Summary

Grafana Labs published guidance on applying service-level objectives (SLOs) to AI agent behavior, proposing measurable reliability targets as a way to bound agent hallucinations.

Key facts

  • Grafana Labs published the guidance on 2026-09-24.
  • The approach applies SLOs, a standard observability practice, to AI agent behavior.
  • The stated goal is making agent reliability something teams can reason about rather than hope for.

Why it matters

Teams building or buying AI agents get a concrete method for setting measurable reliability targets instead of treating hallucinations as an unquantified risk.
