Ax allows for early stopping of trials if it detects that they are unlikely to succeed. This can be extremely beneficial in terms of optimization time and equipment safety.
One way we can do this is subscribe to the RunEngine to try and extract information while the plan is running. I'm not sure what kind of information would be needed.
I am doubtful that we would be able to read image data (or any data stored in files) using this, but maybe this is still useful.
