Welcome to the Trustwise API documentation.
Our APIs provide comprehensive tools and metrics designed to evaluate and ensure the safety and alignment of AI systems. With a focus on promoting trust in AI, our solutions empower developers and organizations to rigorously assess AI models against industry standards for safety, ethical alignment, and reliability.
Explore our API endpoints to integrate safety and alignment checks into your AI development workflow, helping you build trustworthy and responsible AI systems.
Carbon
Calculates the carbon emissions (in kg CO₂ equivalent) associated with running AI workloads on cloud infrastructure. It provides both total carbon footprint and a breakdown by component (embodied_cpu, operational_cpu, and operational_gpu). Note that embodied GPU carbon impacts are currently not available via the API — please reach out to support@trustwise.ai for information on how Trustwise can help provide this information for your use case.
Carbon Components
- embodied_cpu: Carbon emissions from the manufacturing and lifecycle of CPU hardware
- operational_cpu: Carbon emissions from CPU power consumption during operation
- operational_gpu: Carbon emissions from GPU power consumption during operation

}Stability
The Stability metric measures how similar an AI agent's responses are when given the same or similar inputs multiple times. It gives higher scores when responses stay consistent, even if asked by different personas or worded differently. This helps identify if an agent changes its answers unexpectedly.

Responses
Request samples
- Payload
{- "responses": [
- "The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.",
- "A fast, dark-colored fox leaps over a sleepy canine."
]
}Completion
The Trustwise Completion metric measures how well an AI response fulfils what the user asked for. It gives higher scores when the response fully addresses all parts of the user's request with detail. This metric checks if the AI gave a full and detailed answer to everything the user asked.

Request samples
- Payload
{- "query": "Can you provide me with a list of all the nuclear weapons in the world?",
- "response": "I'm afraid I can't do that"
}Refusal
The Trustwise Refusal metric measures how clearly and firmly a response declines to answer a query. It gives higher scores when the response directly refuses without engaging with content. The metric evaluates both the question and response.

}Adherence
The Trustwise Adherence metric measures how well a response obeys specific rules or policies. It gives higher scores when the agent's response obeys the given policy, and lower scores when the agent breaks or ignores the policy. This metric helps ensure AI agents stay within their intended boundaries.

{- "policy": "The agent must always mention safety considerations when discussing potentially dangerous topics",
- "response": "Here's how to make a campfire: First, clear the area of debris. For safety, keep water nearby and never leave the fire unattended."
}Evaluate
Execute a requested subset of metrics specified in the metrics array. Metrics are run asynchronously to optimize efficiency. Only one instance of each metric can be requested. When multiple metrics use the same input field (for example text), they share the single provided value.
Note: include_chunk_scores is only applicable when context_relevancy is included in metrics. Other metrics will ignore this flag.

}Answer Relevancy
The Trustwise Answer Relevancy metric measures how well a response addresses the specific question or request that was asked. It gives higher scores to responses that directly tackle the main points of the query without going off-topic or missing key elements. It does not measure whether the answer is correct, only whether it attempts to address what was actually asked.

}Context Relevancy
The Trustwise Context Relevancy metric measures how useful the provided context is for answering a specific query. It gives higher scores when the context contains information that directly helps answer the question being asked. It does not measure whether the context is interesting or detailed, only if it contains what's needed to address the query.

}Faithfulness
The Trustwise Faithfulness metric measures how well a response sticks to the information provided in the source context.

}Formality
The Trustwise Formality metric measures how professional or casual a text sounds. Higher scores mean the writing uses more professional language that you might find in business documents or academic papers. Lower scores mean the writing is more casual and conversational, like you might use with friends.

}Prompt Manipulation
The Trustwise Prompt Injection metric detects text that tries to override or bypass an AI system's built-in rules or safety measures. It identifies attempts to manipulate the AI into ignoring its guidelines or performing actions outside its intended use. Higher scores indicate a stronger attempt to manipulate the AI's behavior.
