Span Assessments

Create span assessment

span_assessments.create(SpanAssessmentCreateParams**kwargs) -> SpanAssessment
POST/v5/span-assessments

Attach a new assessment to a span within a trace.

A span assessment records feedback on a single span’s output. Its assessment_type selects one of comment, rating (an integer 1-5), approval (approved or rejected), rubric (key-value rule pairs), metadata (arbitrary JSON), or overwrite (a corrected span output), and exactly the content field matching that type must be supplied; a free-text comment may additionally accompany any type. trace_id is required, while span_id is optional and, when omitted, the assessment is attached to the trace’s root span. The call returns 404 if the given span_id and trace_id do not identify an existing span, or if no root span is found for the trace. Creating an overwrite for a span that already holds a live overwrite returns 409, whether that overwrite is yours or another user’s. Update or delete the existing one instead. Use the list endpoint to read a span’s or trace’s existing assessments.
