AI agent workflows require advanced observability to detect hidden errors

Observability tools like OpenTelemetry can help trace the internal workings of AI agent workflows, which are otherwise opaque. A recent end-to-end trace of an agent workflow revealed it took over 8 minutes to complete a single call and consumed 8,814 tokens. This level of detail is crucial for identifying issues like hallucinations or silent quality degradation that standard error logs would miss. AI
