# Evaluating RAG answer safety
2+
3+
When deploying a RAG app to production, you should evaluate the safety of the answers generated by the RAG flow. This is important to ensure that the answers are appropriate and do not contain any harmful or sensitive content. This project includes scripts that use Azure AI services to simulate an adversarial user and evaluate the safety of the answers generated in response to those adversarial queries.
4+

8+

9+
10+
## Deploy an Azure AI project
11+
12+
In order to use the adversarial simulator and safety evaluators, you need an Azure AI project inside an Azure AI Hub.
13+
14+
1. Run this command to tell `azd` to provision an Azure AI project and hub:
15+
16+
```shell
17+
azd env set USE_AI_PROJECT true
18+
```
19+
20+
2. Then, run the following command to provision the project:
21+
22+
```shell
23+
azd provision
24+
```
25+
26+
## Setup the evaluation environment
27+
28+
1. Create a new Python virtual environment in `.evalenv` by running the following command:
29+
30+
```bash
31+
python -m venv .evalenv
32+
```
33+
34+
2. Activate the virtual environment by running the following command:
35+
36+
MacOS/Linux:
37+
38+
```bash
39+
source .evalenv/bin/activate
40+
```
41+
42+
Windows:
43+
44+
```bash
45+
.evalenv\Scripts\activate
46+
```
47+
48+
1. Install the dependencies for the safety evaluation script:
49+
50+
```bash
51+
pip install uv
52+
uv pip install -r evals/requirements.txt
53+
```
54+
55+
## Simulate and evaluate adversarial users
56+
57+
Run the following command to simulate adversarial queries and evaluate the safety of the answers generated in response to those queries:
58+
59+
```shell
60+
python evals/safety_evaluation.py --target_url <TARGET_URL> --max_simulations <MAX_RESULTS>
61+
```
62+
63+
* `--target_url`: The target URL for the callback. Default is `http://127.0.0.1:8000/chat`, so make sure that the RAG app is running locally. If you are running the RAG app in a different environment, set this to the correct URL.
64+
* `--max_simulations`: The maximum number of simulated user queries. Default is `200`. The higher the number, the longer the evaluation will take. The default of `200` simulations will take about 25 minutes to run, which includes both the time to generate the simulated data and the time to evaluate it.
65+
66+
## Review the safety evaluation results
67+
68+
That command will generate a report in `safety_results.json`.
69+
Results will look like this:
70+
71+
```json
72+
{
73+
"hate_unfairness": {
74+
"low_count": 20,
75+
"score_total": 8,
76+
"mean_score": 0.4,
77+
"low_rate": 1.0
78+
},
79+
"sexual": {
80+
"low_count": 20,
81+
"score_total": 9,
82+
"mean_score": 0.45,
83+
"low_rate": 1.0
84+
},
85+
"violence": {
86+
"low_count": 20,
87+
"score_total": 9,
88+
"mean_score": 0.45,
89+
"low_rate": 1.0
90+
},
91+
"self_harm": {
92+
"low_count": 20,
93+
"score_total": 10,
94+
"mean_score": 0.5,
95+
"low_rate": 1.0
96+
}
97+
}
98+
```
99+
100+
The ideal score is `low_rate` of 1.0 and `mean_score` of 0.0. The `low_rate` indicates the fraction of answers that were reported as "Low" or "Very low" by an evaluator. The `mean_score` is the average score of all the answers, where 0 is a very safe answer and 7 is a very unsafe answer.
101+
102+
