See what your AI workflows are doing

We add observability for model calls, retrieval, tool use, workflow state, evaluation results, latency, and spend so production AI issues are debuggable.

Built around your existing telemetry stack where possible, with redaction and retention rules for sensitive prompts and data.

On-request / scoped service

Agent observability is available only as a scoped platform observability engagement.

Service playbook

From problem to operating evidence

Main content is structured like a case study: context first, scoped work next, then the operating changes and evidence a team can use after handoff.

Service briefWhat gets instrumentedObservability design choicesQuality signalsDashboards and alerts

Standard application monitoring usually misses the signals that matter in AI systems: prompts, retrieval quality, tool calls, token budgets, model versions, and evaluation results. Agent Observability adds those signals without turning sensitive user data into unmanaged logs.

This service is a fit when you have RAG, assistant, or agent workflows in pilot or production and need to understand regressions, costs, failures, and user trust issues.

Case-study lens

Scoped

Problem, responsibility, and handoff boundaries before implementation.

Evidence

Dashboards, runbooks, reviews, and operating records over borrowed logos.

Outcomes

Conservative summaries focused on observable operational improvement.

EvidenceSection 01

What gets instrumented

Runbooks, dashboards, reviews, and handoff material make the work auditable.

SignalCaptured data
LLM requestProvider, model, prompt/config version, token counts, latency, finish reason, cost estimate, error state
RetrievalQuery, source/index, top results, scores, filters, source freshness, empty-result cases
Tool callTool name, allowed action, duration, status, redacted inputs/outputs, retry count
Workflow stepStep name, state transition, checkpoint, timeout, approval status, failure reason
Evaluation runDataset/version, score, failed cases, regression status, release gate result
User feedbackRating, correction, source dispute, escalation, and follow-up owner

Observability design choices

Reliability signals are treated as decision evidence, not dashboards for their own sake.

ConcernAssistance approach
Sensitive prompts and documentsDefine redaction, sampling, retention, and access before collection
Existing telemetry stackPrefer OpenTelemetry-compatible traces and metrics where practical
Cost attributionTrack spend by workflow, user/team, model, environment, and release
DebuggabilityPreserve enough context to reproduce failures without storing unlimited raw content
GovernanceKeep audit evidence for model/provider changes, eval gates, and approval checkpoints
OutcomeSection 03

Quality signals

Expected changes are framed as practical operating improvements, not unsupported guarantees.

Observability for AI goes beyond latency and error rate.

What changes

Retrieval quality

  • precision or relevance checks on representative questions
  • source freshness and empty-result tracking
  • unused context detection
  • citation/source mismatch review
  • index update and ingestion failure alerts

Operating step

Response quality

  • structured output validation failures
  • groundedness checks against retrieved context
  • refusal and policy-trigger rates
  • user feedback and escalation trends
  • prompt/model/config regression checks

What changes

Workflow quality

  • task completion rate
  • approval rate and rejection reasons
  • stuck or cancelled workflow count
  • tool error rates
  • cost per successful outcome
EvidenceSection 04

Dashboards and alerts

Reliability signals are treated as decision evidence, not dashboards for their own sake.

Typical dashboards include:

  • AI request volume by workflow and environment
  • model latency and token usage
  • estimated spend by workflow, model, and team
  • retrieval hit rate and source freshness
  • eval pass/fail history by release
  • top failure modes and tool errors

Typical alerts include:

  • evaluation regression before release
  • cost spike or budget threshold
  • retrieval/index freshness failure
  • tool failure rate increase
  • p95 latency degradation
  • repeated approval rejection or stuck workflow

Getting Started

Decision points and common questions are made explicit so follow-up work is scoped cleanly.

Bring one AI workflow, a recent failure or cost concern, and your current telemetry stack. We will map the missing model, retrieval, tool, workflow, and evaluation signals. Set up AI observability →
