Question

You operate a production Foundry agent that calls several external APIs through registered tools. Support reports intermittent failures where the agent returns incomplete answers. You need to diagnose which tool invocations are failing and correlate them with the specific user turns and model reasoning steps, without adding custom logging code to each tool. What should you do first?

Accepted Answer

Enable tracing in the Foundry project and inspect the captured spans for each run, filtering on tool-call spans that returned errors or exceptions

Answer

Increase the agent's temperature so it retries failed tool calls with more varied inputs

Answer

Reduce the max token limit on the model deployment to force shorter, more reliable responses

Answer

Switch the agent to a fully autonomous oversight mode so it can recover from failures without human intervention
