+# agent-observability-trace-cli (npm wrapper)
+
+An npm-installable wrapper for [`agent-trace`](https://github.com/RudrenduPaul/agent-observability), the deterministic record/replay tool for LLM agents. This package does not reimplement `agent-trace`. It puts the real `agent-trace` command on your PATH through `npm install`/`npx`, then forwards every argument straight through to the actual Python CLI.
+
+## What agent-trace does
+
+`agent-trace` records every HTTP request and response your agent makes, verbatim, to a local SQLite fixture, then replays those exact bytes later with zero network calls. It patches `httpx.Client`, `httpx.AsyncClient`, and `requests.Session` at the transport layer, so it works with any Python HTTP client, including the clients used internally by the OpenAI Python SDK and the Anthropic SDK. The project's own benchmark suite (`benchmarks/test_overhead.py`, `benchmarks/test_replay_vs_live.py`, `benchmarks/test_fidelity.py` in the main repo) reports 0.011% recording overhead, 0.93ms mean replay latency, and byte-for-byte replay fidelity, at $0 API cost per replay.
+
+## Why this wrapper exists
+
+`agent-trace` is a Python tool. If your team, CI pipeline, or agent harness already reaches for `npx` to run CLIs, this wrapper skips the "how do I invoke a Python tool from a Node-first workflow" step. It is a thin exec-and-forward shim, nothing more: the actual record/replay engine, interceptors, and CLI logic all live in the `agent_trace` Python package.
+
+## Prerequisites
+
+- Python 3.10 or newer
+- The [`agent-observability-trace-cli`](https://pypi.org/project/agent-observability-trace-cli/) PyPI package installed on the same machine (its console command is `agent-trace`):
+
+```bash
+pip install agent-observability-trace-cli
+# or
+uv add agent-observability-trace-cli
+# or, for an isolated global install
+pipx install agent-observability-trace-cli
+```
+
+Without that package installed, this wrapper prints install instructions and exits non-zero. It never installs anything on your behalf.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+npm install -g agent-observability-trace-cli
+# or run without installing
+npx agent-observability-trace-cli version
+```
+
+## Usage
+
+Once installed, `agent-trace` on your PATH is this wrapper, and every subcommand is forwarded unchanged to the real CLI:
+
+```bash
+agent-trace version
+agent-trace list
+agent-trace show run_abc123def456
+agent-trace show run_abc123def456 --errors-only
+agent-trace replay run_abc123def456
+agent-trace inspect run_abc123def456
+agent-trace diff run_a run_b
+agent-trace run -- langgraph dev
+```
+
+A recording/replay round trip in Python, using the underlying library directly:
+
+```python
+from agent_trace import tracer
+import httpx
+
+@tracer.instrument(record=True)
+def fetch_data(query: str) -> dict:
+    with tracer.span("http-call") as span:
+        resp = httpx.get("https://httpbin.org/get", params={"q": query})
+        span.set_attribute("http.status_code", resp.status_code)
+        return resp.json()
+
+result = fetch_data("hello")
+# Trace and fixture saved to ~/.agent-trace/runs/run_<id>/
+```
+
+Full command reference, the record/replay model, and framework integrations (LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, CrewAI, and more) are documented in the [main repository](https://github.com/RudrenduPaul/agent-observability).
+
+## How it works
+
+The `agent-trace` bin script this package installs does two things, in order:
+
+1. Looks for a real `agent-trace` executable on your PATH (the console script `pip`/`uv`/`pipx` installs) and execs it with your arguments.
+2. If that isn't found, falls back to invoking the `agent_trace` Python module directly through `python3`/`python`.
+
+If neither is available, it prints the install instructions above and exits with a non-zero status.
+
+## How it compares
+
+Most observability tools for LLM agents, including LangSmith, Langfuse, Helicone, and OpenLLMetry, are observe-only: they show you a trace of what happened, but reproducing a failure still means re-running the full agent against live APIs. `agent-trace` additionally lets you reproduce that exact run offline, deterministically, without touching the live API.
+
+The closest built-in comparison is LangSmith's `LANGSMITH_TEST_CACHE` (VCR-style cassettes via `langsmith[vcr]`). It's Python plus LangChain only, captures HTTP calls to `api.openai.com` specifically rather than any HTTP client, doesn't record full wire-level bytes, and requires a LangSmith account. `agent-trace` works with any Python HTTP client, records full request and response bytes locally, and needs no account or hosted service.
+
+The full capability table against LangSmith, Langfuse, Helicone, and OpenLLMetry lives in the [main repository's README](https://github.com/RudrenduPaul/agent-observability#how-agent-observability-compares).
+
+## Known limitations
+
+This wrapper only forwards arguments; the limitations below belong to `agent-trace` itself (documented in full in the main repo's README):
+
+- Recording and replay happen inside the Python process you import `agent_trace` into. It cannot observe or replay calls made by a third-party hosted service you don't run yourself, only your own process's outbound calls.
+- gRPC coverage is partial: unary-unary and sync unary-stream calls (used by Gemini/Vertex AI) are captured and replayed, but client-streaming, bidirectional-streaming, and any `grpc.aio` streaming call are not.
+- Capture starts once a fully-constructed HTTP request object reaches the interceptor. Exceptions raised earlier, while an SDK is still serializing a tool schema or building headers, produce zero fixture rows unless a wired-in framework integration's own error callback catches them first.
+
+## FAQ
+
+**Does this package reimplement `agent-trace` in JavaScript?**
+
+No. It is a thin wrapper. The `bin/agent-trace.js` script it installs execs the real `agent-trace` console script if it finds one on your PATH, or falls back to invoking the `agent_trace` Python module through `python3`/`python`. All record/replay logic, HTTP interceptors, and CLI commands live in the Python package.
+
+**Why would I install a Node wrapper for a Python tool?**
+
+If your team already standardizes on `npx`/`npm` to run CLIs, whether in local scripts, CI steps, or agent tooling, this lets `agent-trace` slot into that same invocation pattern without a separate "activate a Python environment first" step. You still need the Python package installed; this wrapper does not remove that dependency.
+
+**What do I need installed before this works?**
+
+Python 3.10 or newer, plus the `agent-observability-trace-cli` PyPI package (`pip install agent-observability-trace-cli`, `uv add agent-observability-trace-cli`, or `pipx install agent-observability-trace-cli`). This npm package alone does nothing useful without it.
+
+**What happens if I run `agent-trace` through this wrapper without the Python package installed?**
+
+The wrapper tries the real console script first, then falls back to a direct Python module import. If both fail, it prints the exact `pip`/`uv`/`pipx` install commands above and exits with a non-zero status. It never installs anything automatically.
+
+**Which commands does this wrapper support?**
+
+All of them, unmodified. Every argument you pass to `agent-trace` through this wrapper is forwarded verbatim to the real CLI, so `agent-trace version`, `agent-trace list`, `agent-trace show <run-id>`, `agent-trace replay <run-id>`, `agent-trace inspect <run-id>`, `agent-trace diff <run-a> <run-b>`, and `agent-trace run -- <command>` all work exactly as documented in the main repository.
+
+**How is this different from LangSmith's tracing/caching?**
+
+LangSmith's `LANGSMITH_TEST_CACHE` needs LangChain and a LangSmith account, and only captures calls to `api.openai.com`. `agent-trace` works with any Python HTTP client (`httpx`, `requests`, and the transports used inside the OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs), records full request/response bytes locally, and needs no account. See the comparison table in the main repository for the full breakdown against LangSmith, Langfuse, Helicone, and OpenLLMetry.
+
+**Does this wrapper work on Windows?**
+
+The wrapper itself is plain Node.js and has no OS-specific code. Whether the underlying `agent-trace` Python package works on your platform depends on that package's own support, documented in the main repository; its automated CI currently runs on Ubuntu only.
+
+**Is it safe to commit recorded fixtures to version control?**
+
+Not by default, and this is a property of `agent-trace` itself, not this wrapper. Fixture files can contain full HTTP request and response bodies, including API keys and prompt contents. See the main repository's README for guidance on `.gitignore` entries and redacting secrets before committing a fixture.
+
+**Is this free to use commercially?**
+
+Yes. Both this npm package and the underlying `agent-observability-trace-cli` PyPI package are Apache 2.0 licensed, which permits commercial use, modification, and redistribution, subject to the license's attribution and notice terms.
