What a trace contains
- The plan the agent made.
- Each tool call with its arguments and result.
- Reflection and verification steps.
- Tokens, latency, and cost per step.
- The run id, so you can link a trace to an audit entry.
Open a trace
- From the live log or history, click a run’s "trace" link.

- Scroll through the steps in order.
What to look for
A tool call that returned an unexpected result, a plan that was too broad, or a verify step that did not actually verify. The trace is where "why did it do that" gets answered.
Use it to tune
Found a step that keeps failing? Tighten the capabilities or shorten the system prompt. The trace tells you what changed, not just that something went wrong.
