# Semantic Conventions for GenAI agent and framework spans

**Status**: [Experimental][DocumentStatus]

<!-- Re-generate TOC with `markdown-toc --no-first-h1 -i` -->

<!-- toc -->

- [Spans](#spans)
* [Create Agent Span](#create-agent-span)
* [Execute Tool Span](#execute-tool-span)

<!-- tocstop -->

Generative AI scenarios may involve multiple steps. For example RAG pattern implementation usually involves
the following steps:

- initial request to the GenAI model to rewrite user query
- getting embeddings for the rewritten query
- searching for similar documents in the vector store using embeddings
- getting completion from the GenAI model based on the similar documents.

These steps may be done by the application itself using GenAI models and vector databases.
It's also common to leverage client framework such as [LangGraph](https://github.com/langchain-ai/langgraph)
or service offerings such as [OpenAI Assistants](https://platform.openai.com/docs/assistants),
[Azure AI Agents](TODO link), or [Amazon Bedrock Agents](https://aws.amazon.com/bedrock/agents/).

This document defines semantic conventions for GenAI agent calls that are
handled by the remote agent service.
It MAY be applicable to agent operations that are performed by the GenAI
framework locally.

The semantic conventions for GenAI agents extend and override the semantic conventions
for [Gen AI Spans](gen-ai-spans.md).

## Spans

### Create Agent Span

Describes GenAI agent creation and is usually applicable when working with remote agent
services.

The `gen_ai.operation.name` MUST be `create_agent`.

The **span name** SHOULD be `create_agent {gen_ai.agent.name}`.
Semantic conventions for individual GenAI systems and frameworks MAY specify different span name format.

**[1] `gen_ai.operation.name`:** If one of the predefined values applies, but specific system uses a different name it's RECOMMENDED to document it in the semantic conventions for specific GenAI system and use system-specific name in the instrumentation. If a different name is not documented, instrumentation libraries SHOULD use applicable predefined value.

**[2] `gen_ai.system`:** The `gen_ai.system` describes a family of GenAI models with specific model identified
by `gen_ai.request.model` and `gen_ai.response.model` attributes.

The actual GenAI product may differ from the one identified by the client.
Multiple systems, including Azure OpenAI and Gemini, are accessible by OpenAI client
libraries. In such cases, the `gen_ai.system` is set to `openai` based on the
instrumentation's best knowledge, instead of the actual system. The `server.address`
attribute may help identify the actual system in use for `openai`.

For custom model, a custom friendly name SHOULD be used.
If none of these options apply, the `gen_ai.system` SHOULD be set to `_OTHER`.

**[3] `error.type`:** The `error.type` SHOULD match the error code returned by the Generative AI provider or the client library,
the canonical name of exception that occurred, or another low-cardinality error identifier.
Instrumentations SHOULD document the list of errors they report.

**[4] `gen_ai.request.model`:** The name of the GenAI model a request is being made to. If the model is supplied by a vendor, then the value must be the exact name of the model requested. If the model is a fine-tuned custom model, the value should have a more specific name than the base model that's been fine-tuned.

**[5] `server.port`:** When observed from the client side, and when communicating through an intermediary, `server.port` SHOULD represent the server port behind any intermediaries, for example proxies, if it's available.

**[6] `gen_ai.request.encoding_formats`:** In some GenAI systems the encoding formats are called embedding types. Also, some GenAI systems only accept a single format per request.

**[7] `gen_ai.response.model`:** If available. The name of the GenAI model that provided the response. If the model is supplied by a vendor, then the value must be the exact name of the model actually used. If the model is a fine-tuned custom model, the value should have a more specific name than the base model that's been fine-tuned.

**[8] `server.address`:** When observed from the client side, and when communicating through an intermediary, `server.address` SHOULD represent the server address behind any intermediaries, for example proxies, if it's available.
