How AI Agents Fail in Production: Real-World Reliability, Observability, and Recovery Patterns

Automated excerpt

Most agent logs become firehoses of undifferentiated errors. Instead, deduplicate and surface unique tool-call failure signatures per incident context. Production agents fail for recurring, deeply non-obvious reasons: tool-call unreliability, early context decay, aggregated cost blowups, and silent evaluation drift.
