Overview

Raindrop is an AI agent monitoring and observability platform built to help teams inspect production behavior, surface failures, and verify that fixes actually solve the underlying issue. It combines trace capture, signal tracking, triage, alerts, and experiments in a workflow centered on real agent events.

The product is designed around investigation and follow-through: trace a run, identify patterns, ask Triage for a root-cause analysis, notify the right Slack channel, and then run an experiment against live traffic to confirm the regression is gone. The documentation also shows MCP support for coding agents, so the same issue context can be pulled into development workflows.

Features

Trace production runs

Capture every production run in one place, including messages, tool calls, retries, and errors, so teams can inspect what actually happened instead of guessing from logs alone.

Automatic issue surfacing

Detect issues from traces and surface real failures to Slack, including hallucinations, loops, and broken tools, so silent problems become visible quickly.

Signal tracking

Define ground-truth signals for agent performance with default, custom, classifier, keyword/regex, and instrumented signals, then track them over future events and backfill recent history.

Slack, web, and MCP triage

Use Triage to investigate issues with semantic and regex search, signal counts, trace inspection, charts, and experiments, then get replies grounded in real conversations.

Agent experiments

Run experiments against live traffic by combining models, properties, tools, signals, and date ranges to compare behavior and check whether a change fixed the problem.

Automated notifications

Set up scheduled investigations, daily digests, and custom threshold-based alerts so teams can monitor recurring patterns without manually checking the app.

Use cases

Production incident investigation
Monitor production agents for silent failures such as hallucinations, loops, broken tools, or task failures, then inspect the trace to see exactly where the run diverged.
Slack-based triage
Let support or engineering teams ask Raindrop questions in Slack, keep the investigation in-thread, and use the returned examples to understand root cause and user impact.
Operational signal monitoring
Create signals from observed patterns, refine them with examples, and track incidents over time so recurring behaviors can be measured instead of handled ad hoc.
Release validation
A/B test changes to models, tools, prompts, or feature-flagged behavior against live traffic, then verify whether the regression disappears before rolling out further.
Coding-agent assisted debugging
Use the MCP workflow to pull a live production issue into a coding agent, inspect the failing examples, make a targeted fix, and run tests before opening a PR.

FAQ

What is Raindrop used for?

Raindrop is set up to monitor AI agent behavior, surface failures, and help teams investigate issues through traces, signals, Slack, and the web app. Its docs also describe an MCP workflow for coding agents.

Does Raindrop work in Slack?

The docs show Slack as a primary surface: you can @mention Raindrop in a channel, continue investigations in-thread, and receive proactive alerts, daily digests, and scheduled Agent Briefs there.

Where can I use the Triage Agent?

Raindrop’s Triage Agent is available in three places: Slack, the web app, and as an MCP integration for coding agents such as Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex.

What does Raindrop cost?

No pricing details were available from the pricing page, which returned a 404 in the provided evidence. The source only confirms the product site and documentation, not a published plan structure.

Can Raindrop help validate agent fixes?

Raindrop documents experiments as a way to A/B test agents using combinations of models, properties, tools, signals, and date ranges, then confirm whether a fix actually worked.
