eval-result-interpreter

A guide for reading Copilot Studio agent evaluation results, where test cases measure whether an AI agent behaves as expected. It produces a SHIP, ITERATE, or BLOCK decision and links failures to likely causes and fixes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it after running Copilot Studio evaluations to diagnose failed cases, identify root causes, choose remediation, and set up ongoing improvement.
Why use it?
It turns raw scores and failed tests into a clear decision about release readiness. It also helps separate problems in the tests from problems in the agent itself.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

eval-result-interpreter scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 437 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Purpose

This skill takes eval results — a Copilot Studio evaluation CSV file, a pasted summary, or plain-English description of results — and produces a structured triage report. It is the standalone Interpret skill in the operational workflow: plan → generate → run → interpret. In the 10-step playbook, it reads the baseline (Step 6), drives diagnosis (Step 7), and designs the Step 9 optimization loop. The output tells you whether to ship, what broke, why it broke, and what to fix first.

This skill is grounded in Practical Guidance on Agent Evaluation: a 10-step playbook. It uses Step 6 to read baseline results with agent version and timestamp, Step 7 to classify failures into eval-setup vs agent-quality problems, and Step 9 to define the production feedback loop. MS Learn evaluation resources remain useful supporting references, but the 10-step playbook is the canonical methodology.

Knowledge source: This skill's analysis framework is grounded in the 10-step playbook plus Microsoft's Triage & Improvement Playbook diagnostics — SHIP/ITERATE/BLOCK gate interpretation, failure verification, remediation mapping, and pattern analysis.

When to use this skill vs. eval-triage-and-improvement

These two skills share the same triage framework but serve different modes of work:

Use eval-result-interpreter when… Use eval-triage-and-improvement when…
You have a CSV file or concrete results and want a one-shot structured report You want interactive guidance walking through diagnosis step by step
This is your first look at results — you need a verdict and top actions fast You are in an ongoing improvement loop — fixing, re-running, and re-triaging
You want a customer-deliverable artifact (the .docx triage report) You need detailed remediation help for specific eval-set failures (e.g., "wrong tool fires — now what?")
The eval run is relatively straightforward (<20 failures) You have many failures (15+) and need help prioritizing which to investigate
You need the activity map / result comparison tool recommendations inline You need the playbook worked examples and deeper diagnostic walkthroughs

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

eval-result-interpreter is a skill published in the GitHub repository microsoft/eval-guide (127 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 65 tokens to every session and 8,510 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
