Learn to debug production AI agents when traditional tooling fails, and understand the challenges of semantic failures in LLM systems

intermediate Published 10 Jun 2026
Action Steps
  1. Identify the limitations of traditional APM tooling in debugging LLM systems
  2. Implement instrumentation principles to capture input, model version, and sampling parameters
  3. Use emerging standards for debugging LLM systems, such as tracing and logging
  4. Apply a debugging loop to understand what the agent decided and why
  5. Configure observability tooling to answer semantic questions, not just structural ones
Who Needs to Know This

AI engineers and developers responsible for deploying and maintaining LLM agents in production will benefit from this micro-lesson, as it provides guidance on rebuilding the traceback for systems that don't have one

Key Insight

💡 Semantic failures in LLM systems require a new approach to debugging, focusing on what the agent decided and why, rather than just whether it ran
