SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Show agent flow trace timeline and summary to help debugging and optimization of multi-agent interactions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate a chronological event timeline showing how hooks, keywords, skills, agents, and tools interacted during a session.
  • Provide aggregate statistics such as hook fire counts, keywords detected, skills activated, and mode transitions to guide performance analysis.
  • Use Case: When diagnosing complex agent workflows, run the timeline to trace the sequence of events and the summary to quantify activities.

Quick Start

Run trace_timeline with no arguments to show the latest session, then run trace_summary to view the aggregate statistics.

FAQPage Schema
How do I debug multi-agent workflow interactions and trace performance issues?

To debug multi-agent workflow interactions, you can generate a chronological event timeline showing how hooks, keywords, skills, agents, and tools interacted during a session to trace performance issues and flow patterns.

What is the best way to monitor agent flow and get aggregate statistics for a session?

Monitoring agent flow involves generating a chronological timeline and summary that provides aggregate statistics like hook fire counts, keywords detected, and mode transitions to guide performance analysis.

Can I view a timeline of hooks, skills, and tools activated during an agent session?

Yes, you can view a chronological event timeline showing exactly how hooks, keywords, skills, agents, and tools interacted throughout a session to help diagnose flow patterns and performance issues.

Do I need specific MCP tools available to trace agent flow and interactions?

Yes, tracing agent flow requires the trace_timeline and trace_summary MCP tools to be available in your runtime environment to display the timeline and aggregate statistics.

How do I quantify activities like hook fire counts and mode transitions in multi-agent interactions?

You can quantify activities by running a trace summary to view aggregate statistics such as hook fire counts, keywords detected, skills activated, and mode transitions for performance analysis.
