W&B EvalTable previews
Use the bundled helper to preview existing wandb.Table data as wandb.EvalTable data. A preview creates new runs and keys; it never overwrites the source runs or tables.
Read references/EVAL_TABLES.md before converting. It is the canonical source for EvalTable semantics, source selection, limits, column roles, verification, and removal.
Environment
Run the helper from an environment that provides a W&B SDK with wandb.EvalTable and Weave. Use uv to supply missing dependencies:
uv run --with 'wandb[workspaces]>=0.28.1' --with weave \
python skills/wandb-eval-tables/scripts/table_artifact_to_eval_table.py --helpCredentials and default scope may come from WANDB_API_KEY, WANDB_ENTITY, and WANDB_PROJECT; otherwise pass explicit entity/project arguments. Downloads use the operating system's temporary directory, not a fixed current working directory.
Required workflow
- Choose the narrowest source that matches the request: exact artifact, one
run, one sweep, or a project/workspace. Do not broaden an explicitly named source.
- Run
scan. This is read-only preflight and is not proof of conversion. - Review
eligible_summary_by_table_key, table shapes, truncations, warnings,
and existing-preview metadata. Select one table key unless the user asks for a broader batch.
- Classify columns only when confident. Input tuples must uniquely identify
rows; score columns must be numeric or boolean; free-text labels and rationales are outputs. Leave ambiguous tables untyped.
- Run
previewfor exactly one--table-keyper invocation. Keep the target
in the source project unless the user requests another writable project.
- If runs were created, run
verify-previewon the final created run and the
exact logged key. Report success only when it returns verified: true.
- Report created and skipped sources plus every truncation or failed check.

scanandpreview --dry-runare read-only.previewcreates W&B runs,
EvalTables, and Weave evaluations; run it only when the user requested a conversion.
- The helper caps tables at 10,000 rows and 100 columns, warns above 1,000
rows, and refuses more than 50 eligible table artifacts for one key. Surface every cap; never imply a truncated preview is complete.
- Do not bypass helper failures with ad-hoc logging. Narrow or correct helper
arguments, then retry only when the change is safe.
- Removal deletes both Weave evaluations and preview runs. Run
delete-preview --dry-run first, verify every target is helper-created, and obtain confirmation before the irreversible invocation. Never delete source runs.
