      <abstract>
	 <t>   This document provides an overview of the issues associated with the
   deployment of the observability, intervention, and control of
   autonomous agent pipelines in large-scale heterogeneous network
   environments.  The term &quot;Intervention and Control&quot; is used to
   describe a set of automated and human-initiated mechanisms that
   guarantee the capability to observe, constrain, correct, and
   terminate Autonomous agents at any point, for any reason,
   irrespective of their level of autonomy under which it operates, to
   ensure resilience, recovery, and operational continuity.

   The set of enabled observability, intervention and control reflects
   operator service offerings to ensure that autonomous operations can
   be stopped, or safely redirected when required and is designed in
   conjunction with agent to agent, agent to tools, agent to human
   interaction and service and network policy.

   This document also identifies several key areas that the Agent
   Observability, Intervention and Control group will investigate to
   guide its architectural and protocol work and associated documents.
