Agent evaluation

Turn agent failures into gates your engineering team can inspect.

Agent workflows fail through tool choice, missing context, state drift, unsafe actions, weak escalation paths, and brittle prompt patches. The work focuses on replayable evidence and release criteria, not generic agent enthusiasm.

Sanitized brief first

No private repo in form

Artifacts delivered

Ship / revise / stop memo

1

Brief safely

Start with sanitized context and a concrete reliability decision.

2

Reproduce failures

Turn traces, examples, or eval runs into repeatable evidence.

3

Define gates

Separate blockers, warnings, thresholds, and ownership.

4

Decide ship / revise / stop

Package the evidence into an engineering-readable memo.

Good fit

The agent has tool calls, handoffs, state, or workflow policy that can fail in different ways.
The team needs to know which failures block release and which require monitoring or revision.
The current evals do not explain why a candidate version passes or fails.

Boundaries

Does not promise autonomous-agent safety in the abstract.
Does not request private tool credentials before scope and access terms are agreed.
Does not turn synthetic examples into client evidence.

Deliverables

Agent behavior evaluation plan
Replay rows grouped by failure mode
Tool-use and escalation failure taxonomy
Blocker/warning release-gate checklist

Inspect the artifact shape

The sample is representative structure, not client data. It shows how evaluation plans, taxonomies, gates, and decision memos can be packaged without inventing proof.

Process

How the work moves from brief to evidence.

01

Identify the agent actions that carry user, business, or operational risk.

02

Create representative replay rows from sanitized traces or sample tasks.

03

Classify failures by trigger, expected owner, and release impact.

04

Define gates that make release review concrete.

Next step

Send sanitized context first, then use the call to confirm fit, access boundaries, and scope.
