Have you heard about METRO? METRO is the embedded measurement and observability framework within Oracle AI Agent Studio. It stands for:
Oracle have introduced METRO as part of release 25D. It is a brand-new set of monitoring and evaluation tools built right into Oracle AI Agent Studio. Think of METRO as your control centre for AI agents in production. It gives you everything you need to keep an eye on accuracy, compliance, performance, costs, latency and even token usage. In short, it helps you make sure your agents are doing exactly what you expect, without any surprises.
The world of AI agents isn’t straightforward, responses can vary, workflows aren’t always predictable, and traditional checks don’t always work. That’s where METRO steps in. It’s designed for this new reality, offering smart ways to check semantic correctness, track detailed performance metrics and keep guardrails in place against risks like prompt injection. Whether you’re running complex multi-agent setups or more structured workflows, METRO makes it easier to stay on top of quality and reliability.
One of the best parts? The dashboard. It gives you a clear view of key stats like latency, error rates, token counts and correctness scores. And if you want to dig deeper, you can trace every single step an agent took, from LLM calls to tools used and outputs generated. This level of detail means you can troubleshoot quickly and optimise performance without the guesswork.
METRO also helps with testing, using the industry-standard LLM-as-a-Judge approach to score responses and provide feedback you can act on. Combine that with new features in 25D, like deterministic workflow agents and support for models such as GPT‑5 mini, and you’ve got flexibility to build agents for any scenario.
METRO isn’t just another feature, it’s a game-changer for anyone looking to manage AI agents with confidence. By combining deep insights, flexible evaluation tools and full traceability, it gives you everything you need to keep your AI ecosystem running smoothly. And with the added power of new models and workflow options in 25D, you’ve got all the tools to innovate faster and smarter. The future of AI governance starts here and METRO makes it simple!
