HN: SteelSpine replay tool for debugging AI agents
The SteelSpine replay tool is designed for debugging AI agents by allowing users to run and compare different executions. It provides a detailed analysis of divergences between runs and isolates root causes of issues. Additionally, it offers cryptographic proof of the decisions made by the AI during execution.
- ▪SteelSpine allows users to run captured agent executions for debugging purposes.
- ▪The tool can compare different runs and identify where divergences occur.
- ▪It provides a cryptographic verification of the AI's decisions, ensuring audit readiness.
