DigitalOcean released new tools to address silent failures in AI agents. The system uses lightweight rules (Signals) to detect anomalies like repeated user queries or human escalation requests, then automatically converts these real-world failure sessions into test cases. Simulations replays these sessions against fixed agents before deployment, replacing costly manual log reviews or full-LLM grading.

    • Agents often suffer 'silent failures' (e.g., HTTP 200 but wrong logic) that standard health checks miss.
    • The Signals module uses cheap, non-LLM rules (detecting repeated inputs, retry loops) to flag anomalous sessions in real-time.
    • Simulations converts production failures into automatic regression tests, validating fixes before release.
