The Black Box Problem
When an agent fails, you need to know why. "It didn't work" is not useful.
You need to log the entire Trace: - Step 1: Input "X", Output "Y". - Step 2: Tool Call "Z", Tool Result "Error". - Step 3: Final Answer "I failed".
Tracing
Store these traces in a database or a specialized tool (like LangSmith or Arize). This allows you to "replay" the session with a human in the loop to see where the logic broke.
