Illustrative architecture: AgentOps and evaluation

Agent Release Control Plane

A release workspace compares prompt, model, retrieval, and tool versions against governed evaluation datasets. Automated scoring and human review create an explicit gate before production promotion.

Architecture summary

Agent Release Control Plane system boundary

A version registry binds prompts, models, retrieval settings, and tool contracts into a candidate. Evaluation workers run governed datasets, scoring services compare results and thresholds, and a reviewer controls promotion or rollback.

End-to-end workflow

Agent Release Control Plane execution path

An engineer registers a candidate, queued workers execute regression suites, deterministic scorers and review queues collect evidence, failure clustering highlights changes, and the release reviewer approves, rejects, or returns the candidate.

Context and data flow

Agent Release Control Plane context movement

Dataset versions, candidate configuration, trace spans, outputs, scores, latency, and cost observations remain linked by a release identifier. Production data is excluded unless its use and retention are explicitly authorized.

Agent responsibilities and boundaries

Agent Release Control Plane ownership limits

The candidate agent can perform only evaluation-scoped actions. It cannot promote itself, change thresholds, rewrite datasets, or access production credentials.

Deterministic controls

Agent Release Control Plane enforced controls

Version immutability, dataset checksums, deterministic scorers, cost and latency thresholds, credential separation, release approvals, rollback pointers, and evidence retention remain outside the agent.

Security and permissions

Agent Release Control Plane trust boundaries

Authorized or synthetic test data, trace redaction, role-based release permissions, isolated evaluation credentials, and controlled retention protect the evaluation plane.

Scaling and reliability

Agent Release Control Plane operating model

Evaluation jobs use queues, partitioned datasets, concurrency limits, cached fixtures, and provider rate limits. Partial suites can retry without losing the full release record.

Failure modes and recovery

Agent Release Control Plane recovery paths

Provider outages pause affected jobs, incomplete traces are marked invalid, scorer failures are rerun independently, threshold failures block promotion, and rollback restores the last approved version.

Software testing

Agent Release Control Plane deterministic test coverage

Tests cover dataset integrity, version binding, scoring determinism, threshold enforcement, permissions, worker retries, release rejection, and rollback selection.

AI evaluation

Agent Release Control Plane behavior evaluation

Suites assess task completion, grounding, retrieval, tool selection, authorization, escalation, latency, cost, and known regressions. Human review handles criteria that cannot be reduced to deterministic scoring.

Observability and AgentOps

Agent Release Control Plane operational evidence

Dashboards connect candidate versions to runs, traces, scores, failure clusters, queue state, provider errors, and release decisions.

Deployment model

Agent Release Control Plane deployment boundaries

Evaluation workers remain isolated from production. Approved version manifests move through staged environments while the control plane preserves audit evidence and rollback references.

Engineering tradeoffs

Agent Release Control Plane deliberate constraints

Broader suites increase evidence and cost. The design prioritizes representative risk coverage and explicit release ownership rather than treating one aggregate score as proof of reliability.

Evidence position

Agent Release Control Plane claim boundary

Illustrative AgentOps architecture only. No accuracy, reliability, latency, cost, or adoption metric is claimed.
