When Agents Go Wrong, You Need Answers Fast

Agentic systems don't fail because they make mistakes. They fail because nobody can see where those mistakes happened, why they occurred, or how often they're repeated.

What Teams Face Without ARMS

What Teams Face Without ARMS

Engineering Teams

An issue appears in production, but the failure spans multiple agents, retrieval steps, and external tools. Tracing the root cause becomes a time-consuming investigation with limited visibility into the decision chain. 

Operations Teams 

AI usage grows across departments, but spend remains opaque. Teams struggle to understand where costs originate, which workflows drive consumption, and how budgets should be governed. 

They are measured, not just managed

Every engagement includes observability via ARMS cost per transaction, workflow accuracy, latency, and policy compliance in a single, unified view. You don't get a status update. You get a dashboard that your operations team can act on.

They have shipped it before in systems you recognize

Our engineers have built production-agile operations for prior authorization (Epic + Cerner), clinical protocol review (21 CFR Part 11), and financial reconciliation (SAP + Salesforce). They bring institutional memory that no newly-formed AI team can replicate from scratch.

Compliance Teams 

Auditors require evidence of AI-driven decisions, policy enforcement, and user interactions. Without a complete runtime record, proving compliance becomes difficult and resource-intensive. 

Business Leadership 

Agents are executing increasingly important workflows across the enterprise, yet there is limited visibility into what decisions are being made, how they are being made, and whether governance controls are working as intended. 

ARMS transforms agentic systems from black boxes into fully traceable, accountable operations.

ARMS

Runtime Observability Layer 

The operational backbone for every agent workflow. ARMS captures prompts, model responses, retrieval events, tool executions, token consumption, latency metrics, and policy outcomes in real time.

Guardrails

Policy Enforcement Layer 

Inspects every input and output flowing through agent workflows to detect prompt injection, hallucinations, sensitive data exposure, jailbreak attempts, and policy violations before they reach downstream systems. 

Prompt Manager 

Behaviour Governance Layer

Every prompt is versioned, tested, approved, and governed before deployment. Teams can evolve agent behaviour safely without modifying application code. 

Human-in-the-Loop 

Oversight Layer 

Routes low-confidence outputs, policy exceptions, and high-risk actions to designated reviewers, creating a transparent record of human oversight. 

Contextual Agent Orchestration 

Multi-Agent Coordination Layer

Traces context sharing, state transitions, and agent handoffs across complex workflows, making the complete decision chain visible and debuggable. 

Evaluation

Continuous Quality Layer 

Connects prompt versions, workflow executions, and outcomes to continuously measure quality, compliance, and performance over time.

Built for agents,

Built for agents,
not infrastructure.

Traditional monitoring was built for infrastructure and applications - not for non-deterministic, multi-step agents that call tools, retrieve documents, and make decisions. ARMS captures every runtime signal across agentic workflows and surfaces it in a structured, actionable way.

Six things ARMS makes possible

Trace Every Step

Capture prompts, tool calls, retrieval steps, model responses, timing, and token-level cost across any agent workflow.

Prompt

Tools

Tokens

Root-Cause Investigation

Pinpoint failure points across models, prompts, tools, memory, orchestration logic, or external dependencies.

Spans

Replay

Runtime Quality and Risk Monitoring

Detect anomalies, unexpected actions, and policy exceptions before they become costly incidents.

Policies

Alerts

Cost Attribution

Map AI consumption to teams, workflows, and business use cases for tighter cost governance. 

By team

Budget

Human Oversight Support

Enable review, escalation, and governance processes for high-impact or sensitive agent actions.

Escalations

Approvals

Audit-Ready Records

Maintain defensible histories of decisions, access patterns, and outcomes for governance and external review. 

Exportable

Signed

Lightweight to integrate. Broad in coverage. 

ARMS integrates via lightweight SDK connectors and framework-level instrumentation. No redesign of how agents are built or deployed - just a consistent observability layer added on top.

Frameworks

LangGraph, LangChain, OpenAI Agents, AutoGen, Google ADK, and custom flows. 

Platforms

Azure AI Foundry, AWS, Google Cloud, hybrid, and on-premise environments. 

Workflow types

RAG pipelines, OCR and document processing, multi-agent architectures, tool-driven automations. 

Telemetry

Complements existing monitoring stacks rather than replacing them

Two deployment models. One governance standard.

Frequently asked questions

My agents are live in production but when something breaks, I can't tell where. How does ARMS help?

We're scaling AI across teams and spend is climbing. How do we know where the budget is going?

Our auditors need a paper trail for every AI-driven decision. Can ARMS provide that?

How do we keep humans in control when agents are making high-stakes decisions at speed?

Will ARMS add overhead or force us to redesign how our agents are built?

How does ARMS fit alongside Azure AI Foundry, AWS, or other cloud AI platforms?

Our data is sensitive. Can we run ARMS without sending traces to a third-party platform?

How quickly can we get ARMS running and what does rollout actually look like?
