The Reality of Production LLMs

AI agents fail differently than traditional microservices.

Traditional APMs look for HTTP 500 errors and CPU spikes. But autonomous agents fail quietly: recursive loops, invalid tool JSON outputs, hallucinated function arguments, and exponential token drain.

Recursive Runaway Loops

When an agent hits an ambiguous tool error, it frequently enters an unmonitored retry loop, consuming 30+ turns and exhausting context limits before timing out.

Opaque Tool Delegations

When a coordinator agent delegates to sub-agents, debugging why a customer received incorrect data requires digging through megabytes of unindexed console logs.

Uncontrolled Token Inflation

Without per-step attribution, an innocent prompt modification or vector search top_k increase can quietly quadruple your monthly API invoice overnight.

Engine Capabilities

Engineered for engineers building production agent systems.

Every feature is designed with zero-fluff engineering rigor, strict data security boundaries, and minimal performance overhead.

Core Engine

Agent Execution Graph Tracing

Visualize complex multi-agent reasoning chains, sub-agent delegations, tool calls, and LLM completions in an interactive DAG graph.

Cost Control

Granular Token Cost Attribution

Track token consumption down to the prompt node, tool call, session, and tenant. Detect cost anomalies in real-time.

Reliability

Runtime Semantic Guardrails

Non-blocking asynchronous assertions for hallucination rate, schema conformance, prompt injection, and output safety.

Automated Safety

Silent Failure & Loop Detection

Automatically terminate runaway recursive agent loops and pinpoint unhandled tool errors before users notice.

Developer First

Two-Line SDK Integration

Plug-and-play SDKs for Python and TypeScript with native support for LangChain, LlamaIndex, AutoGen, and raw LLM clients.

Privacy First

Zero-Payload-Storage Option

Comply with strict enterprise data governance. Keep raw prompt payloads in your own VPC while streaming traces securely.

Implementation Workflow

Zero friction from prototype to production.

01

Import the SDK

Add the lightweight OpenTelemetry-compatible wrapper to your Python or Node.js application. Zero monkey-patching of sensitive network sockets.

npm i @synaptrace/sdk
02

Stream Traces Asynchronously

Agent execution graphs, tool arguments, token counts, and step durations are batched and emitted in the background without degrading user response latency.

tracer.traceSession(...)
03

Enforce Runtime Guardrails

Configure cost caps, detect runaway recursive loops, verify output schemas, and receive automated alerts before minor issues affect end-users.
