Agent Observability

Zenjin Agent Observability

Watch what agents did, cost, and whether guardrails held.

Zenjin Agent Observability traces what agents do, what they cost, and whether guardrails held, then ties that runtime evidence to identity, evals, and compliance.

At a glance

  • Traces

    Tools and outcomes

  • FinOps

    Cost on the same run

  • Guardrails

    Hits you can prove

  • Experiments

    Compare behavior

Runtime evidence, not only debug

Traces, cost, and guardrail hits live with identity and compliance. Security can see whether a control fired. Finance can see what the run spent.

Traces

Run-level timelines of tools, models, and outcomes.

FinOps

What agents cost, not only whether they worked.

Experiments

Compare agent behavior the way you compare models.

Guardrails

Configured controls with hits you can prove.

Today vs Zenjin

A debug trace is not evidence.

Today

Traces only engineering can see.

LangSmith-style traces live with engineering. Security and GRC never see whether a guardrail fired or what the agent spent.

With Zenjin

Runtime, cost, and guardrails in the control layer.

Traces, FinOps, experiments, registered agents, and guardrails in the same control layer as identity and evidence.

  • Registered
  • Traced
  • Costed
  • Blocked

Register, trace, act

Register the agent, trace the run, act when a guardrail fires.

FAQ

  • Those are engineering observability. Zenjin observability is governance-grade: identity, guardrails, and evidence, not only debug traces.

  • Registered agents and MCP-shaped tool calls are in scope. Guardrail hits are first-class events.

  • Cost on the same timeline as the run: tokens, tools, and whether a guardrail blocked work you still paid for.

  • Yes. Guardrail hits are events on the trace, not a log only the agent team reads.

  • Compare agent behavior the way you compare models: same task, different policy or model, with traces and cost attached.

  • No. It is runtime evidence for agents: identity, tools, guardrails, and cost in the control layer.
