Agent observability is crucial for debugging and auditing AI agents in production, capturing detailed information like tool calls, token costs, and reasoning chains. Unlike traditional services, agents exhibit non-determinism and deeply nested tool calls, making standard logging insufficient. Emerging standards like OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions aim to provide a unified approach for this complex telemetry. AI
