SKILL.md

agentops-agent - Doctor skill

Use this skill when the user asks any of:

  • "Are my agents healthy in production?"
  • "Run the doctor"
  • "Anything regressed in our last evals?"
  • "Show latency / error spikes from Azure Monitor"
  • "Open the AgentOps doctor report"

This skill is the front door to agentops doctor and the agentops agent serve Copilot Extension. It does not invent findings - it shells out to the CLI which reads real data from:

  1. .agentops/results/*/results.json (eval history)
  2. Application Insights traces emitted by Foundry agents
  3. Foundry control plane (azure-ai-projects)

Doctor and Cockpit are read-only readiness tools. They help answer "can we ship it, and where is the proof?" They do not create, deploy, mutate, or delete Foundry or Azure resources.

Workflow

1. Validate the workspace

Look for .agentops/agent.yaml. If absent, copy the template:

mkdir -p .agentops
cp $(python -c "import agentops, os, pathlib;
print(pathlib.Path(agentops.__file__).parent / 'templates' / 'agent.yaml')") .agentops/agent.yaml

Edit app_insights_resource_id and project_endpoint_env if the user wants the Azure Monitor / Foundry sources to be live. Without those values the sources skip gracefully.

2. Run the analyzer

agentops doctor --severity-fail critical

The command writes .agentops/agent/report.md. Exit codes:

  • 0 - no findings at or above the configured severity floor
  • 2 - at least one finding meets the severity floor (use this in CI)
  • 1 - runtime / configuration error

3. Read and summarize

Open .agentops/agent/report.md. The report has:

  • Verdict banner - overall pass / warning / critical
  • Summary - counts by severity
  • Sources - which sources ran, which were skipped and why
  • Findings - sorted by severity, each with a recommendation
  • Recent runs - appendix of the last lookback_runs evals

When summarising for the user, lead with the verdict, then the top 3 findings, each with the recommendation. Always cite the finding id so the user can grep them later.

Governance findings use the governance.* prefix. They are read-only checks for ASSERT, ACS, and red-team evidence paths declared in agentops.yaml or discovered in the workspace. If governance is not configured, Doctor should stay silent; if a configured artifact is missing, invalid, or ACS coverage is partial, route the user to the agentops-governance skill.

4. Drive remediation, do not invent it

For each finding the report includes a Recommendation. Follow it verbatim - for example, if the finding says "compare the latest run against the baseline runs in .agentops/results/", actually open those folders.

Local cockpit (agentops cockpit)

For a workspace-level operations view the user can open a local Cockpit:

pip install "agentops-accelerator[agent] @ git+https://github.com/Azure/agentops.git@main"
agentops cockpit
# → http://127.0.0.1:8090

Cockpit reads local AgentOps artifacts first: .agentops/results/, generated reports, .agentops/agent/history.jsonl, and workflow files. When a Foundry project is configured, it also resolves telemetry readiness and links to the matching Foundry and Azure Monitor views. It is read-only and bound to localhost.

When telemetry is enabled the analyzer also emits OpenTelemetry spans for the Doctor run with per-severity / per-category counters, useful for long-term retention in App Insights or any OTel backend. Resolution order:

  1. APPLICATIONINSIGHTS_CONNECTION_STRING (or the AgentOps-prefixed variant) - explicit user configuration always wins.
  2. AGENTOPS_OTLP_ENDPOINT - generic OTLP/HTTP exporter.
  3. Auto-discovery - when AZURE_AI_FOUNDRY_PROJECT_ENDPOINT is set but no explicit env var is, AgentOps asks the Foundry project for the connection string of the Application Insights resource attached to it. Zero configuration when the user is already on Foundry.

Copilot Extension server

If the user wants the Doctor inside Copilot Chat, they can:

pip install "agentops-accelerator[agent] @ git+https://github.com/Azure/agentops.git@main"
agentops agent serve --no-verify       # local dev

For production, point them at:

  • src/agentops/templates/agent-server/Dockerfile
  • src/agentops/templates/agent-server/main.bicep
  • src/agentops/templates/agent-server/README.md

These are the deploy scaffold for hosting the Doctor as a Copilot Extension on Azure Container Apps.

Guardrails

  • Do not fabricate findings, metric values, or recommendations.
  • Do not invent CLI flags. The contract is exactly:
    • agentops doctor [--workspace] [--config] [--out] [--lookback-days] [--severity-fail]
    • agentops agent serve [--host] [--port] [--config] [--no-verify] [--workers]
    • agentops cockpit [--host] [--port] [--workspace]
  • If a source is skipped or error, surface that as the first thing in the user-facing summary so they know the analyzer ran with partial data.
  • Never suggest disabling content-safety checks - recommend filtering the offending row or tightening the system prompt instead.
  • Never suggest that AgentOps executes ASSERT, applies ACS controls, or runs red-team campaigns. It only records evidence and readiness findings.
