Execution Traces

Exporting Traces

Prepare trace data for sharing, reviews, or offline analysis.

Overview

Execution traces are the trust layer. They show what the orchestrator decided, what the supervisor did, and whether the outcome was verified or just plausible.

Operator Note

Overseer works best when each layer stays explicit: the orchestrator routes, supervisors execute, tools return evidence, and traces show what actually happened.

Getting Started

Open a conversation or workflow run after execution and read the trace before you trust the summary.

Configuration

Use traces to tighten prompts, reduce tool sprawl, and catch places where the system is succeeding without enough evidence.

Examples

trace-event.json

{
  "event": "supervisor_result",
  "status": "completed",
  "verified": true,
  "evidence": ["tool output stored", "summary grounded in execution"],
  "artifacts": []
}
