  Span clauses examine the current root span and current child spans. The root `timeRange` applies only to the selected current root's `startedAt`.

- ## Query traces with the CLI
50
-
51
- Pass the query as one JSON argument to `mastra api trace query`. Filters and pagination options belong in the JSON input. This command runs the same failed-tool query as the SDK example:
52
-
53
- ```bash
54
- mastra api --url http://localhost:4111 trace query '{
55
- "timeRange": {
56
- "from": "2026-08-01T00:00:00.000Z",
57

71
- "page": { "limit": 25 }
72
- }'
73
- ```
74
-
75
- The explicit `--url` targets a local Mastra server. Without it, observability commands default to `https://observability.mastra.ai`, even when a local server is running. See [CLI target resolution](https://mastra.ai/reference/cli/mastra) for authentication and regional endpoints. The target server and configured store must support the requested query capabilities.
76
-
77
- Inspect the command with:
78
-
79
- ```bash
80
- mastra api trace query --help
81
- ```
82
-
83
- For a local Mastra server, inspect its request and response schemas with:
84
-
85
- ```bash
86
- mastra api --url http://localhost:4111 trace query --schema
87
- ```
88
-
89
- Mastra Platform doesn't currently expose the schema endpoint used by `--schema`. Use [Request fields](#request-fields) and [Fields and operators](#fields-and-operators) to construct queries for either target. To find fields and values recorded in your project, use [field and value discovery](#discover-fields-and-values).

- | `page.limit` | 1,000 |
150
- | HTTP request body | 256 KiB |
151
-
152
- Each comparison literal counts as one literal. Each member of an `in` or `notIn` set also counts as one literal, even when the set is within its per-set limit.
153
-
154
- Hono and Fastify enforce the request-body limit before JSON parsing. Express and Elysia reject an oversized body before the route handler or storage runs, but the host framework may already have parsed a request without a reliable `Content-Length` header. Configure the host application's JSON parser or body limit when you need a hard pre-parse memory ceiling.

  Compose predicates with `{ op: 'and', args: [...] }`, `{ op: 'or', args: [...] }`, and `{ op: 'not', arg: ... }`. Comparison predicates place a field reference on the left and a literal on the right. Membership predicates use a field reference in `value` and a homogeneous literal array in `set`. Tag predicates name the stored tag collection in `path`. `includes` and `notIncludes` also take one tag in `value`, while `exists` and `notExists` take only `op` and `path`. See [Filter by tags](#filter-by-tags). Text predicates use the comparison shape with a string literal. See [Filter by text](#filter-by-text).

A missing value satisfies neither positive nor ordered predicates, although it does satisfy the negative operators `ne` and `notIn`.

128

129
+ The value is `null` when the span didn't stream a chunk, for example a tool call or a workflow run. A `null` value counts as missing, so it matches `notExists` and never matches ordered predicates.

+ Each comparison literal counts as one literal. Each member of an `in` or `notIn` set also counts as one literal, even when the set is within its per-set limit.
329
+
330
+ Hono and Fastify enforce the request-body limit before JSON parsing. Express and Elysia reject an oversized body before the route handler or storage runs, but the host framework may already have parsed a request without a reliable `Content-Length` header. Configure the host application's JSON parser or body limit when you need a hard pre-parse memory ceiling.
331
+
332
+ ## Query traces
333
+
334
+ Use `queryTraces()`, `mastra api trace query`, or `POST /api/observability/traces/query` to list the selected traces. All three accept the same request, which adds ordering and pagination to the [trace selection](#select-traces).
335
+
336
+ ### Query traces with the client SDK
337
+
338
+ This query finds traces containing a tool call with an error:
339
+
340
+ ```typescript
341
+ import { MastraClient } from '@mastra/client-js'
342
+
343
+ const mastraClient = new MastraClient({ baseUrl: 'http://localhost:4111' })
344
+
345
+ const result = await mastraClient.queryTraces({
346
+ timeRange: {
347
+ from: '2026-08-01T00:00:00.000Z',
348
+ to: '2026-08-08T00:00:00.000Z',
349
+ },
350
+ where: {
351
+ spans: {
352
+ some: {
353
+ op: 'and',
354
+ args: [
355
+ { op: 'eq', left: { path: 'spanType' }, right: { literal: 'tool_call' } },
356
+ { op: 'exists', path: 'error' },
357
+ ],
358
+ },
359
+ },
360
+ },
361
+ orderBy: [{ field: 'startedAt', direction: 'desc' }],
362
+ page: { limit: 25 },
363
+ })
364
+ ```
365
+
366
+ ### Query traces with the CLI
367
+
368
+ Pass the query as one JSON argument to `mastra api trace query`. Filters and pagination options belong in the JSON input. This command runs the same failed-tool query as the SDK example:
369
+
370
+ ```bash
371
+ mastra api --url http://localhost:4111 trace query '{
372
+ "timeRange": {
373
+ "from": "2026-08-01T00:00:00.000Z",
374
+ "to": "2026-08-08T00:00:00.000Z"
375
+ },
376
+ "where": {
377
+ "spans": {
378
+ "some": {
379
+ "op": "and",
380
+ "args": [
381
+ { "op": "eq", "left": { "path": "spanType" }, "right": { "literal": "tool_call" } },
382
+ { "op": "exists", "path": "error" }
383
+ ]
384
+ }
385
+ }
386
+ },
387
+ "orderBy": [{ "field": "startedAt", "direction": "desc" }],
388
+ "page": { "limit": 25 }
389
+ }'
390
+ ```
391
+
392
+ The explicit `--url` targets a local Mastra server. Without it, observability commands default to `https://observability.mastra.ai`, even when a local server is running. See [CLI target resolution](https://mastra.ai/reference/cli/mastra) for authentication and regional endpoints. The target server and configured store must support the requested query capabilities.
393
+
394
+ Inspect the command with:
395
+
396
+ ```bash
397
+ mastra api trace query --help
398
+ ```
399
+
400
+ For a local Mastra server, inspect its request and response schemas with:
401
+
402
+ ```bash
403
+ mastra api --url http://localhost:4111 trace query --schema
404
+ ```
405
+
406
+ Mastra Platform doesn't currently expose the schema endpoint used by `--schema`. Use [Request fields](#request-fields) and [Fields and operators](#fields-and-operators) to construct queries for either target. To find fields and values recorded in your project, use [field and value discovery](#discover-fields-and-values).
407
+
408
+ ### Send an HTTP request

- ### Trusted tenant scope
486
-
487
- Hosts that serve more than one tenant supply a trusted scope outside the query document. The server reads the reserved `organizationId` request-context key, which only server-side authentication can set, and passes `{ organizationId }` to the planner. The scope is carried on the trusted plan and ANDed into every scan: current roots, related spans and both discovery routes. A related record from another tenant that shares a `traceId` never qualifies a trace.
488
-
489
- Hosts that call storage directly can pass a fuller scope to `planTraceQuery()`, `planTraceQueryObservedFields()`, and `planTraceQueryValues()`:
490
-
491
- ```typescript
492
- const plan = planTraceQuery(parseTraceQueryRequest(request), {
493
- scope: { organizationId: 'org_123', resourceId: 'project_456' },
494
- })
495
- ```
496
-
497
- `resourceId` is optional and narrows within the organization. Keyset and delta cursors are bound to the scope. A cursor created under one scope and reused under another returns `409` before storage runs. A scoped request against an observability store or `@mastra/core` that predates tenant scope returns `501` instead of running unscoped. Stores advertise support through the `trace-query-tenant-scope` feature. Callers can't name `projectId` in predicates. An `organizationId` predicate compares recorded data and is ANDed with the scope, so it can only narrow the tenant's own traces and never widens it. Without a scope the routes behave as before, so self-hosted installations keep their own tenant model.

+ | Field | Required | Description |
644
+ | ----------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
645
+ | `timeRange` | Yes | Trace start-time boundary, as in [Select traces](#select-traces). The range can span up to 365 days. |
646
+ | `where` | No | Trace predicate, as in [Select traces](#select-traces). |

651

652
+ | `limit` | No | Maximum number of groups. Defaults to 100 and has a maximum of 1,000. |
653

654
+ Unknown fields are rejected. Aggregation isn't paginated. Narrow the selection, or rank by a different measure, when `truncated` is `true`.
655
+
656
+ ### Dimensions
657
+
658
+ Dimensions read the current root span of each selected trace:
659
+
660
+ | Dimension | Notes |
661
+ | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
662
+ | `entityType`, `entityName`, `environment`, `status`, `serviceName`, `executionSource` | Root span attributes. |
663
+ | `threadId`, `resourceId`, `userId`, `sessionId`, `organizationId`, `experimentId` | Context identifiers recorded on the root span. |
664
+ | `name`, `spanType` | Root span name and type. Requires the `traceQueryRootSpanFields` capability. |
665
+ | `metadata.<key>` | One non-empty top-level metadata key. Values are trimmed. Missing, empty, and non-string values group as `null`. |
666
+
667
+ Every dimension except `serviceName`, `executionSource`, and `experimentId` is also a trace-scope `where` field, so you can drill into a group by adding its values to the predicate. `traceId`, `spanId`, `runId`, and `requestId` aren't groupable. Traces with no value for a dimension form their own group with a `null` value.
668
+
669
+ ### Measures
670
+
671
+ | Measure | Value |
672
+ | -------------------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
673
+ | `count` | Number of selected traces. |
674
+ | `countDistinct.<field>` | Number of distinct non-null values of a dimension or `traceId`, such as `countDistinct.userId`. |
675
+ | `duration.avg`, `duration.min`, `duration.max` | Root span duration in milliseconds. |
676
+ | `duration.p50`, `duration.p90`, `duration.p95`, `duration.p99` | Root span duration percentile in milliseconds. Percentiles can be approximate, depending on the store. |
677
+ | `errorCount` | Number of traces whose root span recorded an error. |
678
+ | `errorRate` | `errorCount` divided by `count`, from 0 to 1. |
679
+ | `tokens.input.sum`, `tokens.input.avg` | Input tokens. |
680
+ | `tokens.output.sum`, `tokens.output.avg` | Output tokens. |
681
+ | `tokens.total.sum`, `tokens.total.avg` | Input plus output tokens. |
682
+ | `tokens.reasoning.sum`, `tokens.reasoning.avg` | Reasoning output tokens. |
683
+ | `tokens.cached.sum`, `tokens.cached.avg` | Input tokens read from the provider's cache. |
684
+ | `cost.sum`, `cost.avg` | Estimated model cost. |
685
+
686
+ Numeric measures over metadata aren't supported.
687
+
688
+ #### Token and cost measures
689
+
690
+ Token and cost measures read the model usage metrics recorded for each trace, so they're only available when the store retains metrics for the selected time range. A metric belongs to a trace when it shares the trace's `traceId` and was recorded at or after `timeRange.from`. Every such metric counts, including usage recorded after `timeRange.to` and usage recorded before a suspend and resume. Retried metric exports are counted once.
691
+
692
+ A trace that recorded at least one usage metric is usage-bearing. `tokens.<kind>.sum` adds the tokens of a group's usage-bearing traces, and `tokens.<kind>.avg` divides that sum by the number of usage-bearing traces, not by `count`. Both are `null` when the group has no usage-bearing traces.
693
+
694
+ Cost comes from estimated cost recorded on total input and total output token metrics. `cost.sum` adds the cost of traces with at least one priced metric, and `cost.avg` divides by the number of those traces. A metric whose pricing failed, including a partial cost, isn't priced.
695
+
696
+ When you request any `cost.*` measure, every row also includes a `cost` object:
697
+
698
+ | Field | Description |
699
+ | ---------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ |
700
+ | `coverage` | Fraction of usage-bearing traces whose usage was fully priced, from 0 to 1. `null` when the group has no usage-bearing traces. |
701
+ | `unit` | Cost unit of the priced metrics, such as `USD`. `'mixed'` when they use more than one unit, and `null` when none are priced. |
702
+
703
+ `cost.sum` and `cost.avg` are `null` when the group has no priced traces or `unit` is `'mixed'`. A coverage below 1 means the cost understates the group's spend. The `cost` object isn't a measure, so `having` and `orderBy` can't reference it.
704
+
705
+ ### Filter and order groups
706
+
707
+ A group is one distinct combination of `groupBy` values. `having`, `orderBy`, and `limit` operate on groups and use each group's measures over the whole time range, even when `interval` is set. The server applies `having` first, then orders the remaining groups and keeps the first `limit`. `truncated` is `true` when more groups remained than `limit`.
708
+
709
+ `having` uses the scalar predicate shape with a measure name as the path, such as `{ op: 'gt', left: { path: 'duration.p95' }, right: { literal: 5000 } }`. It can reference requested measures and `count`, even when `count` isn't requested. It supports comparison operators, `in`, and `notIn` with number literals, combined with `and`, `or`, and `not`. Presence, tag, and text operators aren't supported. A `null` measure never satisfies a `having` comparison, so the group is removed.

+ Ordering is deterministic. Ties are broken by dimension values in ascending order. `null` measure and dimension values sort last in both directions.
728
+
729
+ ### Time buckets
730
+
731
+ With `interval`, each group that survives `having` and `limit` expands into one row per non-empty bucket. Buckets are aligned to UTC, so `1d` buckets start at midnight UTC, and each row's `bucket` is the ISO start time of its bucket. A trace belongs to the bucket containing its root `startedAt`. Rows are ordered by group, then by `bucket` ascending.
732
+
733
+ Buckets without traces are omitted rather than returned as zero rows. Fill gaps on the client when you draw a chart. Because groups are ranked over the whole time range first, every returned group includes its full series of non-empty buckets.

785
+ Predicate limits from [Query limits](#query-limits) apply to both `where` and `having`, and the request body is limited to 256 KiB. A time range that doesn't start on a bucket boundary touches one more bucket than its length divided by the interval. If the range has too many buckets, choose a wider `interval`. If `limit` × buckets exceeds 10,000, reduce `limit` or widen the interval.

+ ## Trusted tenant scope
798
+
799
+ Hosts that serve more than one tenant supply a trusted scope outside the query document. The server reads the reserved `organizationId` request-context key, which only server-side authentication can set, and passes `{ organizationId }` to the planner. The scope is carried on the trusted plan and ANDed into every scan: current roots, related spans, the usage metrics read by token and cost measures, and both discovery routes. A related record from another tenant that shares a `traceId` never qualifies a trace.
800
+
801
+ Hosts that call storage directly can pass a fuller scope to `planTraceQuery()`, `planTraceAggregate()`, `planTraceQueryObservedFields()`, and `planTraceQueryValues()`:
802
+
803
+ ```typescript
804
+ const plan = planTraceQuery(parseTraceQueryRequest(request), {
805
+ scope: { organizationId: 'org_123', resourceId: 'project_456' },
806
+ })
807
+ ```
808
+
809
+ `resourceId` is optional and narrows within the organization. Keyset and delta cursors are bound to the scope. A cursor created under one scope and reused under another returns `409` before storage runs. A scoped request against an observability store or `@mastra/core` that predates tenant scope returns `501` instead of running unscoped. Stores advertise support through the `trace-query-tenant-scope` feature. Callers can't name `projectId` in predicates. An `organizationId` predicate compares recorded data and is ANDed with the scope, so it can only narrow the tenant's own traces and never widens it. Without a scope the routes behave as before, so self-hosted installations keep their own tenant model.
