POST/api/v1/evals/yaml/validate

Lint a YAML eval document

Parses + validates an eval defined in the EvalGuard YAML DSL. Returns valid=true with the typed doc + non-fatal warnings, or valid=false with errors. No execution happens — this is the dashboard's 'is my YAML correct?' check. To run, post the compiled config to /api/v1/evals/run.

Authentication

Send Authorization: Bearer YOUR_API_KEY on every request. Generate API keys at /dashboard/api-keys.
