Outline

This paper presents research on solving debugging and observability problems caused by non-determinism of agent behavior in modern software systems based on AI agents utilizing large-scale language models (LLMs). In various frameworks that define agent settings through natural language prompting, robust debugging and observability tools are essential because the agent's behavior is non-deterministic depending on its inputs. In this paper, we explore how to improve developer observability by leveraging process and causal discovery of agent execution paths. This helps monitor and understand the variability of agent behavior. In addition, we complement LLM-based static analysis techniques to distinguish between intended and unintended behavioral changes. This approach allows developers to better control the evolving specifications and identify functional aspects that require more precise and explicit definitions.

Takeaways, Limitations

Takeaways:
A novel approach to solving debugging and observability problems in LLM-based AI agent systems
Process and causal discovery, analysis and understanding of agent behavior variability through LLM-based static analysis techniques
Contribute to improving developer agent system control and functionality
Limitations:
Lack of specific details on the actual system application and performance evaluation of the proposed method.
Additional validation of the accuracy and reliability of LLM-based static analysis is needed.
Further research is needed on generalizability to different types of agent systems and frameworks.
