AI Agent Ops

Agent demos are easy; agent operations are not. AI Agent Ops documents how Hexalian runs agentic systems in production: workflow design, evaluation, guardrails, observability, cost control, and change management when prompts and tools evolve weekly.

If you already automate with n8n or custom code, this book shows the next layer—how to prevent silent drift, govern knowledge retrieval, and respond when an agent misbehaves in front of a customer.

Start with AI Automation for workflow foundations; add this volume when agents become business-critical infrastructure.

What you'll learn

• Design agent workflows with boundaries, tools, and human escalation
• Build evaluation gates that catch silent drift before users do
• Stop prompt injection, data exposure, and abuse at the architecture layer
• Trace agent runs and diagnose failures in minutes, not days
• Manage token budgets, caching, and routing for cost control
• Run incident response and governance for agent fleets
• Keep RAG knowledge bases correct as documents change

Who this is for

• Teams shipping agentic features beyond a single ChatGPT wrapper
• Platform engineers responsible for observability and guardrails
• Leaders who need agents to be profitable, not just impressive demos
