You can still use normal debuggers for the code path, but we found it really valuable to isolate and inspect the agent data stream itself: the exact prompts, model outputs, tool inputs/outputs, and how that impacts cost, time, and behavior over long runs. That visibility has been a big lever for improving overall product quality for some of the deeper agentic experiences we are building. Ability to modify and change models has been useful too.
