AgentPProf: Semantic Profiler for Long Horizon AI Agents· AgentPProf: 长时间AI代理的语义分析器
AI agents increasingly orchestrate long-running activities with users, tools, and system resources for days and weeks. To improve agent quality, safety, and cost efficiency, developers need to determine where failures happen, what triggers unsafe effects, and which tasks consume the most budget, then optimize those tasks. In systems software, profiling answers similar questions by aggregating resource consumption and attributing it to responsible code paths to identify hotspots. Yet existing agent observability tools focus on per-execution debugging and tracing rather than cross-run, long term profiling, making these questions difficult to answer at scale. Agent observability needs profiling, not only debugging, but profiling agents is challenging: the responsible entities are task intent
