Human Review Process
- Sample review: review a random 5-10% of all agent traces each week
- Failure review: always review 100% of escalated and failed tasks
- New deployment review: review the first 50 runs of any new agent or configuration change
- Review checklist: did the agent follow the expected path? Were all tool calls necessary? Were the arguments correct? Did the agent miss a more efficient approach?
- Feedback loop: document findings from reviews and use them to improve system prompts and tool descriptions
