Democratizing measurement capabilities thus demands automating both workflow generation and verification against methodological standards established through decades of research. We present Airavat, the first agentic framework for Internet measurement workflow generation with systematic verification and validation. Airavat coordinates a set of agents mirroring expert reasoning: three agents handle problem decomposition, solution design, and code implementation, with assistance from a registry of existing tools. Two specialized engines ensure methodological correctness: a Verification Engine evaluates workflows against a knowledge graph encoding five decades of measurement research, while a Validation Engine identifies appropriate validation techniques grounded in established methodologies. Through four Internet measurement case studies, we demonstrate that Ai...
