Agent Observability & Monitoring
Score, monitor, and troubleshoot AI agent fleets in production. Built for ops teams running 1-100+ agents.
What This Does
Evaluates your agent deployment across 6 dimensions and returns a 0-100 health score with specific fixes.
6-Dimension Assessment
1. Execution Visibility (0-20 pts)
- Can you see what every agent is doing right now?
- Task queue depth, active/idle ratio, error rates
- Benchmark: Top quartile tracks 95%+ of agent actions in real-time
2. Cost Attribution (0-20 pts)
- Do you know exactly what each agent costs per task?
- Token spend, API calls, compute time, tool invocations
- Benchmark: Unmonitored agents waste 30-55% on retries and hallucination loops
3. Output Quality (0-15 pts)
- Are agent outputs validated before reaching users or systems?
- Accuracy sampling, hallucination detection, regression tracking
- Benchmark: 1 in 12 agent outputs contains a material error without monitoring
4. Failure Recovery (0-15 pts)
- What happens when an agent fails mid-task?
- Retry logic, graceful degradation, human escalation paths
- Benchmark: Mean time to detect agent failure without monitoring: 4.2 hours
5. Security & Boundaries (0-15 pts)
- Are agents staying within authorized scope?
- Tool access auditing, data exfiltration checks, permission drift
- Benchmark: 23% of production agents access tools outside their intended scope
6. Fleet Coordination (0-15 pts)
- Do multi-agent workflows hand off cleanly?
- Message passing reliability, deadlock detection, duplicate work
- Benchmark: Uncoordinated fleets duplicate 18-25% of work

Quick Assessment Prompt
Ask the agent to evaluate your setup:
Run the agent observability assessment against our current deployment:
- How many agents are running?
- What monitoring exists today?
- What broke in the last 30 days?
- What's our monthly agent spend?
- Who gets alerted when an agent fails?

90-Day Monitoring Roadmap
Week 1-2: Inventory all agents, document intended scope, tag cost centers
Week 3-4: Deploy execution logging (every tool call, every output)
Month 2: Build dashboards — cost per task, error rate, latency P95
Month 3: Automated alerting — failure detection <5 min, cost anomaly flags, scope violations
7 Monitoring Mistakes
- Logging only errors (miss the slow degradation)
- No cost attribution (agents burn budget invisibly)
- Monitoring agents like servers (they need task-level observability)
- Manual review of agent outputs (doesn't scale past 3 agents)
- No baseline metrics (can't detect regression without a baseline)
- Alerting on everything (alert fatigue kills response time)
- Skipping agent-to-agent handoff monitoring (where most fleet failures happen)
