Jev with Agents in Microsoft Foundry
A Microsoft community walkthrough that wires Jev into a Microsoft Foundry agent as an OpenAPI tool, then uses it as a judgment layer that evaluates a generative model's answers against explicit criteria with confidence scores.

Highlights
- Adds Jev to a Foundry agent as an OpenAPI tool pointed at https://api.typesafe.ai/v1/systemone, with jev-latest as the model.
- The connection key uses the form Bearer apikey_<the rest of your key>; the schema covers Noul, Choice, and Score questions.
- Pricing cited as of September 2026: jev-1.13.0 at $0.042 per million input tokens, free output tokens, and 250,000 tokens per second.
- Positions Jev as a separate judgment layer: a model generates, Jev evaluates against explicit criteria, and deterministic logic acts.
- The worked example asks billing, tone, and urgency questions about a hotel complaint and prints the agent's reply with Jev's output.
Watch out
A Microsoft community blog post by Robin Lester, not a product announcement, and preview access plus a TypeSafe API key are required. It notes Jev does not replace SHAP-style feature attribution, and the pricing and rate limits are dated September 2026 and marked as subject to change.
Questions about this entry
Short answers drawn from the linked project or page.
Treat Jev as a specialised judgment or evaluation component alongside your generative models: a Foundry model or agent produces an output, Jev evaluates it against predefined criteria, and deterministic logic decides whether the workflow may continue.
Create a new agent, add a Tool, and select OpenAPI tool; point it at https://api.typesafe.ai/v1/systemone, create a connection whose key has the form Bearer apikey_<the rest of your key>, and paste the supplied schema.
Three about a hotel complaint: a noul for whether the ticket concerns billing, a choice for the customer's tone with calm, frustrated, and angry options, and a score for urgency ordered from can wait to handle today.
It does not replace SHAP or feature attribution; instead it can act as a separate judgment layer around hosted MaaS models, evaluating inputs, outputs, or proposed actions against explicit criteria and returning structured decisions with confidence scores.
It says you could ask any LLM to classify or score with structured JSON output, while Jev is purpose-built for that workload, and it reports TypeSafe's claim of roughly 70-500 ms typical decision latency with pricing accurate only as of the article date.
The schema is titled TypeSafe Jev System One at version 1.1.0, uses jev-latest as the model enum with a default, requires state, model, and questions, and lists 400, 401, and 422 responses for invalid or unauthenticated requests.
Yes. You first apply for the Jev preview from TypeSafe and create an API key under API keys; the post notes you may also receive free credit, which should be more than sufficient for experimenting given the low per-token cost.
