SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Visualize and analyze the sequence of events in a session, including hooks, keywords, skills, agents, and tools, to improve debugging and optimization.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Timeline visualization of session events
  • Aggregate statistics like hook fire counts, keywords detected, skills activated, mode transitions, tool performance
  • Use case: debugging and optimizing complex agent workflows across hooks, keywords, skills, agents, and tools.

Quick Start

Ask the trace tool to display the latest session timeline with an optional filter to focus on hooks, keywords, skills, agents, tools, or modes.

FAQPage Schema
How do I visualize the chronological trace of agent interactions to diagnose session flow?

You can visualize agent interactions by generating a timeline that shows the chronological sequence of hooks, keywords, skills, agents, and tools, diagnosing flow issues during debugging.

Can I filter the agent workflow timeline to focus only on specific event types?

Yes, you can filter the session timeline by event types such as hooks, keywords, skills, agents, tools, or modes, limiting outputs for targeted debugging and workflow optimization.

What aggregate statistics can I get from debugging an agent session workflow?

Debugging an agent session provides aggregate statistics including hook fire counts, keywords detected, skills activated, mode transitions, and tool performance to optimize workflows.

Do I need specific MCP tools to generate a session timeline and summary?

Yes, generating a session timeline and summary requires access to the trace_timeline and trace_summary MCP tools to visualize end-to-end agent flow traces for debugging.

What is the best way to debug complex agent workflows across multiple session components?

The best way to debug complex agent workflows is to visualize the chronological trace of session events, analyzing hooks, keywords, skills, agents, and tools to optimize performance.
