# Metrics

Agentic Testing in **RagaAI Catalyst** is built for evaluating advanced, autonomous AI systems. Agentic applications are capable of planning, reasoning, and executing multi-step tasks that require specialized metrics that can handle dynamic behavior, trace-level evaluation, and safety validation.

### Why These Metrics Matter

* **Deep behavior insights**: Uncover how agents make decisions through trace-level metric data.
* **Safety & robustness**: Detect hallucinations, toxicity, misalignment, and other failure modes early.
* **Comparative analysis**: Benchmark agent performance across runs to optimize planning logic and tool integration.
* **Customizability**: Supplement default metrics with custom ones tailored to your domain or workflow.

# Agent Instructions: Querying This Documentation

If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.raga.ai/ragaai-catalyst/agentic-testing/metrics.md?ask=<question>
```

The question should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
