Learning/AI Agents — Complete Guide/Lesson 26
Chapter 9·Lesson 2 of 3·10 min

Observability

Tracing agent runs

Connect model calls, tools, policies, and outcomes into one trace.

Lesson overview

Tracing

Assign a run ID to every task. Each model call, tool call, result, approval, and error should reference that ID.

This makes multi-step failures diagnosable instead of opaque.

Step 1

Theory

Tracing

Assign a run ID to every task. Each model call, tool call, result, approval, and error should reference that ID.

This makes multi-step failures diagnosable instead of opaque.

Step 2

Example

Example

Apply Tracing agent runs to a realistic production scenario and trace the decision step by step.

Step 3

Code

Code

Add implementation notes or a runnable example for this concept.

Step 4

Practice

Practice

Write down the inputs, expected output, constraints, and one failure case for Tracing agent runs.

Step 5

Quiz

Quiz coming soon.

Step 6

Challenge

Challenge

Design a production-ready solution for Tracing agent runs and explain one important trade-off.
