Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| list_tracesA | List recent traces from the application. Use this to get an overview of recent requests, find errors, or identify slow operations. Returns a table of traces with their duration, span count, and error count. |
| get_traceA | Get the detailed span tree for a specific trace. Shows the hierarchy of operations, their timing, and optionally their attributes. Use this to understand the full request flow and identify where time is spent. |
| query_spansA | Search for specific spans across all traces. Use this to find patterns like slow database queries, failed HTTP calls, or specific operations by name. More targeted than list_traces when looking for specific operation types. |
| get_summaryA | Get an overview of all collected trace data. Shows total traces and spans, list of services, and recent errors. Good starting point to understand what data is available. |
| clear_tracesA | Clear all collected traces from memory. Useful for starting fresh between test runs or debugging sessions. Returns count of cleared traces. |
