Difficulty: 4/10Beginner-Friendly

Agent Canary Task Monitor

Runs a handful of known-good canary tasks against your live agent on a schedule and alerts the moment its output, tool path, latency, or cost drifts from baseline.

🎯The Problem

A model provider ships a silent update, a prompt gets edited, a dependency changes, and an agent that worked yesterday quietly gets worse today. The solo dev has no idea until users complain, because nothing continuously checks that the agent still does its job. Eval platforms test before deploy; nothing runs a few known-good tasks against the live agent on a schedule and screams when the behavior changes.

💡The Solution

Define a handful of canary tasks with known-good outcomes, then run them against the live agent on a schedule. When a canary's output, tool path, latency, or cost deviates from its baseline, alert immediately. It is a smoke alarm for 'your live agent changed', not a full eval suite.

👥Target Users

Solo and small-team developers running a production agent who need to know within the hour when its behavior changes.
