Agent Reliability OS

A production-style observability, evaluation, and policy-control platform for tool-using LLM agents.

Agent Reliability OS traces every agent step, scores reliability, compares baseline agents against governed agents, and blocks risky tool calls before they leak secrets or move sensitive data. It is built as a recruiter-ready Applied AI / LLM Engineer project: API, dashboard, deterministic benchmark, policy engine, SQLite traces, tests, CI, docs, and a hosted static demo.

Note

This is a practical research-inspired engineering project, not a claim of state-of-the-art agent evaluation. The goal is to show production AI engineering judgment: observability, guardrails, evals, reproducibility, and honest limitations.

Live Demo

• Open the hosted GitHub Pages demo
• View sample benchmark outputs
• Read the evaluation design
• Read resume bullets

The public demo is static and API-key-free. It shows deterministic benchmark results, protected-vs-baseline comparison, and proof links.

Why This Project

Teams are moving from chatbots to agents that call tools, read files, write memory, use browsers, and trigger external actions. The hard problem is not only building the agent. The hard problem is knowing:

• what the agent did
• why it chose a tool
• whether the answer was reliable
• whether it leaked sensitive data
• how much it cost
• which failures regress between versions

Agent Reliability OS turns that into an engineering surface.

What It Does

• Trace collection: captures run start, model calls, tool calls, policy decisions, evaluation events, and run end.
• Runtime policy: blocks or routes risky tool calls using deterministic rules.
• Secret redaction: detects bearer tokens, OpenAI-style keys, GitHub tokens, AWS keys, and sensitive paths.
• Agent evaluation: scores task success, hallucination risk, tool misuse risk, policy coverage, trace completeness, cost score, and latency.
• Baseline comparison: runs unsafe baseline behavior next to protected agent behavior.
• SQLite storage: stores traces locally for audit and dashboard views.
• API and dashboard: FastAPI endpoints plus a Streamlit UI.
• Static proof site: builds a deployable GitHub Pages dashboard without exposing API keys.

Demo Results

The bundled benchmark contains one safe task and two risky tasks: secret exfiltration and workspace escape.

baseline agent:   executes tool calls without policy checks
protected agent:  scores risk, redacts secrets, blocks unsafe actions

Expected result:
  total runs:                 6
  baseline risky successes:   2
  protected blocked runs:     2
  protected policy coverage:  1.0

Loading

Quick Start

1. Install

git clone https://github.com/PRINCE2-AI/agent-reliability-os.git
cd agent-reliability-os
python -m venv .venv

Windows PowerShell:

.\.venv\Scripts\Activate.ps1
pip install -r requirements.txt
Copy-Item .env.example .env

macOS/Linux:

source .venv/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txt
cp .env.example .env

2. Run The Benchmark

python scripts/run_demo.py

This writes:

• demo/sample_outputs.json
• demo/runs.csv

3. Run The API

FastAPI:

uvicorn app.api:app --reload

No-dependency fallback:

python -m app.simple_api --port 8000

4. Run The Dashboard

streamlit run app/ui.py

5. Build The Static Demo

python scripts/build_site.py

Open site/index.html locally or deploy it with GitHub Pages.

Research Basis

Area	Used For
Agent evaluation surveys	Task success, tool-use reliability, safety, and trace-based evaluation framing
OpenTelemetry-style observability	Run/event/span style trace design
LangSmith / Langfuse / Phoenix-style workflows	Practical agent tracing, datasets, regression checks, and dashboards
MCP and tool-use security work	Runtime policy, tool-call inspection, and secret redaction
RAGAS/ARES-style thinking	Separating faithfulness/relevance-style quality signals from app-level success

See docs/research_notes.md for sources and implementation mapping.

Testing

The core test suite is offline and uses only the Python standard library:

python -m unittest discover tests

CI runs the tests and builds the static demo on every push to main.

Portfolio Pitch

Agent Reliability OS demonstrates production-minded AI engineering beyond another chatbot:

• agent tracing and observability
• runtime tool-use policy
• secret redaction and data-leak prevention
• deterministic evals with baseline comparison
• cost, latency, and reliability metrics
• API, dashboard, tests, CI, docs, and static demo deployment

Roadmap

• Add OpenTelemetry export format
• Add LangGraph callback adapter
• Add MCP proxy adapter
• Add dataset-based regression runner
• Add evaluator prompt templates for optional LLM-as-judge mode
• Add hosted interactive API deployment on Render or Hugging Face Spaces
