Commit the release slot to injection review before engineering begins

You’re the product manager. Your team is in the room. Printed Oct 12, 2026.

The next release can deepen evidence for one dangerous agent action or broaden evaluation coverage across all agents.

Security reviewers need a defensible record of suspected misuse, while product adoption depends on covering more of the agent lifecycle.

Who you’d be doing this for

“My security lead asked why the agent did that, and I still can’t replay the whole decision.”

Rocio Cardoso · AI Application Engineer

Operates a customer-facing support agent that can trigger account actions.

What is at stake

A design partner cannot reconstruct a suspected prompt-injection action from its trace and evaluations. You must weigh a defensible investigation path against broader evaluation coverage in the only committed release slot.

Why it isn’t already fixed

Every obvious fix costs something else. That’s the part you’d have to decide.

  • security evidence vs evaluation breadth
  • release certainty vs investigation depth
  • automated signals vs human verification
  • design-partner urgency vs platform coherence

Why Datadog

Agent Observability connects agent traces and evaluations with production telemetry, making the evidence behind an agent action part of how customers operate AI in production.
