 * **`claude_code.tool`:** wraps each tool invocation, with child spans for the permission wait (`claude_code.tool.blocked_on_user`) and the execution itself (`claude_code.tool.execution`).
 * **`claude_code.hook`:** wraps each [hook](/docs/en/agent-sdk/hooks) execution. Requires detailed beta tracing (`ENABLE_BETA_TRACING_DETAILED=1` and `BETA_TRACING_ENDPOINT`) in addition to the variables above.
 
-The `llm_request`, `tool`, and `hook` spans are children of the enclosing `claude_code.interaction` span. When the agent spawns a subagent through the Task tool, the subagent's `llm_request` and `tool` spans nest under the parent agent's `claude_code.tool` span, so the full delegation chain appears as one trace.

 Spans carry a `session.id` attribute by default. When you make several `query()` calls against the same [session](/docs/en/agent-sdk/sessions), filter on `session.id` in your backend to see them as one timeline. Claude Code omits the attribute if you set `OTEL_METRICS_INCLUDE_SESSION_ID` to a falsy value.
