OpenTelemetry and OpenFeature Combine for Agent Loop Control
The article argues that agent loops need real-time visibility and control, not post-mortem logging. OpenTelemetry provides live state reporting, while OpenFeature enables instant behavior changes via feature flags. Together, they form a control plane for bounded autonomy in AI systems.

The piece reframes observability and feature flags as essential infrastructure for agent loops, but the concepts aren't new—they're borrowed from distributed systems, which may limit the novelty for experienced engineers.
