AI learning answer
What failures should agent evals include?
Short answer from Learnetto's Best AI agent evaluation courses guide.
Short answer
Include wrong tool choice, bad retrieval, stale data, unsafe actions, loops, missing clarification, and cases where the agent should stop. These are the failures that polished demos usually hide.
Context from the full guide
Start with Evaluating AI Agents for a beginner-friendly 2-hour-36-minute course with Python exercises. Add an official provider lab or LangSmith course when you need a specific implementation, then build a code-owned suite with calibrated graders, CI checks, and production traces.
