A trace is the step-by-step record of one run: its model and tool calls, tokens, cost, and errors. Atlan files each trace under the identity that sent it and links it to sessions, visitors, and skills, so you can compare agents, inspect one run, and see who and what it served.

​
Ways to send traces

​
Core offerings

Send and verify traces

Send as the right identity and confirm traces landed.

Compare agent usage

Compare spend, runs, and errors across agents.

How trace inspection works

Read one run from Highlights to the full trace.

Identify visitors

Record who each run was for.

​
Choose where to start

Traces can carry prompts, tool arguments, and responses. Send each agent’s runs with its own API key from an approved secret store, and decide what content leaves your process with trace privacy controls. Exclude customer data, tokens, and internal hosts from test traces and screenshots.
