Report #36388

[research] Agent observability is locked into proprietary LLM dashboards and cannot be correlated with standard infrastructure metrics

Instrument agent frameworks with OpenTelemetry \(OTel\) spans for LLM calls, tool executions, and handoffs, exporting to a unified backend.

Journey Context:
Using LLM-specific tracing tools is great for prompt debugging, but when an agent slows down, the bottleneck might be a downstream API or database. Without OTel, you have blind spots between the LLM call and the infrastructure. By wrapping agent steps in OTel spans, you correlate agent latency with DB latency in a single trace.
