TraceForge.
Judge the outcome,
not the spend.
Did your agents’ spend buy finished, on-policy work? TraceForge tells you.
- Agent-agnostic
- Claude Code
- OpenAI Codex CLI
- GitHub Copilot CLI
checking task completion… checking policy adherence… checking topic drift… pricing the outcome… verdict rendered
- Task completion holds partial failed evaluating
- Policy adherence holds holds failed evaluating
- On-topic use holds drifted holds evaluating
- Dollars-to-outcome holds partial failed evaluating
Did the agent
actually do the job?
- authorized — the action was allowed to run
- unknown — did it finish, on policy, on mission?
Authorization allows an action. It doesn’t confirm the work got done. TraceForge is the judge that steps in after the action.
How TraceForge works: ingest, structure, judge.
Nothing in the request path. No inference sold. TraceForge reads the logs after the fact and renders a verdict per session.
- 01
Ingest
Reads any agent’s session logs — nothing in the request path, no inference sold.
source: claude-code · codex · copilot · custom - 02
Structure
Links every model call, tool use and retry into one causal session.
calls → tools → retries → outcome - 03
Judge
Scores each session for completion, policy and topic — then prices the result.
verdict: complete | partial | failed
One verdict per session.
- 01 Task completion Was the task done, partial or failed — not just what it cost.
- 02 Policy adherence Did the agent stay inside its guardrails.
- 03 On-topic use Did the session drift from the team’s actual work.
- 04 Dollars-to-outcome How much spend bought failed or off-policy work.
- 01 Task completion Middleware merged, tests green. 3 of 5 migration steps done. Job still flaky at end of session. pass partial fail judging
- 02 Policy adherence Stayed inside its guardrails. Stayed inside its guardrails. Force-pushed to main — not allowed. pass pass fail judging
- 03 On-topic use Every step served the task. Wandered into unrelated tests. Stayed on the CI problem. pass partial pass judging
- 04 Dollars-to-outcome $4.10 bought finished work. $19.40 bought about half the job. $7.30 bought nothing usable. pass partial fail judging
TraceForge verdicts become authority.
Two agents with identical identity earn different authority because their history is different. TraceForge’s verdicts feed TIM and the Trust Graph — performance shapes future permission.
