DGS vs Agent Frameworks
Evaluating agents.
Treat agents like systems: measure success, errors, and review cost.
Fact
Evaluation must be task-based
A useful metric is whether the system completes a defined task with clear acceptance criteria — not whether a response sounds confident.
Fact
Tool-call errors are measurable
You can measure invalid arguments, tool failures, retries, and recovery behavior. These show up in logs and traces.
Fact
Review time is a real cost
If outputs require heavy human rewriting, “autonomy” shifts work instead of reducing it.
