This post is for engineers building agentic harness — especially if you are thinking about tools, memory, evals, observability, and production reliability.
Armorer Labs builds security infrastructure for AI agents. Our first tool, Armorer Guard, is a fast local Rust scanner for prompt injection, credential leaks, data exfiltration, safety bypass, and ris
For me the hardest part is the feedback loop between evals and observability.
Tool reliability, memory, and traces matter, but they become much more useful when every production run produces a receipt you can replay: task intent, tool calls, approvals/retries, final artifact, verifier result, cost/latency, and what changed after review.
That turns "the agent failed" into "this class of task fails when tool X returns stale state" or "handoffs fail after step 4". That is the layer we keep coming back to while building Armorer and Armorer Guard.

What is the hardest part of productionizing agents in your experience: tool reliability, evals, memory, or observability?
