The better pitch would be, "this is how easy observability, guardrails, monitoring, deployment, evals, versioning, A/B testing are with our framework." What the agent code looks like is somewhat incidental.
Anyone have something they genuinely like for all of this? For now I'm rolling my own, but I can't believe I won't find a better OSS alternative soon...
Observability is, for my purposes, solved by a given framework supporting OpenTelemetry.
Guardrails is where I've gotten the most value of openshell being a neat package. Agent workload scope is written as policy in openshell, and capability is backed by openshell handling all execution.
Monitoring/deployment/versioning is helped as well, depending on how agents/runners are slotted into the system. Deployment namely is quite well supported- openshell has kube/helm bits that are experimental atm, but seem like a logical approach imho.
Evals and a/b testing isnt something ive explored in depth, considering that agents with composable tool sets + frontier models are beyond my expectations already.
