AI observability

If you cannot see the hop, it is not in production.

The first week is in the org, reading what already exists. Traces, identity, and cost on one trail. A person on the exceptions. A log dump is not observability. The honest no: if the work is a software factory with a named delivery date, we are the wrong partner.

Agent Broker

Trail

Gateway, broker, agent, tool. One trail.

The same path the architecture uses. Dark hops are findings.

  1. 01

    Gateway

    Who called, which policy, which model, how many tokens. This is the edge.

  2. 02

    Broker

    Which skill was chosen. Automation, guided, or agentic.

  3. 03

    Agent

    Which topic, which action, which card. Write-back still fails closed.

  4. 04

    Tool

    Which MCP server. Success, retry, or dead letter.

Public observability path for agent and integration flows. Every hop carries identity. Cost sits on the same trail as the trace. Exceptions land where a person can see them.

Exceptions

Retries, dead letters, and a person.

Extraction fails. A tool call fails. The hop times out. Someone has to see it.

Cost

Token and tool usage tagged per caller.

Finance should see a process, not a cloud bill.

Questions

What we actually say.

Is platform logging enough?
Not if the gateway hop, the broker hop, and the tool hop live in three places with no shared identity. We will say when you already have enough.
Do you skip human review when confidence is high?
High-confidence reads can auto-complete. Write-back on money, identity, and policy still hits a person until the evals say otherwise.
