1622The Claude API and the SDK can trace your Messages API requests, tool uses, and Managed Agents sessions with [OpenTelemetry](https://opentelemetry.io/) (OTel). You can view these traces in the observability platform you already have. Use them to debug failed or slow requests, track token spend and latency, and build evals from real traffic. You can also see each request inside your application's own traces, linked to the user or feature that sent it.

1824OpenTelemetry is a vendor-neutral standard that most observability platforms support. A *trace* is the full record of one request through your system. A *span* is one step in a trace, such as a model request or a tool use. The API and the SDK use attributes from the [GenAI semantic conventions](https://github.com/open-telemetry/semantic-conventions-genai), so platforms that support the conventions can recognize the spans without extra setup.
