- Who it helps
- Developers who need to inspect tool calls and constrain agent runs.
- Availability
- Apache-2.0 code and a PyPI package are public. Hosted prompt and experiment features require a Traccia workspace.
Observe and constrain calls
The README describes activity records exported through OpenTelemetry, a standard for collecting application telemetry. Its govern wrapper can deny or reshape model and tool calls. Policies include spending limits, permitted models and loop limits.
Check what leaves the application
Tracing can include prompts and responses. Inspect exporter configuration and redaction before using real records. A policy wrapper should be tested against the actual paths an application can call.
What you can do
- Inspect a spending-limit policy and its call path before designing a test with synthetic prompts and responses. Open reference ↗
