Welcome to TraceAgent

· 2 min read

We're excited to introduce TraceAgent — an open-source observability and tracing platform built specifically for AI agents.

Why We Built This

Traditional observability tools were designed for microservices and web applications. They understand HTTP requests, database queries, and queue messages. But they don't understand what it means for an AI agent to:

  • Call a tool and decide what to do with the result
  • Write a file and then read it back to verify
  • Retry a failed command with a different strategy
  • Chain multiple decisions across a complex planning flow

TraceAgent fills this gap with an agent-first tracing specification and a purpose-built visualization UI.

What You Can Do Today

  • 📦 Install the SDK and start tracing in minutes
  • 🔗 Connect LangChain agents with a single callback handler
  • 📊 Visualize execution through interactive timelines
  • 🏠 Self-host everything — full data ownership

Getting Started

The fastest way to get started:

pip install trace-agent-sdk

Then head to our Quick Start guide to create your first trace in under 5 minutes.

What's Next

We're actively working on:

  • Enhanced timeline visualization
  • More framework integrations
  • Community plugins and extensions
  • Performance dashboards
