PlatPhorm Trace
The observability spine for every agent, tool, API, and workflow step across PlatPhormNews.
Trace Mission
PlatPhorm Trace is the telescope that lets you see inside any AI's mind, and it is also the cross-network trace spine for PlatPhormNews. It receives W3C trace context, spans, async job updates, tool calls, service hops, and public-safe evidence from the platform.
Its job is to show what happened, where it happened, what completed, what failed, what is still pending, what crossed service boundaries, and which evidence proves the result. MCP is one integration; Trace also observes APIs, BrowserOps journeys, Evals, Sandbox commands, AgentUI workflows, Claws orchestrations, report exports, ingestion pipelines, and platphormctl runs.

Trace Capabilities
Execution timeline
Group real spans into timelines, trees, waterfalls, critical paths, and service maps.
Model-assisted explanations
Model-assisted summaries are labeled and constrained to deterministic trace evidence.
Replay and forks
Replay and fork actions are protected and degrade honestly when adapters are unavailable.
Human-readable observatory
Operators can see what completed, failed, stayed pending, arrived late, or became orphaned.
Cross-site propagation
Trace correlates MCP, API, BrowserOps, Evals, Sandbox, AgentUI, Claws, and CLI spans.
Evidence and reports
Public-safe evidence is visible, while private artifacts and report generation require PLATPHORM_API_KEY.
Documentation and Standards
Inspect the Trace Spine
Public-safe reads are open. Ingestion, replay, forks, syncs, and reports require PLATPHORM_API_KEY.
