Scripts

query_runs.py

Query W&B experiment runs with filtering and sorting.

bash

# List recent runs
python scripts/query_runs.py <entity> <project> --limit 10

# Filter by state
python scripts/query_runs.py my-team my-project --state finished

# Sort by metric (best first)
python scripts/query_runs.py my-team my-project --sort "-summary_metrics.accuracy"

# Custom filter
python scripts/query_runs.py my-team my-project --filter '{"config.model": "gpt-4"}'

Option	Description
`--limit N`	Max results (default: 20)
`--state`	Filter: running, finished, crashed, failed
`--sort`	Sort field (prefix `-` for desc)
`--filter`	JSON filter dict
`--output`	json or table

query_traces.py

Query Weave LLM traces with filtering.

bash

# List recent traces
python scripts/query_traces.py <entity> <project> --limit 50

# Filter by status
python scripts/query_traces.py my-team my-project --status success

# Filter by model
python scripts/query_traces.py my-team my-project --model gpt-4o

# Find slow traces
python scripts/query_traces.py my-team my-project --min-latency 5000

# Count only
python scripts/query_traces.py my-team my-project --count-only

Option	Description
`--limit N`	Max results (default: 50)
`--status`	Filter: success, error, running
`--model`	Filter by model name
`--min-latency`	Min latency in ms
`--roots-only`	Only root traces
`--count-only`	Return count, not data
`--filter`	Custom JSON filter (advanced)

For advanced filter syntax (when --status, --model, --min-latency are not enough), see references/weave_filters.md.

list_projects.py

List entities and projects.

bash

# List all entities and projects
python scripts/list_projects.py

# List projects for specific entity
python scripts/list_projects.py my-team

# List entities only
python scripts/list_projects.py --entities-only

create_report.py

Create W&B reports programmatically.

bash

# Create with inline content
python scripts/create_report.py my-team my-project "Weekly Summary" \
    --content "## Results\n\n- Accuracy: 95%\n- Loss: 0.05"

# Create from markdown file
python scripts/create_report.py my-team my-project "Analysis" --file report.md

# With description
python scripts/create_report.py my-team my-project "Q4 Report" \
    --content "..." --description "Quarterly analysis"

Common Workflows

Analyze Experiment Performance

bash

# 1. Find your project
python scripts/list_projects.py my-team

# 2. Query best runs
python scripts/query_runs.py my-team my-project \
    --state finished \
    --sort "-summary_metrics.accuracy" \
    --limit 10

# 3. Create summary report
python scripts/create_report.py my-team my-project "Best Runs" \
    --content "## Top 10 Runs by Accuracy\n\n..."

Debug LLM Application

bash

# 1. Count errors
python scripts/query_traces.py my-team my-project --status error --count-only

# 2. Get error details
python scripts/query_traces.py my-team my-project --status error --limit 20

# 3. Find slow traces
python scripts/query_traces.py my-team my-project --min-latency 5000
