Production and cost

LLM observability

Tracing every model call with inputs, outputs, latency, tokens, cost and the user outcome.

Logs and traces show what the agent actually did, step by step, and what it cost. Joined with product analytics, they show whether the feature helps users or just runs. Privacy rules decide what content can be stored.
