What Traceloop does
Traceloop uses OpenTelemetry to monitor and trace LLM applications. Instrumentation is either the OpenLLMetry SDK installed in the application or Traceloop Hub, a proxy that LLM calls are routed through.
Why teams reach for it: Detect LLM quality regressions and production failures before users encounter them.
Worth knowing
It observes from the agent developer perspective, runs evaluations.

How will you trace quality and operations?
Observability & evaluation tools track how well an MCP server is performing and help catch issues once it's live.
