# Recommendations

Returns model improvement recommendations generated from a completed evaluation - class-imbalance warnings, missed-detection patterns, and other actionable suggestions for what to add to your dataset or how to retrain.

This is the data the **model improvement recommendations** panel in the app reads.

This endpoint is **read-only**. Recommendations are generated as a side effect of training completion (or via the legacy in-app "Refresh Recommendations" action). If they have not yet been generated, the response is `200 {"generated": false}` - note that this is **not** a `409 EVAL_NOT_DONE`. The evaluation *is* done; it just doesn't have the optional recommendations side-output. Other panel endpoints (`map-results`, `confidence-sweep`, etc.) return `409 EVAL_NOT_DONE` when their backing data is missing because that data is intrinsic to the evaluation; recommendations are not.
