AI Agent Debugging & Tracing

Debug AI Agents Like a Pro

Complete end-to-end tracing. See every LLM call, tool interaction, and decision. Find root causes in seconds, not hours.

AI agents are complex, non-deterministic, and opaque. When something goes wrong, it's hard to know where to start. Noveum.ai's complete tracing solution captures every step of an agent's execution, giving you full visibility.

The Challenge

Why Debugging AI Agents is So Hard

Traditional debugging tools (logs, metrics, profilers) were designed for deterministic software. AI agents are fundamentally different and require a different approach.

The Black Box Problem

LLMs are black boxes. You can see input and output, but not internal reasoning. When an agent produces a wrong answer, you don't know if it's a bad prompt, bad LLM response, or bad tool call.

Non-Deterministic Behavior

The same input can produce different outputs. This makes it hard to reproduce bugs and understand what went wrong. You can't just run the same input again.

Complex Workflows

Modern AI agents are complex multi-step workflows with LLM calls, tool interactions, and decision points. A single failure can be caused by any step.

Inadequate Logging

Traditional logging is insufficient. You need to see not just what happened, but why. What was the LLM's reasoning? What data did the tool return?

Average Debugging Time Without Proper Tracing

Teams without proper AI agent tracing spend hours or days trying to reproduce and debug issues that could be identified in minutes with complete visibility.

The Solution

Noveum.ai Tracing: Complete Visibility

Get complete visibility into your AI agents with hierarchical tracing that captures every operation from the initial prompt to the final output.

What Gets Traced

Every operation your agent performs is captured automatically

LLM Calls
Tool Calls
RAG Calls
API Calls
DB Queries
Custom Operations

End-to-End Tracing

Capture every step of your agent's execution with our lightweight SDK. No manual logging required.

  • Every LLM call with prompt, response, tokens, and latency
  • Every tool call with inputs, outputs, and timing
  • All API calls and database queries
  • Custom operations you define
endToEnd feature

Hierarchical Visualization

Understand the flow of execution with parent-child relationships and timeline views.

  • Parent-child relationships clearly visible
  • Timeline view shows exact sequence of events
  • Errors highlighted immediately in the trace
  • Filtering and search to find specific operations
hierarchical feature

Detailed Span Information

Click on any span to see detailed information about that specific operation.

  • Exact inputs and outputs of the operation
  • Latency and performance metrics
  • Token usage and cost for LLM calls
  • Custom attributes you added
spanDetails feature

Error Analysis

Find root causes fast with automatic error highlighting and context.

  • Failed operations highlighted in red
  • Exact error messages and stack traces
  • Full context of the failure
  • Compare failing vs successful traces

How Tracing Works

Get complete visibility into your agents in three simple steps.

01

Install the SDK

Install the Noveum.ai Python SDK with a single command.

pip install noveum-trace
02

Add Callback Handler

Add the callback handler to your LangChain LLMs for automatic tracing.

llm = ChatOpenAI(callbacks=[callback_handler])
03

View Traces

Traces flow into Noveum.ai automatically. Start exploring in the dashboard.

Real-World Applications

How Teams Use Noveum.ai Tracing

See how developers use tracing to debug and optimize their agents.

productionIssues use case

Debugging Production Issues

An agent is failing in production. View the exact trace of the failure and quickly identify the root cause without reproducing locally.

Example: A support agent gives wrong answers. The trace shows an LLM hallucination in step 3 of a 5-step workflow.

performanceOptimization use case

Performance Optimization

An agent is slow. See which operations take the most time and optimize them for better user experience.

Example: A trace shows 80% of latency is in a single tool call. Optimizing that call reduces response time by 60%.

qualityImprovement use case

Quality Improvement

An agent produces low-quality outputs. Trace execution to see where quality is degrading and fix the root cause.

Example: Poor outputs traced to context retrieval returning irrelevant documents. Fix the retrieval, fix the quality.

multiAgent use case

Multi-Agent Debugging

A complex system with multiple agents isn't working. Trace the entire workflow to see how agents are interacting.

Example: Agent A sends wrong data to Agent B. The trace shows exactly where the miscommunication happens.

Why Noveum.ai

Why Noveum.ai Tracing Stands Out

Purpose-built for AI agents, not generic software monitoring.

vs. Traditional Logging

Logs are text-based and hard to parse. You have to grep through thousands of lines to find issues.

Noveum.ai Advantage

Structured, hierarchical traces that are easy to explore and understand visually.

vs. APM Tools (Datadog, New Relic)

APM tools are designed for traditional software, not AI agents. They don't understand LLM calls or agent workflows.

Noveum.ai Advantage

AI-specific tracing with LLM insights, cost tracking, and integration with evaluation.

vs. Custom Solutions

Building your own tracing system is expensive and time-consuming. Maintenance is a constant burden.

Noveum.ai Advantage

Battle-tested, proven solution that works out of the box with any framework.

Unique Features

AI-Specific

Designed specifically for AI agents, not generic software.

Hierarchical

See the full structure of agent execution, not just flat logs.
