The problem

The dashboard_summary test kind drives POST /api/v1/ai/workspaces/{ws}/summary. Nothing in the product reaches that endpoint.

Clicking a dashboard's Summarize menu item drops the user into the assistant with "Summarize this dashboard" pre-filled, so real summaries are produced by the conversational dashboard_summary skill. The endpoint is a separate capability for API/embedding consumers, gated by its own flag ENABLE_GEN_AI_HEADLESS_SUMMARY and enforced in afm-exec-api before gen-ai is reached.

Consequence: every dashboard_summary result ever recorded — 36 of them, across 12 consecutive days — is a 400, and not one summary has ever been graded. The two paths share an idea and nothing else: different flag, different prompt, different tools, different failure modes.

This adds agentic_dashboard_summary for the path users take. It does not remove the existing kind — if someone ships an embedded summarize button, that coverage is still worth having.

Making the skill engage

More than a dashboard id is needed, and the failure is silent. dashboard_summary_skill reads userContext.view.dashboard and collects only widgets carrying a result_id:

for widget in user_context.view.dashboard.widgets:
    if widget.insight is not None:
        if widget.insight.result_id:   # no result_id -> dropped from the summarize scope

Probed live against micdiagnose-dev:

Sent Agent's reply
dashboard.id only "I can't summarize this dashboard… no dashboard charts were provided"
id + widget descriptors, no resultId "these visualizations need to be reloaded"
id + descriptors with resultId a real summary, with real figures

In the browser those ids exist because the client already rendered the widgets. The runner reproduces that deliberately: walk the layout, execute each insight via sdk.compute.for_exec_def(...).result_id, send what execution produced. Verified end to end against a 25-widget dashboard, all criteria graded.

Scoring is unchanged

DashboardSummaryEvaluator grades free text against must_include / must_not_include / rubric and does not care which transport produced the text. The 32 existing fixtures port over by moving the dashboard id to the field this kind reads.

Shape notes

  • Widgets are executed once and reused across K runs. Result ids name cached executions, so re-running them per K would multiply the item's dominant cost without changing what the assistant sees.
  • Partial coverage is reported, not hidden. A widget that fails to execute is left out of the context (the skill would drop it regardless) but still counted, and detail carries widgets_executed / widgets_total. A rubric naming a widget that never ran fails for a reason that is not the agent's, and that must be visible without opening the trace.
  • max_widgets bounds the executions for wide dashboards — 29 widgets is 29 executions per item.
  • The dashboard entity is read over plain HTTP. entities_api validates the entity's timestamp fields with a regex and raises TypeError: expected string or bytes-like object, got 'datetime.datetime', so the typed accessor cannot read a dashboard at all today. Noted in the code; worth a separate fix in the generated client.
  • A ChatError is recorded on the run rather than raised, so it cannot discard the K-runs already completed — same contract as feat(gooddata-eval): record why an agentic simulated-user loop stopped #1789.

Tests

15 new unit tests: layout walking (nested tabs/sections, rich-text skipping, dedupe), context building (result ids, failed-widget exclusion, max_widgets), run behaviour (coverage reporting, execute-once-across-K, chat-error recording and K-run preservation), and the evaluate_* wrapper (detail contents, raise-with-detail).

The two staleness guards — _ALL_AGENTIC_KIND_CASES and _EVALUATE_FUNCS — both caught the new kind as designed and are updated.

795 passed, lint and format clean.

Follow-up, not in this PR

The eval repo's 32 fixtures need their dashboard id moved and agentic_dashboard_summary enabling. Two of the eight English fixtures also carry dashboard ids that no longer exist in the workspace — including the only one that ever ran — so those need re-pinning regardless of which kind they feed.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added agentic dashboard-summary evaluations for assessing generated summaries against expected content.
    • Evaluations now gather context from dashboard visualizations, including nested layouts and widget results.
    • Added repeated-run scoring, widget coverage, timing details, and graceful reporting of visualization or chat failures.
    • Added support for configuring dashboard-summary evaluations through the evaluation runner.
  • Tests

    • Added comprehensive coverage for dashboard traversal, context generation, execution reuse, error handling, scoring, and reporting.

The dashboard_summary kind drives POST /api/v1/ai/workspaces/{ws}/summary. Nothing
in the product reaches that endpoint: the dashboard's "Summarize" menu item drops
the user into the assistant with "Summarize this dashboard" pre-filled, so real
summaries come from the conversational dashboard_summary skill. The endpoint is a
separate capability for API/embedding consumers, behind its own feature flag
(ENABLE_GEN_AI_HEADLESS_SUMMARY), enforced in afm-exec-api before gen-ai is reached
-- which is why all 36 dashboard_summary results ever recorded are 400s and not one
summary has been graded.

Adds agentic_dashboard_summary, covering the path users take.

Getting the skill to engage needs more than a dashboard id. It reads
userContext.view.dashboard and keeps only widgets carrying a result_id -- one
without is dropped from the summarize scope, so an id alone answers "no dashboard
charts were provided" and bare descriptors answer "these visualizations need to be
reloaded". The browser has those ids because it rendered the widgets, so the runner
does the same deliberately: walk the layout, execute each insight, send the result
ids execution produced. Verified live against a 25-widget dashboard.

Scoring is unchanged -- DashboardSummaryEvaluator grades free text against
must_include/must_not_include/rubric and does not care about the transport, so the
existing fixtures port over by moving the dashboard id from summary_input to the
same field this kind reads.

Notes on the shape:

- Widgets are executed once and their result ids reused across K runs; they name
  cached executions, so re-running per K would multiply the item's dominant cost.
- A widget that fails to execute is left out of the context (the skill would drop
  it anyway) but still counted, and detail carries widgets_executed/widgets_total
  -- a rubric naming a widget that never ran fails for a reason that is not the
  agent's, and that has to be visible without opening the trace.
- max_widgets bounds the executions for wide dashboards.
- The dashboard entity is read over plain HTTP: entities_api validates the entity's
  timestamps with a regex and raises TypeError on a datetime, so the typed accessor
  cannot read a dashboard at all today.
- A ChatError is recorded on the run rather than raised, so it cannot discard the
  K-runs already completed.

Layer / File(s) Summary
Dashboard context and widget execution
packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/core/agentic/dashboard_summary.py, packages/gooddata-eval/tests/test_agentic_dashboard_summary.py
The evaluator discovers nested insight widgets, executes visualizations, handles execution failures, applies widget limits, and builds context entries with result IDs.
Conversation runs and evaluation reporting
packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/core/agentic/dashboard_summary.py, packages/gooddata-eval/tests/test_agentic_dashboard_summary.py
The evaluator runs K conversations, reuses widget results, handles chat errors, computes pass metrics, records coverage and latency, raises detailed assertion errors, and submits trace scores.
CLI registration and integration tests
packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/cli/agentic_runner.py, packages/gooddata-eval/tests/test_agentic_runner.py, packages/gooddata-eval/tests/test_trace_linker.py
The CLI registers agentic_dashboard_summary, validates summary_input, dispatches the dashboard ID and evaluation parameters, and extends dispatch and trace-linker coverage.

The comment contradicts the code and the CLI dispatch.

The comment states the prompt is kept verbatim and is not taken from the fixture. The runner sends question as the prompt (Lines 340 and 350), and _dispatch_agentic passes item.question (packages/gooddata-eval/src/gooddata_eval/cli/agentic_runner.py Line 245) with the opposite rationale. _DEFAULT_PROMPT is only a fallback for direct callers.

Update this comment so it describes _DEFAULT_PROMPT as the default when no fixture question is supplied.

A failure in create_conversation discards the K-runs already completed.

Lines 217-219 state that a failed run must be recorded rather than raised, because raising discards completed runs. _run_single_dashboard_summary honors that for ChatError, but client.create_conversation() on Line 347 runs outside any handler. If conversation creation fails on run 2 of 3, the exception propagates out of run_agentic_dashboard_summary and run 1 is lost.

Record the failure as a chat-error run instead.

Avoid calling private gooddata_sdk.table helpers from _execute_widget.

gooddata-sdk~=1.74.0 permits patch releases, but _vis_is_table and _get_exec_for_pivot are private symbols. If either changes, _execute_widget can raise AttributeError; _vis_is_table affects every widget, while _get_exec_for_pivot affects pivot widgets. Use a public execution API or add an explicit compatibility guard.

max_widgets is not reachable from a fixture.

evaluate_agentic_dashboard_summary accepts max_widgets, and the runner docstring presents it as the way to bound execution cost. This dispatch never passes it, so every fixture executes the full dashboard. A thirty-widget dashboard therefore costs thirty executions per item with no way to cap it from the fixture.

If summary_input (or expected_output) carries a widget limit, forward it here. Check the model first:

#!/bin/bash

Four points from review, three of them behavioural.

create_conversation() in the K-run loop sat outside any handler, so a transient
failure on run 2 of 3 discarded run 1 -- the exact contract the ChatError path
next to it exists to keep. Recorded as a failed run instead.

max_widgets was documented as the way to bound execution cost but the CLI
dispatch never passed it, so every fixture executed the whole dashboard: thirty
widgets is thirty executions per item. Fixtures now bound it by naming the charts
they assert on, through summary_input.visualizations -- the same field and meaning
the headless /summary endpoint gives it, and stable as a dashboard grows in a way
a positional cap is not. max_widgets stays as a blunt cap for direct callers.

_execute_widget borrows two private helpers from gooddata_sdk.table under a
~=1.74.0 dependency, so a patch release may rename them. It now checks for all
three up front and raises naming the dependency, rather than surfacing an
AttributeError on the first widget of a run. The docstring also records why the
public sdk.tables.for_visualization is not used: it reads the whole result into an
ExecutionTable and returns that, discarding the result id this needs and paying
for every row to do it.

_DEFAULT_PROMPT's comment claimed the prompt is kept verbatim rather than taken
from the fixture, while the dispatch passes item.question with the opposite
rationale written beside it. The dispatch is right -- a localized fixture is only
meaningful if its own wording reaches the agent -- so the comment now describes
the constant as the default for direct callers.

Five tests added; the three behavioural ones verified to fail against the previous
version. 800 passed, lint and format clean.

All four addressed in a86cd427. Three were behavioural and all three were fair hits.

create_conversation outside the handler. Correct, and it's the same bug #1789 just fixed elsewhere — I guarded send_message and left the line directly above it bare, so a transient failure on run 2 of 3 discarded run 1. Recorded as a failed run now, with the empty conversation_id naturally excluded from trace scoring as you noted.

max_widgets unreachable from a fixture. Also correct — I built the cap, documented it as the cost control, then never wired it. Rather than forward the numeric cap, fixtures now bound cost by naming the charts they assert on via summary_input.visualizations: same field and meaning the headless /summary endpoint gives it, and it stays correct as a dashboard grows, which a positional cap does not. Names match against either the visualization id or the widget id, since a fixture author reading the AAC sees both. max_widgets stays as a blunt cap for direct callers and the docstring now says so.

Private gooddata_sdk.table helpers. Fair. _execute_widget now checks all three symbols up front and raises naming the dependency, so an SDK bump reads as a dependency problem instead of an AttributeError on the first widget of a run. I kept the private call rather than switching to the public API, and recorded why in the docstring: sdk.tables.for_visualization reads the whole result into an ExecutionTable and returns that, which discards the result id this needs and pays for every row to do it. Two tests pin it — one that the guard fires when the symbols vanish, one that it passes against the installed SDK so it can't become a permanent tripwire.

The _DEFAULT_PROMPT comment. Right, and the contradiction was within one commit: the comment said the prompt is kept verbatim while the dispatch passed item.question with the opposite rationale beside it. The dispatch is correct — a localized fixture is only meaningful if its own wording reaches the agent — so the comment now describes the constant as the default for direct callers.

Five tests added. The three behavioural ones were each verified to fail against the previous version before being kept. 800 passed, lint and format clean.

On the merge-risk summary: all three concerns it named are now closed. The remaining Docstring Coverage warning is mostly test functions, which carry their intent in their names and docstrings where the reasoning is non-obvious.
