Record the task
Preserve plans, tool calls, consequential state, human decisions, and outcomes for evaluation and review.
Enterprise Agent Foundation
Make long-running work observable, measurable, and recoverable.
Record plans, tool calls, state changes, and outcomes across the full task. Use task-level benchmarks, human judgment, and regression testing to identify failure patterns and carry validated learning into the next run.
How It Works
Reliability goes beyond judging one response. It examines how work progressed, where it failed, whether it recovered, and whether the outcome met the goal.
Preserve plans, tool calls, consequential state, human decisions, and outcomes for evaluation and review.
Combine offline benchmarks, human evaluation, online outcomes, and regression tests to assess the full task.
Retry or recover from validated state instead of failing silently or restarting without need.
Feed failure patterns, golden examples, and business outcomes back into evaluation and context.
In Production
Turn critical tasks, failure conditions, and human review standards into repeatable release checks instead of relying on demos.
Use complete run records to distinguish model, context, skill, tool, and workflow failures, shortening diagnosis and repair.
Regress critical tasks after model, skill, or system changes to ensure improvements do not come at the cost of proven capability.
Validation & Guardrails
Automated evaluation expands coverage, but new failure modes, subjective quality, and high-stakes outcomes still require domain experts to define standards, calibrate evaluators, and retain accountability.
Separate model output, step correctness, task completion, and business outcomes instead of relying on one metric.
Domain experts establish golden examples, handle new failure modes, and review high-risk or subjective outcomes.
Distinguish production data feedback and human iteration from automated evaluation capabilities still being engineered.

Offline evaluation reproducibly tests critical tasks and known failures, while online outcomes measure completion quality and business impact in real environments. Shared task definitions and run records connect the two so higher offline scores translate into real improvement.
Use the complete run record to confirm the failure cause and accountability boundary, then have domain experts turn it into a reproducible task with expected behavior and judgment criteria. Version cases by scenario so future model, skill, context, and workflow changes can regress against them.
Hold task definitions, context snapshots, tool environments, and judgment criteria constant, while recording quality, cost, latency, human intervention, and recovery. Repeated runs under equivalent conditions separate stable improvement from chance.
