Implement Tool Routing Evaluation Framework
Problem to solve
As a developer working on AI tool integration, I want a systematic evaluation framework for tool routing, so I can objectively measure and improve the quality of tool descriptions, titles, argument descriptions, and routing decisions.
Currently, we lack a tool routing evaluation system, which makes it extremely difficult to:
- Evaluate the quality of tool descriptions, titles, and argument descriptions
- Assess how well the system routes requests to appropriate tools
- Make data-driven decisions when modifying or adding new tools
- Ensure consistent tool performance across different scenarios
Proposal
Implement a configurable tool routing evaluation framework with the following capabilities:
- Leverage existing infrastructure: Investigate if we can extend the current evaluation platform to support tool routing evaluation
- Alternative implementation: If the existing platform isn't suitable, create a dedicated evaluation repository using LangSmith's evaluation features or alternatives
-
Core features:
- Configurable test cases
- Automated evaluation scheduling and triggering
- Support for different tool routing scenarios
The framework should be able to systematically evaluate:
- Tool selection accuracy
- Tool description clarity and completeness
- Argument parsing and validation
- Overall routing performance
Further details
Benefits:
- Objective measurement of tool routing quality
- Data-driven insights for tool improvements
- Systematic approach to tool modification and addition
- Automated quality assurance for tool-related changes
- Performance benchmarking across different tool configurations
Use Cases:
- Evaluating new tool integrations before deployment
- Monitoring tool performance degradation over time
- Validating tool modifications don't negatively impact existing functionality
Success Criteria:
- Framework can evaluate tool routing accuracy with configurable agent and tool specs
- Automated reports provide actionable insights for tool improvements
- Integration with CI/CD pipeline for continuous evaluation
- Support for both scheduled and on-demand evaluation runs
