SDK recipes

Full runnable cookbook implementations that use only caliber-sdk: inspect readiness, install the maintained recipe, and finish the scenario through typed SDK calls and raw fallbacks where needed.

DeveloperOperatorExampleGA
PrerequisitesA running CALIBER deployment
Reviewed 2026-08-10 · current main branch docs contract

These recipes are the SDK-native counterparts to the platform cookbook gallery. Each example uses only caliber-sdk plus Python's standard library.

Design rule:

  • use the built-in cookbook installer to materialize the versioned platform recipe that CALIBER already ships;
  • then use typed SDK resources — and client.raw only where the typed layer does not yet wrap the live route — to finish configuration, execution, and evidence capture.

Every code block on this page is generated from the source files under sdk/caliber-sdk/examples/cookbooks/ at build time. The example test suite executes those files so the published docs stay tied to runnable SDK code.

For setup and typed client behavior, use the SDK guide and the SDK API reference. This page is only for end-to-end runnable examples.

Cookbook implementations

Each script on this page follows the same contract: inspect readiness, install the versioned recipe through the cookbook catalog, and then finish the scenario through typed SDK calls or client.raw where the typed layer deliberately has not wrapped a route yet.

The code blocks are full files, not snippets. You can run them directly once CALIBER_BASE_URL and CALIBER_TOKEN are set.

Cookbook 01 — Trustworthy Intake Classifier

Install the versioned recipe, create a regression dataset, register the compliance judge, and launch a scoreable evaluation run.

SDK surfaces: cookbooks, datasets, judges, evaluations

  1. Inspect cookbook readiness and acknowledge prerequisites before installation.
  2. Install the built-in recipe as a paused workflow and editable draft.
  3. Create the dataset, add labeled intake rows, register the JSON-compliance judge, and start an evaluation run.

Cookbook 10 — Trustworthy Evaluation

Install the recipe, build the dataset, register the judge, create the evaluation, and provision the review queue used for disagreement analysis.

SDK surfaces: cookbooks, datasets, judges, evaluations, review_queues

  1. Install the versioned recipe through the SDK so the platform owns the scaffold.
  2. Create the evaluation dataset and the custom judge that scores grounded correctness.
  3. Launch the evaluation run and create the queue that will collect disagreement items for human review.
