AI Agents Make Opaque Decisions With No Decision-Level Observability

As AI agents enter production, developers lack tools to trace why an agent made a specific decision rather than just what it did. Traditional APM tools track metrics and logs but not reasoning chains, creating a debugging blindspot. Decision-aware observability is an emerging critical need for reliable agentic systems.

Multi-Agent Observability Lacks Cross-Span Decision Replay

Engineering teams running multi-agent LLM systems can capture per-span traces with tools like Langfuse or Arize, but have no way to view or replay a decision that spanned multiple calls and tool results as a single logical unit. Closing the improvement loop after failures still requires manual reconstruction, and involving non-technical domain experts is especially painful. The gap is systemic: the wrong altitude of tracing, not a missing vendor.
