Agent Observability
The ability to understand what an AI agent is doing and why, through traces, logs, metrics, and visualizations of the agent's decision-making process.
In Depth
Agent observability gives you visibility into the black box of agent behavior. A good observability stack captures: every LLM call with full prompt and response, every tool invocation with inputs and outputs, decision points where the agent chose between actions, latency and cost per step, and error states with full context. This data powers debugging, performance optimization, cost management, and compliance auditing. Without observability, production agents are impossible to maintain.
