agent-guardrails-observability

A stateful LangGraph agent that works with mock Jira and ServiceNow tools, wrapped in input, tool and output guardrails (prompt injection, PII, tool allowlists and budgets), traced with OpenTelemetry (Langfuse compatible via OTLP), and gated in CI by a DeepEval style eval suite and a red-team suite.

It runs fully offline. The default "LLM" is a deterministic rule based planner that emits the same tool call actions a model would, so the graph, guardrails, evals and attacks are all reproducible in CI without API keys. An Ollama provider lets you run the same graph against a small local open model.

Portfolio demo. The planner is a stub, the Jira and ServiceNow backends are in memory mocks, and the guardrails are heuristic. It shows the engineering around an agent, not a production assistant.

Problem

Putting an agent in front of enterprise tools raises questions that the model alone does not answer:

  • Safety: users (or text inside a ticket) can try to hijack the agent; personal data must not reach tools, logs or answers.
  • Control: the agent must only call allowed tools, with validated arguments, and a bounded number of times.
  • Memory: "move it to in progress" must resolve to the right ticket, per conversation.
  • Observability: every turn should produce a trace you can inspect.
  • Regression safety: a prompt or model change should fail CI if quality or defences drop.

Loading

Run it

python -m venv .venv && . .venv/bin/activate
pip install -e ".[dev]"
uvicorn agentops.api:app --reload

curl -s localhost:8000/chat -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"message": "Create a high priority ticket for login page returns 500", "thread_id": "demo"}'
curl -s localhost:8000/chat -H 'content-type: application/json' \
  -d '{"message": "Move it to in progress", "thread_id": "demo"}'

With traces in Jaeger (http://localhost:16686):

docker compose up --build

To send traces to a self hosted Langfuse instead, set OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://<langfuse>/api/public/otel and OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_HEADERS="Authorization=Basic <base64 public:secret>".

To try a local model: run Ollama with a small model (for example qwen2.5:3b) and pass OllamaLLM() to GuardedAgent. The evals in CI always use the deterministic stub.

Tests, evals and red-team

pytest -q                                   # unit, graph, tracing, API, evals and attacks
python -m agentops.evals evals/dataset.jsonl
python -m agentops.redteam redteam/attacks.jsonl

Eval metrics (agentops/evals.py), modelled on DeepEval's measure() and threshold pattern but scored deterministically:

Metric What it checks
tool_correctness the expected tools were called, in order
answer_relevancy the expected facts appear in the answer
faithfulness every ticket key or incident number in the answer came from a tool output (no invented IDs)
pii_leakage no PII or forbidden strings in the answer

Current eval results:

Defended: 100% of 14 attacks

There is also a false positive test set: ordinary phrases such as "Ignore the flaky test in CI for now and open a bug about it" must not be blocked.

The trace test asserts that every node emits a span in one trace, that spans carry GenAI style attributes (gen_ai.system, gen_ai.operation.name, latency), and that PII never appears in any span attribute.

CI runs lint and tests on Python 3.11 and 3.12, writes the eval and red-team tables to the job summary, fails if either drops below 100%, and smoke tests the Docker image.

Design decisions

  • Guardrails as graph nodes, not prompt text. They run whatever the model says, are unit testable and show up as their own spans.
  • Redact, do not block, PII. Users still get help; emails, card numbers (Luhn checked), IBANs, Irish PPSNs and phone numbers are replaced before reaching tools, traces or answers.
  • Treat tool output as untrusted. Ticket descriptions are scanned for instructions before the planner sees them (indirect prompt injection is the main real world agent risk).
  • Typed tools. Every call is validated with pydantic (issue key formats, allowed statuses, lengths) and errors are returned to the planner instead of crashing the graph.
  • Checkpointer memory. LangGraph's MemorySaver keeps state per thread_id, including working memory (last_issue, last_incident) used to resolve "it" and "that incident". History is capped at 20 messages.
  • Deterministic stub provider. It makes evals stable enough to gate CI. The provider interface is small, so a real model only has to return one JSON action.
  • Own OpenTelemetry provider instance rather than the global one, so tests can attach an in memory exporter.

Limitations

  • The rule based planner understands a narrow set of phrasings; it is a test double, not NLU.
  • Injection detection is pattern based and will miss novel attacks; a classifier model and output side checks would be layered on top in practice.
  • Mocks only cover create, search, transition and update; no auth, pagination or rate limits.
  • MemorySaver is in process; a real deployment would use the Postgres or Redis checkpointer.
