AI observability control room

A weak AI run leaves evidence and can stop the release

Run one fictional canary through deployed-model instrumentation, automated output checks, a calibrated model evaluator, and an agent trace with tool, loop, approval, and completion controls.

This is runnable control evidence built in this repository. Its policy bounds are demonstration settings, not a claim about a health-system deployment. The model path is live when the same-origin proxy is configured; every other control remains inspectable if a model run is stopped.

Control contract

A metric earns its place only when it changes an action

The control room joins four layers that are often separated: runtime performance, automated output quality, evaluator calibration, and agent action lineage. The release decision requires all four.

Instrument the run

Request, model, duration, tokens, finish state, and capture policy arrive together.

Score the output

Explicit rules run before a model evaluator and cannot be overturned by it.

Calibrate the judge

Agreement and false accepts are measured against reviewer-set labels.

Trace the action

Tools, bounded steps, approvals, evidence, and terminal state reconstruct the workflow.

Runnable evidence in this repository

Run the full control loop

The live path sends one fictional notice to the same-origin model proxy, then a separate evaluator and calibration batch. No client data is used. Prompts and output are not written to runtime logs; the evidence export stays in your browser.

Agent trace scenario

Ready to run

Release decision

No decision until every required layer reports

Instrumentation, automated checks, judge calibration, and the agent trace are all required. Missing telemetry is a failed control, not an empty dashboard cell.

The deployed model reports how it behaved

Request identity, model version, server duration, token use, finish state, and capture policy arrive with the response.

Run the loop to populate live proxy telemetry.

Output quality is checked before opinion enters

Reference coverage, unsafe promises, identifier-shaped text, and length are checked as explicit rules. The judge cannot overturn them.

The next run will show every rule and the text it inspected.

The judge must prove agreement before it earns authority

Adjust the reviewer labels, then run again. The evaluator is a second model call with a fixed rubric. Agreement and false accepts are measured; a fluent explanation alone cannot pass the control.

The agent’s actions can be reconstructed without recording private thought

Step summaries, parent spans, tool names, redacted argument hashes, approval, evidence, and the terminal decision are recorded. Raw chain-of-thought is neither required nor displayed.

  1. 01

    workflow.start workflow

    Accept the fictional canary and open a bounded run.

  2. 02

    tool.execute tool

    Load the approved reference facts; raw arguments are not retained.

    tool=reference.lookup · args=sha256:4f6d…90a1

  3. 03

    model.generate model

    Generate the candidate against the approved facts.

  4. 04

    tool.execute tool

    Run output checks and attach the rule results.

    tool=quality.evaluate · args=sha256:816c…de22

  5. 05

    human.approve approval

    A reviewer authorizes the evidence record write.

  6. 06

    tool.execute tool

    Write the bounded evidence record after approval.

    tool=case.record · args=sha256:f12b…82c0

  7. 07

    workflow.complete decision

    Report completion only after the required evidence exists.

    evidence=span-02, span-04, span-05, span-06

  • Every tool is explicitly permitted passed

    3 tool calls match the approved set.

  • The workflow stays inside its step budget passed

    7 of 7 permitted steps used.

  • Repeated calls cannot become an autonomous loop passed

    Highest identical tool-and-argument repeat count: 1; maximum 2.

  • Material writes require prior approval passed

    No approval-required write occurred before approval.

  • Success requires linked evidence passed

    4 evidence spans support completion.

  • Every child span has a known parent passed

    The decision chain can be reconstructed without raw chain-of-thought.

Reconstruction record

One export joins the run, evaluations, actions, and decision

The log is sequence-numbered and SHA-256 hash-chained in this tab. It is not stored. Reloading clears it; exporting creates the evidence file on your device.

No audit record exists until a complete control-loop attempt finishes.
