What is AI agent monitoring?

AI agent monitoring is the continuous observation of a production agent’s mission, outcomes, evidence, tools, authority, human interventions, dependencies, cost and drift so accountable owners can restrict, retest, rollback or improve it.

How is AI agent observability different from API monitoring?

API monitoring measures availability, errors and latency. Agent observability also connects versions, sources, policy decisions, tool actions, approvals and accepted business outcomes across the workflow.

What is an evaluation probe?

An evaluation probe is a bounded automated or human-validated check applied during or after an agent workflow to test a claim, source, authority rule or outcome and return a structured verdict with evidence.

Which AI agent alerts should stop production?

Stop conditions should cover credible unacceptable consequences such as unauthorised action, sensitive-data boundary breach, uncontrolled loops or a critical safety failure. Lower-severity drift may restrict or trigger review.

Does Article 26 apply to every AI agent?

No. Article 26 concerns deployers of high-risk AI systems. Classification and organisational role require case-specific assessment, although competent oversight, monitoring and usable logs are broadly valuable practices.
