Run Evaluation (PPAPI)

Run evaluations against a Copilot Studio agent’s draft — no publish needed.

The caller (test agent) must provide --client-id and --workspace. If you don’t have the client ID, return immediately and tell the caller to run test-auth first.

All eval-api commands run in the foreground. NEVER use run_in_background.

Step 1: List test sets and let the user choose

node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/eval-api.bundle.js list-testsets --workspace <path> --client-id <id>

• No test sets found: Tell the user to create one in Copilot Studio (Evaluate tab > New evaluation). Stop.
• One test set: Tell the user which one you’re using and proceed.
• Multiple test sets: Show them all and ask the user to pick. Do not proceed until they answer.

Step 2: Ask about authenticated execution — MANDATORY, do not skip

You MUST ask this question and wait for the user’s answer before starting the run.

Ask the user:

Does your agent use authenticated knowledge sources or connector actions (tools) that require user identity? If so, you’ll need to provide a connection ID — without it, the eval runs anonymously and tools and knowledge sources will not be used.

How to obtain the connection ID:

1. Go to https://make.powerautomate.com
2. Open Connections from the side menu
3. Select the relevant Microsoft Copilot Studio connection
4. Copy the connection ID from the URL (the GUID segment after /connections/)

If your agent doesn’t use authenticated knowledge or tools, you can skip this.

Do not proceed to Step 3 until the user responds.

Step 3: Start the run

node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/eval-api.bundle.js start-run --workspace <path> --client-id <id> --testset-id <id> --run-name "Draft eval <date>"

Add --connection-id <id> if the user provided a connection ID in Step 2.

Add --published only if the user explicitly asked for published-bot testing.

Step 4: Poll until complete

node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/eval-api.bundle.js get-run --workspace <path> --client-id <id> --run-id <runId>

Poll every 15-30 seconds. Report progress: “Processing: 3/10 test cases…”

Stop when state is Completed, Failed, Abandoned, or Cancelled.

Step 5: Fetch and analyze results

node ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/../../scripts/eval-api.bundle.js get-results --workspace <path> --client-id <id> --run-id <runId>

Present a summary table (total, passed, failed, errors). For failures:

Step 6: Propose fixes (if failures found)

For YAML authoring failures: find the relevant topic, read it, propose specific edits. Wait for user approval before applying.

After applying: offer to push and re-run (go back to Step 3).
