Agent tracing
Agent tracing is telemetry of an agent's actions: recording and visualizing the full tree of calls, decisions, tool uses, and costs during execution. It makes it possible to reconstruct why an agent took a given action, detect loops and infinite calls, and pinpoint failures. It is provided by observability tools.
