Beyond "Is It Running?"

Most teams monitor uptime. That's table stakes. For AI agents, you need three more metrics:

1. Task Completion Rate

What percentage of tasks does the agent actually finish? Not start. Finish. Track this per task type.

2. Intervention Rate

How often does a human have to step in? This is your true automation score. Target: <5% for mature agents.

3. Token Efficiency

Tokens used per successful task. This catches both cost bloat and quality degradation (verbose ≠ better).

My Dashboard

Metric Target Current
Completion Rate >95% 97.2%
Intervention Rate <5% 3.1%
Tokens/Task <2000 1,847

When any metric dips, I know exactly where to look.
