Teams have confined agents to root-cause finding, alert tuning and drafting runbooks, but observability is struggling to keep pace with hallucinations. The gap matters because engineers are increasingly acting on agent diagnoses they cannot verify.", "body_md": "Sixty-two percent of IT and engineering professionals now rely on AI agents frequently to work out why their systems broke, and more than half have no way to measure whether the agents get it right.
