RagaAI Catalyst

Stale
GitHub Python Apache-2.0

Description

RagaAI Catalyst is an observability, monitoring, and evaluation framework for Agent AI, supporting agent/LLM/tool tracing, multi-agent debugging, and self-hosted dashboard analytics.

Key Features

  • Comprehensive LLM project management: project management, dataset management, evaluation, tracing, and prompt management in one platform
  • Agentic Tracing module: tracks agent/LLM/tool call full chains, monitors token usage and execution patterns
  • Built-in evaluation metrics (Faithfulness, Hallucination, etc.) with custom thresholds and batch evaluation support
  • Synthetic data generation capability for automatic creation of test datasets for model evaluation
  • Guardrail management and red-teaming to ensure LLM application security and reliability

Use Cases

💡 Evaluating RAG application answer faithfulness and hallucination rates for continuous retrieval quality improvement
💡 Monitoring multi-agent system runtime status, tracking each agent's decision-making process and tool calls
💡 Managing prompt versions and performing A/B tests to compare different prompting strategies
💡 Discovering security vulnerabilities and potential risks in LLM applications through red-teaming

Strengths & Limitations

Strengths

  • High community interest (16.2k stars)
  • Permissive open-source license (Apache-2.0)
  • Established track record (2 years in production)
  • Responsive to issues, low backlog

⚠️ Limitations

  • No updates in over 6 months

Quick Start

Install: pip install ragaai-catalyst; generate Access Key and Secret Key in profile settings; initialize RagaAICatalyst instance with credentials; create project with catalyst.create_project(); record traces via Tracer; add evaluation metrics with Evaluation class and retrieve results.
