Inspect

Autodialectics Inspect

Use this skill to examine completed or in-progress pipeline runs and their artifacts.

Prerequisites

autodialectics-mcp must be on PATH (pip install autodialectics).

MCP Tools

• inspect_run(run_id) — retrieve the run manifest: status, decision, scores, timing, and artifact paths.
• read_artifact(run_id, artifact_name) — read a specific artifact by filename. Common artifacts:
  • contract.json — the immutable task contract
  • submission.json — the original task submission
  • execution_output.json — domain executor results
  • verification_result.json — independent verification output
  • evaluation.json — slop scores and gate decision
  • pre_mortem.json — failure predictions (if pre-mortem routing was enabled)

CLI Fallback

autodialectics inspect <run_id>

Guidance

• Start with inspect_run to get the overview, then drill into specific artifacts with read_artifact.
• When summarizing a run, always include: run ID, domain, policy ID, decision, overall score, slop composite.
• If the run status is running or starting, it may still be in progress — wait and re-inspect.
• Compare verification_result against evaluation to understand whether the verifier and evaluator agree.

Arguments

If the user passes a run ID after /autodialectics:inspect, inspect that run and summarize the results.
