endpoint or the last-run writer here. The retry and interruption handling look right.

The notes inline on eval_crew.py are what I'd want addressed before this merges. The other inline notes are small.

Someone else should sign off on this too: lib/cli/src/crewai_cli/cli.py adds the public crewai eval --run EXECUTION_ID contract.

…P; an explicit yes before running the crew; a done answer needs a well-formed verdict

Review findings (CodeRabbit, the PR gate):

- The record's amp_base_url was handed to PlusAPI beside the saved login,
  so a modified .crewai/last_run.json could send the token to any origin.
  The client is now built from the configured AMP only (CREWAI_PLUS_URL,
  the saved settings, app.crewai.com); the project's .env is loaded first,
  as `crewai run` loads it, so the configured AMP is the one the run was
  traced to. A record naming another address gets a one-line note and no
  credential.
- The offer to turn tracing on and run the crew defaults to no and says
  the .env change stays; Enter no longer spends a crew run.
- A `done` answer whose verdict is missing or malformed (no gate, grades
  not an object, a grade not an int or null) is a protocol error, exit 1,
  instead of an INCONCLUSIVE line with exit 0 or an AttributeError.

Tests for each: a foreign origin in the record with a saved token, the
.env-loaded same-AMP case, seven malformed verdicts, the prompt's text and
default. 59 passed (eval + plus_api); ruff and mypy clean.

… Y default; the prompt names both effects)

João's call (2026-09-20): the confirm is y/n with Y as the default. The
prompt still says tracing stays on in .env and that the crew runs now.

I could not verify the paired AMP endpoint, last-run writer, or self-hosted endpoint availability. The recorded-origin fix and malformed-response handling look solid.

The notes inline on eval_crew.py are what I'd want addressed before this merges.

Someone else should sign off on this too: introduces public crewai eval --run EXECUTION_ID behavior and persists CREWAI_TRACING_ENABLED=true to project .env.

…in to; only a missing login reads as anonymous

Two review findings.

- Loading the project's .env (so `crewai eval` asks the AMP the run was
  traced to) also let a project's .env choose where the saved bearer token
  goes. The request still follows the project's CREWAI_PLUS_URL, because
  that is how a self-hosted project is wired and the run really is there,
  but the credential now goes only to an origin this machine is logged in
  to: `crewai enterprise configure`'s saved settings, an address already
  exported in this shell (read before .env is loaded), or app.crewai.com.
  Anywhere else the run is read anonymously and the command says so, naming
  `crewai enterprise configure`. The wider hole is not this command's:
  `crewai run` sends the same token to the same .env-chosen URL, and that
  is worth a separate look.
- saved_login() caught every exception and returned None, so an unreadable
  credential store — a rotated key, a directory left owned by root — read
  as "anonymous", quietly spending the run's one anonymous read and then
  refusing a user who believes they are logged in. Only AuthError means
  anonymous now; anything else is reported with its cause and a pointer to
  `crewai login`. This matches tracing_credential() in the library, which
  catches AuthError alone.

Tests: a project pointing elsewhere is read anonymously with the message
and no token; a shell-exported AMP is trusted; the configured AMP keeps the
token and says nothing; the origin rule itself; AuthError versus an
unreadable store. 41 passed.

🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟡 Minor | ⚡ Quick win

Reject boolean and out-of-range grades.

The documented grade domain is 1..5 | null, but isinstance(grade, int) also accepts bool and values such as 6. These values pass validation, reach _print_verdict, print as completed grades, and allow eval_crew() to return successfully. Accept only exact integers from 1 through 5, or None, and add these payloads to the malformed-verdict tests.

Proposed fix
-            grade is None or isinstance(grade, int)

…integer 1..5

Two CodeRabbit findings on the credential-routing change.

- _origin() accepted http://, so a trusted-but-cleartext AMP would still
  have received the bearer token in a header. The credential now also
  requires an encrypted connection: HTTPS, or plain HTTP to this machine
  (localhost, its subdomains, loopback), which is the rule
  TraceGrantClient already applies to collector grants. Anything else
  reads the run anonymously and says which of the two reasons applies.
- A verdict's grades were checked with isinstance(grade, int), which
  accepts True and 6; both would have printed as real grades and let the
  command exit 0. A grade is now an exact int in 1..5, or null.

Tests: a trusted http origin gets no credential, localhost does, the
encryption rule itself over nine origins, and four more malformed verdicts
(bool, 6, 0, 4.5). 56 passed.

On the outside-diff note about the grade domain: fixed in 0185dc7. isinstance(grade, int) accepted True (a bool is an int in Python) and out-of-range values like 6, both of which would have printed as real grades and let the command exit 0. A grade is now an exact int in 1..5, or null, and the malformed-verdict cases gained True, 6, 0 and 4.5.
