TL;DR AI

Key summary

2 min read
  1. apcore presents an observability pattern for agentic AI systems using OpenTelemetry spans around each `Executor.call()`.

  2. It adds AI-specific metadata, propagates trace context across services, and exposes metrics for counts, latency, and errors.

  3. Tracing can be enabled by registering `TracingMiddleware`, making agent behavior easier to inspect in production.

  4. The approach helps teams debug multi-step reasoning and tool use, where failures often lack a clear stack trace.
