LLM tracing
Definition
LLM tracing is the technique of recording the sequence of model and tool calls behind a single AI agent response so it can be replayed and inspected step by step.
In more detail
LLM tracing typically builds on distributed tracing concepts (spans, parent-child relationships) extended with AI-specific fields: tokens, cost, model identity, prompt and completion payloads, and time to first token.
