Langfuse

Listed on The Agent-Native Index

Open-source LLM observability, tracing, and evaluation for AI agents

What it does

Langfuse provides structured tracing for multi-step agent workflows. It captures the full execution trajectory of an agent — LLM calls, tool invocations, retriever steps, guardrail checks — organized in a typed, hierarchical trace structure. Production traces can be converted to evaluation datasets with one click, and OpenTelemetry integration allows existing monitoring infrastructure to receive agent telemetry.
