AgentOps — reliability, evals, tracing

AgentOps starts where agent demos stop.

Once an agent is connected to tools, permissions, and user-facing workflows, operational questions become first-class: what tools can it call, what happens when it fails, what gets logged, how regressions are caught, and how human agency is preserved on high-stakes actions.

That is why I treat tracing, evals, auditability, and tool boundaries as part of the product system, not as optional infrastructure around it.

In practice, AgentOps is less about “agent magic” and more about making behavior bounded, inspectable, and safe enough to operate repeatedly.
