Agent authoring

Attach input/output guardrails that validate, transform, or block unsafe content C

Guardrails

Trace every LLM call and tool invocation of an agent run in an observability UI C

Tracing

Stream tokens and intermediate agent events (tool calls, steps) to my UI in real time C

Streaming

Checkpoint agent state so a run can resume exactly where it left off after a crash or restart C

Durable state

Export all of my data in open formats and leave G

Workflow control

Deploy an agent to a managed runtime and call it as an API endpoint C

Deployment

Have a coding agent scaffold a new agent project from an official CLI or template in one command C

Ai buildability

Require human approval before specific sensitive tool calls execute C

Approval flows

Deployment

Score agent quality with built-in evals and run them as part of CI C

Evals

Read the product's source under an open license G

Ai buildability

Trim, summarize, or filter conversation history to keep an agent inside its context window C

Memory

Do everything through the API that I can do in the UI G

Unit-test agents with mocked models and tools C

Testing
