Signals: Continuous Diagnostics of AI Agents

The paper "Signals: Continuous Diagnostics of AI Agents" introduces a method for diagnosing problems in AI agents by analyzing agentic traces. It defines 45 problem types across eight families, categorizes findings into engineering issues called Signals, and assesses their severity. The method was evaluated on public agent executions, achieving a 91.43% F1 score in matching Signals to reference issues, outperforming a one-pass LLM control by about 18 percentage points.

POIROT: Interrogating Agents for Failure Detection in Multi-Agent Systems

arXiv:2606. 02282v1 Announce Type: new Abstract: Orchestrating Large Language Models into Multi-Agent Systems (LLM-MAS) has unlocked remarkable reasoning capabilities, yet emergent failures and hallucinations that resist characterisation block their deployment in safety-critical domains -- a gap made legally untenable by emerging AI regulation.
