Research paper introducing automated methods for detecting failures in agentic AI traces — specifically cases where agents deviate from or disobey instructions. Directly relevant to reliability and observability concerns in production agentic systems. The excerpt is minimal (BibTeX only), but the problem framing is timely given the rapid adoption of autonomous coding agents and multi-step AI pipelines.
