Reviewing model outputs by hand is an important part of evaluating quality. EP makes this process simple by offering an easy-to-use, locally hosted UI you can set up in minutes. To start the UI, simply run the following command and open your browser to http://localhost:8000.
CLI
ep logs
Ensure the eval-protocol package is installed so the ep CLI is available.
# Add to your project (installs the `ep` CLI in your environment)
uv add eval-protocol

# Verify installation
uv run ep --version
Once you navigate to the UI at http://localhost:8000, you will see a table of evaluation rows that you can click to inspect.

First look at the UI

Whenever you run an @evaluation_test—whether from the VSCode Test Explorer/Debugger or from the CLI via pytest—the UI automatically shows running tests and you can watch rollouts live in the chat interface. When a test finishes, detailed evaluation results appear to the right of the chat. Tests are stored under a SQLite database on your local device at .eval_protocol/logs.db in the root of your Python project. To run your tests in CLI, you use the pytest command directly. 
# Run your tests (UI will reflect live rollouts)
uv run pytest
You can also run tests in your IDE. Once you have your tests running, you can open the UI at http://localhost:8000 to monitor rollouts live.
