AgentOps — operate autonomous AI agents

Run AI agents
you can trust
in production.

Independent, vendor-neutral coverage of agent security, observability, governance, and reliability — so your autonomous systems stay safe, accountable, and auditable.

The operational loop every autonomous agent runs — plan, act, observe, guard. AgentOps is the discipline that makes each step safe, observable, and accountable.

Seven pillars of AgentOps

A hub-and-spoke knowledge base covering every operational angle of autonomous AI agents — from threat modeling to human oversight.

Security

Agent Security & Threat Modeling

Prompt injection, tool poisoning, memory poisoning, excessive agency. The OWASP Top 10 for Agentic Applications, mapped to real attacks and defenses.

Explore →MCP & Identity

MCP & Agent Identity

Model Context Protocol security, non-human identity, fine-grained authorization, and the machine-identity crisis enterprises now have to solve.

Explore →Governance

Governance & AI Act Compliance

The EU AI Act timeline, Article 50 transparency, ISO 42001, signed audit logs, and how to govern autonomous agents without slowing them down.

Explore →Observability

Observability & Monitoring

Tracing with OpenTelemetry, token-cost FinOps, production metrics, and the tooling that lets you see what your agents are actually doing.

Explore →Evals

Reliability, Evals & Quality

LLM-as-a-judge done right, agent benchmarks, regression testing, and CI/CD quality gates that keep agents from breaking in production.

Explore →Orchestration

Orchestration & Architecture

LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, OpenAI Agents SDK and Google ADK compared — plus the design patterns behind production multi-agent systems.

Explore →Human Oversight

Human Oversight & Autonomy

HITL, HOTL and HOOTL, guardrails, approval workflows, kill switches, and how to raise an agent's autonomy without losing control.

EU AI Act

Why now?

The EU AI Act's Article 50 transparency duties have applied since 2 August 2026 — content produced by agents must already be labelled. The next milestone is 2 December 2027, when the requirements for high-risk systems kick in (deferred by the Digital Omnibus). Teams shipping autonomous agents need governance, audit logs, and oversight in place now.

Until the high-risk system requirements (Annex III)
