Foundry evaluations and release quality gates

Runtime assurance 4 hours in a non-production POC

Chapter 3 of 6

Confirm the following:

  • The platform inventory names the exact nonproduction Foundry resource, project, policy-assistant agent, approved version, candidate version, and stable-endpoint selector. The platform owner confirms that its stable endpoint selects the approved version. (The model-governance, governed-agent, Agent 365 access-boundary, and MCP security controls establish these prerequisites.)
  • The approved and candidate versions are different immutable versions of the policy-assistant agent.
  • The operator and project managed identity have Foundry User on the exact project.
  • A network-isolated project has the approved delegated evaluation subnet.
  • The quality owner has confirmed same-day regional and evaluator support.
  • The tool owner has approved tool-call evaluators for the Function Tool path.
  • The cost owner has approved judge-model and evaluation consumption.
  • The golden set contains synthetic content only. Each JSONL row stays below 2 MB, and the batch stays within 100,000 rows.
