# Overview

> TraceLM is the reliability layer for AI agents: tracing, failures, loops, context-loss, and unnecessary tool-call detection

# Welcome to TraceLM

TraceLM gives you full visibility into agent behavior, not just prompt/response logs.

TraceLM is built for reliability-first observability:

* Full task timelines across traces and tool calls
* Tool-call failure visibility (explicit, semantic, silent)
* Deadlock/loop detection with severity
* Context-loss detection across conversations
* Unnecessary tool-call detection via feedback loops

## Reliability-First Workflow

<Steps>
  <Step title="Instrument">
    Route model traffic through TraceLM with an SDK or direct API calls.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Group Execution">
    Use task and conversation IDs to capture complete execution cycles end to end.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Run Detection">
    Use `task.complete()` or `/api/v1/tasks/{task_id}/detect`.
  </Step>

  <Step title="Review Reliability Signals">
    Review loops, failures, context-loss, and unnecessary-tool patterns.
  </Step>
</Steps>
