SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Run a structured post-task AX Interview that surfaces friction invisible to evaluations by applying Gricean maxims to agent-tool interactions and analyzing behavioral signals against traces.

Core Features & Use Cases

Phase-based trace analysis including maxim violations, implicature detection, dialog probes, cross-reference checks, and Pragmatic Coherence Score reporting.
Useful after multi-step agent tasks to reveal hidden performance issues and generate prioritized fixes.

Quick Start

After a task session, run the AX Interview to generate a Pragmatic Coherence Score and a ranked list of fixes.

FAQPage Schema

How do I analyze agent-tool interaction traces to find hidden friction?▼

Evaluate tool friction by running a structured post-task AX Interview that applies Gricean maxims to dialog and traces, yielding a Pragmatic Coherence Score and prioritized fixes.

What is a Pragmatic Coherence Score in agent evaluation?▼

A Pragmatic Coherence Score is a metric generated by analyzing behavioral signals against trace data to measure pragmatic coherence and reveal hidden performance issues in agent-tool interactions.

Can I evaluate agent tool friction with dialog only if trace data is unavailable?▼

Yes, you can run the AX Interview in dialog-only mode when traces are unavailable, applying Gricean maxims to detect friction and generate a Pragmatic Coherence Score from the completed session.

When should I run a Gricean maxim analysis on agent traces?▼

Run Gricean maxim analysis after a completed multi-step agent task session to evaluate agent-tool interactions and generate prioritized fixes for hidden performance issues.

What inputs do I need to perform a trace analysis for agent-tool interactions?▼

Required inputs include a completed task session, trace data, and the tools under evaluation; if these are missing, the session will prompt for the necessary data.
