Observability
Observability in AI refers to the ability to measure, trace, and audit the internal states, reasoning paths, tool execution parameters, and model outputs of an AI system. It enables developers to debug complex reasoning steps and optimize agent behaviors.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is a trace in AI observability?▼
A structured log showing the sequence of operations (e.g. User Prompt -> LLM Plan -> Tool Call -> Tool Result -> LLM Answer) along with execution times and token counts.
Why is observability harder for agentic AI than traditional code?▼
Because agents are non-deterministic, making execution paths highly variable and failures difficult to replicate without complete session replay states.
