Observability

Monitoring an agent is not the same as monitoring a service. The question shifts from whether it is running to whether it is reasoning correctly — and that requires a different observability stack built around structured traces, quality metrics, and cost attribution.

Most ‘my agent broke’ investigations don’t end at the model. They end in memory design, tool scope, orchestration logic, or missing observability. This post covers the plumbing that actually determines whether an agent works in production.
