Test an AI gateway on real agent traffic: five probes
A five-probe test plan for enterprise AI gateways: routing, guardrails, observability, policy, and cost attribution.

A five-probe test plan for enterprise AI gateways: routing, guardrails, observability, policy, and cost attribution.
A minimum viable agent test set pairs technical boundaries, adversarial cases, staging red teaming, action review, and post-launch monitoring.
Treat fast agent deployment as the start of an audit: a five-point field test for setup speed, permissions, visibility, misuse, and rollback.
ChatGPT's local LibreOffice is a useful document pipeline, but only if you treat it as a scoped tool, not a standing permission to roam your files.
Treat ChatGPT downtime as a continuity test: classify tasks, map dependencies, and pre-wire fallbacks before the outage finds you.
Treat agent evaluation like a containment experiment: run one risky task, enforce access, log every call, and score what the sandbox caught.
Before enabling a work tool skill, check its instructions, exposed tools, permissions, and prompt overhead against the manual route.
Authentication proves identity, not restraint; use five post-login probes to catch scope drift, data leaks, and poisoned memory before real work.
Use a real customer escalation ticket to test agent frameworks on tool access, approvals, audit logs, failure recovery, and handoff evidence.
If your agent testing stops at happy-path demos, you are measuring optimism, not readiness; here is a shadow-run matrix for reliability, security, and business outcomes.
Start with the Geelong dead dolphin and seal: two carcasses, community fear, no H5N1 result in the supplied evidence. A constrained monitor briefs named sources, labels gaps, and stops before advice.
