+# agent-trace
+
+`strace` for AI agents.
+
+Capture every tool call, LLM request, and decision point. Replay the session later. See what the agent did, in what order, and how long each step took.
+
+We have `strace` for syscalls. We have `tcpdump` for packets. We have nothing for agent tool calls. This fills that gap.
+
+## Why
+
+When a coding agent rewrites 20 files in a background session, you get a pull request. You don't get the story of how it got there. Which files did it read first? What context was in the window when it decided to change the approach? Why did it call the same tool three times?
+
+LangSmith traces LLM calls. That's one layer. The gap is everything around it: tool calls, file operations, decision points, error recovery. `agent-strace` captures the full picture.
+
+## Install
+
+```bash
+# With uv (recommended)
+uv tool install agent-strace
+
+# Or with pip
+pip install agent-strace
+
+# Or run without installing
+uvx agent-strace replay
+```
+
+**Zero dependencies.** Python 3.10+ standard library only.
+
+## Quick start
+
+### Option 1: MCP proxy
+
+Wrap any MCP server. Every message between agent and server is captured.
+
+```bash
+# Record a session
+agent-strace record -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /tmp
+
+# List recorded sessions
+agent-strace list
+
+# Replay the last session
+agent-strace replay
+
+# Replay a specific session (prefix match works)
+agent-strace replay a84664
+```
+
+### Option 2: Python decorator
+
+Wrap your tool functions. No MCP required.
+
+```python
+from agent_trace import trace_tool, trace_llm_call, start_session, end_session, log_decision
+
+start_session(name="my-agent")
+
+@trace_tool
+def search_codebase(query: str) -> str:
+    return search(query)
+
+@trace_llm_call
+def call_llm(messages: list, model: str = "claude-4") -> str:
+    return client.chat(messages=messages, model=model)
+
+# Log decision points explicitly
+log_decision(
+    choice="read_file_first",
+    reason="Need to understand current implementation before making changes",
+    alternatives=["read_file_first", "search_codebase", "write_fix_directly"],
+)
+
+search_codebase("authenticate")
+call_llm([{"role": "user", "content": "Fix the bug"}])
+
+meta = end_session()
+print(f"Replay with: agent-strace replay {meta.session_id}")
+```
+
+## CLI commands
+
+```
+agent-strace record -- <command>    Record an MCP server session
+agent-strace replay [session-id]    Replay a session (default: latest)
+agent-strace list                   List all sessions
+agent-strace stats [session-id]     Show tool call frequency and timing
+agent-strace inspect <session-id>   Dump full session as JSON
+agent-strace export <session-id>    Export as JSON, CSV, or NDJSON
+```
+

+
+# CSV (for spreadsheets)
+agent-strace export a84664 --format csv
+
+# NDJSON (for streaming pipelines)
+agent-strace export a84664 --format ndjson
+```
+
+## Trace format
+
+Traces are stored as directories in `.agent-traces/`:
+
+```
+.agent-traces/
+  a84664242afa4516/
+    meta.json        # session metadata
+    events.ndjson    # newline-delimited JSON events
+```
+
+Each event is a single JSON line:
+
+```json
+{
+  "event_type": "tool_call",
+  "timestamp": 1773562735.09,
+  "event_id": "bf1207728ee6",
+  "session_id": "a84664242afa4516",
+  "data": {
+    "tool_name": "read_file",
+    "arguments": {"path": "src/auth.py"}
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Event types
+
+| Type | Description |
+|------|-------------|
+| `session_start` | Trace session began |
+| `session_end` | Trace session ended |
+| `tool_call` | Agent invoked a tool |
+| `tool_result` | Tool returned a result |
+| `llm_request` | Agent sent a prompt to an LLM |
+| `llm_response` | LLM returned a completion |
+| `file_read` | Agent read a file |
+| `file_write` | Agent wrote a file |
+| `decision` | Agent chose between alternatives |
+| `error` | Something failed |
+
+Events link to each other. A `tool_result` has a `parent_id` pointing to its `tool_call`. This lets you measure latency per tool and trace the full call chain.
+
+## Use with Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf
+
+agent-strace works with any tool that launches MCP servers. The idea is simple: instead of launching the MCP server directly, launch it through `agent-strace record`. The agent and server don't know the proxy exists.
+
+### Claude Code
+
+```bash
+# Instead of:
+claude mcp add filesystem -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /tmp
+
+# Use:
+claude mcp add filesystem -- agent-strace record --name filesystem -- npx -y @modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem /tmp
+```
+
+Or edit `.claude/mcp.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "filesystem": {
+      "command": "agent-strace",
+      "args": ["record", "--name", "filesystem", "--", "npx", "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/tmp"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Cursor
+
+Edit `~/.cursor/mcp.json` (global) or `.cursor/mcp.json` (per-project):
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "filesystem": {
+      "command": "agent-strace",
+      "args": ["record", "--name", "filesystem", "--", "npx", "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/tmp"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Windsurf
+
+Edit `~/.codeium/windsurf/mcp_config.json`:
+
+```json
+{
+  "mcpServers": {
+    "filesystem": {
+      "command": "agent-strace",
+      "args": ["record", "--name", "filesystem", "--", "npx", "-y", "@modelcontextprotocol/server-filesystem", "/tmp"]
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+### Any MCP client
+
+The pattern is the same for any tool that uses MCP over stdio:
+
+1. Replace the server `command` with `agent-strace`
+2. Prepend `record --name <label> --` to the original args
+3. Use the tool normally
+4. Run `agent-strace replay` to see what happened
+
+See the [examples/](examples/) directory for full config files.
+
+## How it works
+
+### MCP proxy mode
+
+```
+Agent ←→ agent-strace proxy ←→ MCP Server
+              ↓
+         .agent-traces/
+```
+
+The proxy reads JSON-RPC messages (Content-Length framed, like LSP), classifies each message as a tool call, result, error, or notification, and writes a trace event. The message is forwarded unchanged. The agent and server don't know the proxy exists.
+
+### Decorator mode
+
+```python
+@trace_tool
+def my_function(x):
+    return x * 2
+```
+
+The decorator wraps the function call. It logs a `tool_call` event before execution and a `tool_result` event after. If the function raises, it logs an `error` event. Timing is captured automatically.
