With the recent incidents (DataTalks database wipe by Claude Code, Replit agent deleting data during code freeze), it's clear that running AI agents in production without observability is risky. Common failure modes I've seen: no visibility into what the agent did step-by-step, surprise LLM bills from untracked token usage, risky outputs going undetected, and no audit trail for post-mortems. I've been building AgentShield ( - an observability SDK for AI agents.
