Debugging AI agents in production requires a systematic approach beyond simply re-prompting. Developers should first capture detailed evidence from the failed run, including trace IDs, agent versions, and the exact context used. The focus should shift from just the final output to understanding the agent's decision-making process, especially concerning tool calls and data retrieval. Differentiating between read-only and mutating tools is crucial, with particular attention paid to preserving state and idempotency keys for write operations to prevent unintended side effects during debugging.
