Concept: Mastra Evaluations

Purpose: Quality assurance and scoring for LLM outputs.

Last Updated: 2026-01-09

Core Idea

Evaluations in Mastra use Scorers to assess the quality, accuracy, and safety of LLM-generated content. They provide a quantitative way to measure performance and detect issues like hallucinations or factual errors.

Key Points

• Scorers: Specialized functions that take LLM output (and optionally ground truth) and return a score (0-1).
• Integration: Registered in the Mastra instance and can be triggered automatically during workflow execution.
• Metrics: Common metrics include hallucination detection, fact validation, and relevance scoring.
• Audit Trail: Scorer results are stored in the mastra_scorers table for long-term analysis and reporting.

Quick Example

// Scorer definition
export const hallucinationDetector = new Scorer({
  id: 'hallucination-detector',
  description: 'Detects hallucinations in LLM output',
  execute: async ({ output, context }) => {
    // Logic to detect hallucinations
    return { score: 0.95, rationale: 'No hallucinations found' };
  },
});

// Registration
export const mastra = new Mastra({
  scorers: { hallucinationDetector },
});
