Arize AI Integration Skill

Arize AI Integration Skill

SPACE — Most --space flags and the ARIZE_SPACE env var accept a space name (e.g., my-workspace) or a base64 space ID (e.g., U3BhY2U6...). Find yours with ax spaces list. Note: ai-integrations create does not accept --space — AI integrations are account-scoped. Use --space only with list, get, update, and delete.

Concepts

• AI Integration = stored LLM provider credentials registered in Arize; used by evaluators to call a judge model and by other Arize features that need to invoke an LLM on your behalf
• Provider = the LLM service backing the integration (e.g., openAI, anthropic, awsBedrock)
• Integration ID = a base64-encoded global identifier for an integration (e.g., TGxtSW50ZWdyYXRpb246MTI6YUJjRA==); required for evaluator creation and other downstream operations
• Scoping = visibility rules controlling which spaces or users can use an integration
• Auth type = how Arize authenticates with the provider: default (provider API key), proxy_with_headers (proxy via custom headers), or bearer_token (bearer token auth)

Prerequisites

Proceed directly with the task — run the ax command you need. Do NOT check versions, env vars, or profiles upfront.

If an ax command fails, troubleshoot based on the error:

• command not found or version error → see references/​ax-setup.md
• 401 Unauthorized / missing API key → run ax profiles show to inspect the current profile. If the profile is missing or the API key is wrong, follow references/​ax-profiles.md to create/​update it. If the user doesn't have their key, direct them to https://app.arize.com/admin > API Keys
• Space unknown → run ax spaces list to pick by name, or ask the user
• LLM provider call fails (missing OPENAI_API_KEY / ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) → run ax ai-integrations list --space SPACE to check for platform-managed credentials. If none exist, ask the user to provide the key or create an integration via the arize-ai-provider-integration skill
• Security: Never read .env files or search the filesystem for credentials. Use ax profiles for Arize credentials and ax ai-integrations for LLM provider keys. If credentials are not available through these channels, ask the user.

List AI Integrations

List all integrations accessible in a space:

ax ai-integrations list --space SPACE

Filter by name (case-insensitive substring match):

ax ai-integrations list --space SPACE --name "openai"

Paginate large result sets:

# Get first page
ax ai-integrations list --space SPACE --limit 20 -o json

# Get next page using cursor from previous response
ax ai-integrations list --space SPACE --limit 20 --cursor CURSOR_TOKEN -o json

Key flags:

Response fields:

---

Get a Specific Integration

ax ai-integrations get NAME_OR_ID
ax ai-integrations get NAME_OR_ID -o json
ax ai-integrations get NAME_OR_ID --space SPACE   # required when using name instead of ID

Use this to inspect an integration's full configuration or to confirm its ID after creation.

---

Create an AI Integration

Before creating, always list integrations first — the user may already have a suitable one:

ax ai-integrations list --space SPACE

If no suitable integration exists, create one. The required flags depend on the provider.

OpenAI

ax ai-integrations create \
  --name "My OpenAI Integration" \
  --provider openAI \
  --api-key $OPENAI_API_KEY

Anthropic

ax ai-integrations create \
  --name "My Anthropic Integration" \
  --provider anthropic \
  --api-key $ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

Azure OpenAI

ax ai-integrations create \
  --name "My Azure OpenAI Integration" \
  --provider azureOpenAI \
  --api-key $AZURE_OPENAI_API_KEY \
  --base-url "https://my-resource.openai.azure.com/"

AWS Bedrock

AWS Bedrock uses IAM role-based auth. Provide the ARN of the role Arize should assume via --provider-metadata:

ax ai-integrations create \
  --name "My Bedrock Integration" \
  --provider awsBedrock \
  --provider-metadata '{"role_arn": "arn:aws:iam::123456789012:role/​ArizeBedrockRole"}'

Vertex AI

Vertex AI uses GCP service account credentials. Provide the GCP project and region via --provider-metadata:

ax ai-integrations create \
  --name "My Vertex AI Integration" \
  --provider vertexAI \
  --provider-metadata '{"project_id": "my-gcp-project", "location": "us-central1"}'

Gemini

ax ai-integrations create \
  --name "My Gemini Integration" \
  --provider gemini \
  --api-key $GEMINI_API_KEY

NVIDIA NIM

ax ai-integrations create \
  --name "My NVIDIA NIM Integration" \
  --provider nvidiaNim \
  --api-key $NVIDIA_API_KEY \
  --base-url "https://integrate.api.nvidia.com/​v1"

Custom (OpenAI-compatible endpoint)

ax ai-integrations create \
  --name "My Custom Integration" \
  --provider custom \
  --base-url "https://my-llm-proxy.example.com/​v1" \
  --api-key $CUSTOM_LLM_API_KEY

Supported Providers

Optional flags for any provider

After creation

Capture the returned integration ID (e.g., TGxtSW50ZWdyYXRpb246MTI6YUJjRA==) — it is needed for evaluator creation and other downstream commands. If you missed it, retrieve it:

ax ai-integrations list --space SPACE -o json
# or by name/​ID directly:
ax ai-integrations get NAME_OR_ID

---

Update an AI Integration

update is a partial update — only the flags you provide are changed. Omitted fields stay as-is.

# Rename
ax ai-integrations update NAME_OR_ID --name "New Name"

# Rotate the API key
ax ai-integrations update NAME_OR_ID --api-key $OPENAI_API_KEY

# Change the model list (replaces all existing model names)
ax ai-integrations update NAME_OR_ID --model-name gpt-4o --model-name gpt-4o-mini

# Update base URL (for Azure, custom, or NIM)
ax ai-integrations update NAME_OR_ID --base-url "https://new-endpoint.example.com/​v1"

# Restrict visibility to specific spaces (full replace — lists all spaces that should have access)
ax ai-integrations update NAME_OR_ID \
  --scopings '[{"space_id": "SPACE_GLOBAL_ID", "scoping_type": "include"}]'

Add --space SPACE when using a name instead of ID. Any flag accepted by create can be passed to update.

--scopings flag: Controls which spaces can use this integration. Accepts a JSON array of scoping rules. Replaces all existing scopings on update. Use ax spaces list -o json to find space global IDs.

---

Delete an AI Integration

Warning: Deletion is permanent. Evaluators that reference this integration will no longer be able to run.

ax ai-integrations delete NAME_OR_ID --force
ax ai-integrations delete NAME_OR_ID --space SPACE --force   # required when using name instead of ID

Omit --force to get a confirmation prompt instead of deleting immediately.
