Tracing
Step-by-step execution timeline for every API call — LLM call, MCP tools, knowledge retrieval, web fetch. The deepest debugging surface in the platform.

Execution flow
Request list
- RowOne API call per row. Newest first. Columns: time, agent, model, status, duration, Trace ID.
- Status pillNeutral for success, accent for error. Click any error row to jump straight into the failing step.
- FiltersAgent, status, date range, and free-text search across the Trace ID. Filter chips combine.
- SortDefault sort is newest first. Click
Durationto surface your slowest requests.
Inspector
- HeaderAgent name, model, status, and Trace ID. The Trace ID matches the
X-Trace-Idheader your server saw — copy it to correlate with your application logs. - Stat cardsTotal latency, prompt tokens, completion tokens, and estimated cost — the same fields you'd find on the Analytics breakdown table, framed for a single request.
- Latency breakdown barColoured segments — LLM call, MCP tool, knowledge retrieval, web fetch. Hover any segment for its duration in milliseconds. Mostly-LLM bars indicate model-bound latency; mostly-tool bars indicate slow integrations.
- MCP ToolsEvery MCP server + tool the agent had access to during this call. If you expected a specific tool to fire and it's not listed here, the agent chose not to call it (check the system prompt) or the server wasn't enabled at request time.
- Execution FlowNested tree of every recorded step with model, latency, status, and payload metadata. Click a node to expand its fields. Failed steps are highlighted so you can find the breakage without scrolling.
Debug a failing request
- 1
Find the request
Filter the request list by the failing agent and a status oferror. Sort by time to find the most recent failure. - 2
Open the inspector
Click the row. Scan the latency breakdown bar — the colour that dominates points at which subsystem caused the issue. - 3
Drill into Execution Flow
Expand the failing step (it's highlighted). Theerror_messagefield carries the root cause and the upstream provider's response code. - 4
Copy the Trace ID
Paste it into your application logs (or your Sentry dashboard) to correlate with the upstream caller that triggered the request.
Retention
Trace retention follows your plan — 14 days on Starter, 90 days on Pro, 365 days on Enterprise. Older traces are aggregated into Analytics indefinitely.
