Debugging AI agents presents a unique challenge because their behavior can be unpredictable, even when they complete tasks successfully. The author argues that traditional system observability, focused on logs and predictable service calls, is insufficient for agentic systems. Instead, a new approach is needed to track the agent's decision-making process, available context, and subsequent actions, providing a narrative of the entire run rather than just internal model reasoning.
