AGENT OBSERVABILITY ON THE CLAUDE PLATFORM

Summary from the TLDR AI newsletter

Users can now send OpenTelemetry traces from Claude Managed Agents, the Messages API, and Claude SDKs to any OTel tool, and follow each step their agents take. Claude traces follow the OpenTelemetry GenAI semantic conventions, so data from Claude and other providers works in the same tools and dashboards. They work with any other OpenTelemetry tool that accepts a standard OTLP endpoint. The new feature can be used to debug agents, improve agents with production data, and track usage across an organization.
