AgentOps

The operational practice of monitoring, maintaining, and improving AI agents in production. The agent-specific variant of LLMOps.

Last updated: April 26, 2026

Definition

AgentOps is the discipline of running multi-step, tool-using agents in production. It covers everything LLMOps covers plus the agent-specific concerns: tool call success rates, agent loop iteration counts, escalation rates, multi-agent handoff metrics, plan-vs-actual divergence, and failure-mode classification. The work is operational rather than experimental: tracking which user segments hit which failure modes, which tools fail most often, which prompts produce the longest agent loops, and where humans actually have to intervene. AgentOps also names a specific commercial platform (agentops.ai) but the broader term refers to the practice.

When To Use

Adopt AgentOps practices as soon as you have one autonomous agent in production. Without it, you cannot tell whether agent behavior is improving or degrading over time.
