Evaluation

Treat the privacy-review agent like any other piece of code. Declare cases, run them, read the report. Tulip ships a small, dependency-free harness so you don't need an external eval framework for the common cases.

  • EvalCase declares prompt plus expected substrings (positive or negative).
  • EvalRunner runs the agent against every case.
  • EvalReport summarises pass/fail counts and an average score.

Here WARDEN — a tier-1 data-access reviewer — classifies each data-handling request as ALLOW or BLOCK. The suite pins a known-disallowed PII export, a known-allowed aggregate report, and a negative case that guards against the agent inventing a regulation citation no facts support (OWASP LLM09, Misinformation). Run it on every prompt or model change before it reaches production.

Run it (defaults to the bundled mock model; set TULIP_MODEL_PROVIDER to openai / anthropic for a live model):

"""Notebook 55: Evaluation — regression-test a privacy-review agent on known requests.

Treat the privacy-review agent (WARDEN, the tier-1 data-access reviewer)
like any other policy rule: it gets a regression suite. Declare
known-disallowed and known-allowed data-handling requests as cases, run
them on every change, read the report. A prompt or model swap that
quietly starts approving exports of raw customer PII — or inventing a
specific regulation citation that no facts support (OWASP LLM09,
Misinformation) — fails the suite before it reaches production. Tulip
ships a small, dependency-free harness so you don't need an external
eval framework for the common cases.

- EvalCase declares a request prompt plus expected substrings (the
  decision it must reach — or the claims it must not invent).
- EvalRunner runs the agent against every case.
- EvalReport summarises pass/fail counts and an average score.
