Traccia Py

Traccia Py is an OpenTelemetry-native Python SDK for AI agent observability, tracing, evaluation, and runtime policy enforcement.

Traccia Py is a production-ready Python SDK designed for observing, evaluating, and enforcing policies on AI agents and LLM applications at runtime. Built on OpenTelemetry, it provides distributed tracing, token and cost tracking, evaluation, governance evidence, and runtime policy enforcement. It supports frameworks like OpenAI Agents, LangGraph, CrewAI, and LangChain, with automatic instrumentation for OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, Groq, and HTTP libraries. Developers use it to manage prompts, run offline evaluations, and detect guardrails. It exports telemetry to Grafana Tempo, Jaeger, Zipkin, SigNoz, Console, or File.
