## What it does

The skill ships a script at `scripts/fetch_metrics.py`. It queries an MLflow tracking server and returns aggregates for an experiment: `SUM`, `AVG`, `MIN`, `MAX`, `P50`, `P95`, `P99` or `COUNT`. Available metrics are `trace_count`, `latency`, `input_tokens`, `output_tokens` and `total_tokens`.

Results can be grouped by `trace_name` or `trace_status`; for SPANS metrics add `-v SPANS`. Time bucketing uses `-t` in seconds, so 3600 gives hourly buckets and 86400 daily ones. The `--start-time` and `--end-time` flags accept `-24h`, `-7d`, `now`, ISO 8601 or epoch ms. Output is a table by default, and `-o json` switches to JSON.

Three arguments are required: `-s` for the server URL, `-x` for experiment IDs and `-m` for the metric. Skip any of them and the script stops, so confirm the server is reachable and the IDs are right first. Quality scores sit behind a separate flag: use `-v ASSESSMENTS` with `assessment_value` or `assessment_count`.

Filter syntax and the full API live in `references/api_reference.md`.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mlflow/skills --skill querying-mlflow-metrics -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/querying-mlflow-metrics/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/querying-mlflow-metrics/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mlflow/skills --skill querying-mlflow-metrics -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/querying-mlflow-metrics/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mlflow/skills --skill querying-mlflow-metrics -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/querying-mlflow-metrics/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install mlflow/skills querying-mlflow-metrics
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/querying-mlflow-metrics/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mlflow/skills --skill querying-mlflow-metrics -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/mlflow/skills --path querying-mlflow-metrics
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/querying-mlflow-metrics/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add mlflow/skills --skill querying-mlflow-metrics -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/mlflow/skills/tree/HEAD/querying-mlflow-metrics/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- check total token spend for an experiment
- chart an hourly token trend over the last day
- pull latency percentiles broken down by trace
- count errors grouped by trace status
- compare average quality scores across evaluators

## Example prompts
- show total token usage for experiment 1
- plot the hourly total_tokens trend for the last 24 hours
- give me P95 latency by trace_name as JSON

# MLflow Metrics

Run `scripts/fetch_metrics.py` to query metrics from an MLflow tracking server.

## Examples

**Token usage summary:**
```bash
python scripts/fetch_metrics.py -s http://localhost:5000 -x 1 -m total_tokens -a SUM,AVG
```
Output: `AVG: 223.91  SUM: 7613`

**Hourly token trend (last 24h):**
```bash
python scripts/fetch_metrics.py -s http://localhost:5000 -x 1 -m total_tokens -a SUM \
    -t 3600 --start-time="-24h" --end-time=now
```
Output: Time-bucketed token sums per hour

**Latency percentiles by trace:**
```bash
python scripts/fetch_metrics.py -s http://localhost:5000 -x 1 -m latency -a AVG,P95 -d trace_name
```

**Error rate by status:**
```bash
python scripts/fetch_metrics.py -s http://localhost:5000 -x 1 -m trace_count -a COUNT -d trace_status
```

**Quality scores by evaluator (assessments):**
```bash
python scripts/fetch_metrics.py -s http://localhost:5000 -x 1 -v ASSESSMENTS \
    -m assessment_value -a AVG,P50 -d assessment_name
```
Output: Average and median scores for each evaluator (e.g., correctness, relevance)

**Assessment count by name:**
```bash
python scripts/fetch_metrics.py -s http://localhost:5000 -x 1 -v ASSESSMENTS \
    -m assessment_count -a COUNT -d assessment_name
```

**JSON output:** Add `-o json` to any command.

## Arguments
