Definition
AgentOps refers to the operational framework and specialized tooling used to manage the lifecycle of AI agents, focusing specifically on real-time observability, action-tracing, cost management, and the systematic evaluation of autonomous decision loops. It bridges the gap between traditional DevOps and MLOps by prioritizing the auditing of 'reasoning' steps and tool-calling behaviors over simple model inference.
Focuses on the execution traces and behavior of autonomous entities rather than model training (MLOps) or standard software infrastructure (DevOps).
