About this episode

The episode discusses how Foundry Observability helps developers enhance agent quality and safety through comprehensive monitoring and evaluation.

Foundry Observability empowers developers to take agents from prototype to production with end-to-end observability. We demonstrate how evaluations, tracing, monitoring, and optimization work together to identify issues, measure quality, and improve outcomes over time. Through a live demo spanning the Foundry portal and VS Code, we showcase a practical workflow for building more reliable, production-ready agents.
