A practical guide to Jev Decision in Traccia Evals, from configuring a scorer to checking one example, running a dataset experiment, and using the same scorer from Python or TypeScript.
Research / Agent Systems
Agent evaluation begins with an oracle: what observable state would prove the task was completed correctly, within policy, and at an acceptable cost?
For autonomous agents, reliable evaluation means measuring the full trajectory—not just the final response.
Guardrails guide an AI agent's judgement. Policies constrain its authority. Confusing the two is how an agent that was only asked to investigate ends up changing production.
A system prompt is a suggestion the model may or may not follow. Traccia is the agent control plane for what happens when it doesn't: the moment an agent has real capability, hope stops being an acceptable strategy.
One call to init() gives you complete trace visibility into every LLM call, tool invocation, and turn boundary — with token counts and USD costs — without modifying your agent logic.
Gain instant visibility into every Gemini LLM call including prompts, completions, token usage, and cost, without changing a single line of application code.
Knowing your monthly LLM bill isn't enough. Organizations need to know exactly which agent, workflow, department, customer, and action generated every dollar of AI spend.
Enforcement isn't just about writing rules—it's about stopping unsafe actions in real time, before the damage is already done.
Traditional cloud FinOps was built for stable infrastructure. Autonomous agents demand a new discipline to track, attribute, and control dynamic costs.
An AI agent control plane discovers, identifies, authorizes, observes and stops AI agents at runtime.
Built with the OpenAI Agents SDK? Traccia captures guardrail spans automatically and enforces runtime policy with @govern before irreversible actions run.
Azure AI Foundry Alternative
Azure AI Foundry manages model lifecycles, prompt engineering, and evaluations in a unified cloud platform. Traccia governs the running agent with Visibility, Intelligence, Control, and Certification on OpenTelemetry.
A hands-on guide to building governance guardrails before your autonomous agents cause an incident you can't undo.
Datadog Alternative
Datadog monitors your estate and adds LLM and agent console analytics. Traccia is the OpenTelemetry runtime control plane: observe agents, enforce policy at the agent boundary, and prove what happened. Enforce, not just observe.
Braintrust Alternative
Braintrust helps you score quality and gate releases. Traccia helps you observe agents, enforce policy at the agent boundary, and prove what happened. Enforce, not just observe.
LangSmith Alternative
LangSmith helps you debug and ship agents in the LangChain ecosystem. Traccia helps you observe agents across frameworks, enforce policy at the agent boundary, and prove what happened. Enforce, not just observe.
Maxim Alternative
Maxim helps you simulate, evaluate, and observe agent quality. Traccia helps you observe agents, enforce policy at the agent boundary, and prove what happened. Enforce, not just observe.
Part 2 · AI Agent Governance Handbook
A one-question test to tell observability from governance, the EchoLeak case study, and why the gap is measured in milliseconds — not philosophy.
Part 1 · AI Agent Governance Handbook
Four planes of control, why observability alone isn't governance, and how to map your stack to the EU AI Act, NIST RMF, and ISO 42001.
Langfuse Alternative
Langfuse helps you debug and improve LLM apps. Traccia helps you observe agents, enforce policy at the agent boundary, and prove what happened. Enforce, not just observe.
Arize AI Alternative
Arize helps you evaluate and improve model quality. Traccia helps you observe agents, enforce policy at the agent boundary, and certify production behavior across Visibility, Intelligence, Control, and Certification.
Credo AI Alternative
Credo AI governs the organization. Traccia governs the production agent with Visibility, Intelligence, Control, and Certification from live OpenTelemetry.
Holistic AI Alternative
Holistic AI governs the AI portfolio: discovery, bias audits, multi-framework compliance. Traccia governs the running agent with Visibility, Intelligence, Control, and Certification on OpenTelemetry.
