WrapAISDKOptions

wrapAISDK

Wraps Vercel AI SDK methods with Braintrust tracing.

WrapAISDKOptions

wrapAISDKModel

Wrap an ai-sdk model (created with .chat(), .completion(), etc.) to add tracing. If Braintrust is not configured, this is a no-op

wrapAnthropic

Wrap an Anthropic object (created with new Anthropic(...)) so calls emit tracing-channel events that Braintrust plugins can consume. Currently, this only supports the v4 API.

wrapClaudeAgentSDK

Wraps the Claude Agent SDK with Braintrust tracing. Query calls only publish tracing-channel events; the Claude Agent SDK plugin owns all span lifecycle work, including root/task spans, LLM spans, tool spans, and sub-agent spans.

The Claude Agent SDK module

wrapCohere

Wrap a Cohere client so method calls emit diagnostics-channel events that Braintrust plugins can consume.

wrapCopilotClient

Wrap a CopilotClient instance (created with new CopilotClient(...)) with Braintrust tracing. The wrapper intercepts createSession and resumeSession so that the same plugin logic used by auto-instrumentation applies — session spans, turn spans, LLM spans with token metrics, and tool spans are all produced.

wrapCursorSDK

Wraps the Cursor TypeScript SDK with Braintrust tracing. The wrapper emits diagnostics-channel events; the Cursor SDK plugin owns span lifecycle.

wrapFlueContext

Wraps a Flue context with Braintrust tracing. Context wrapping subscribes to Flue’s event stream and patches ctx.init() so returned harness sessions emit operation diagnostics-channel events.

wrapFlueSession

Wraps a Flue session with Braintrust tracing. Direct session wrapping traces top-level prompt/skill/task/compact calls. Event-derived child spans require context instrumentation through wrapFlueContext() or auto-instrumentation.

wrapGenkit

Wrap a Genkit instance or module so Genkit calls emit diagnostics-channel events that Braintrust plugins can consume. This supports both:

const ai = wrapGenkit(genkit({ ... }))
wrapping the module namespace and then calling its genkit factory

wrapGoogleADK

Wrap a Google ADK module (imported with import * as adk from '@google/adk') to add tracing. If Braintrust is not configured, nothing will be traced. This wraps:

Runner.runAsync / InMemoryRunner.runAsync — top-level agent execution
BaseAgent.runAsync (and all subclasses) — individual agent invocations
BaseTool.runAsync / FunctionTool.runAsync — tool execution

LLM calls are already traced via the existing @google/genai instrumentation, since ADK uses GenAI internally.

The Google ADK module

wrapGoogleGenAI

Wrap a Google GenAI module (imported with import * as googleGenAI from '@google/genai') to add tracing. If Braintrust is not configured, nothing will be traced.

The Google GenAI module

wrapGroq

Wrap a Groq client (created with new Groq(...)) with Braintrust tracing.

wrapHuggingFace

Wrap a HuggingFace Inference SDK module or client with Braintrust tracing. Supports the LLM and embeddings APIs we intentionally instrument:

chatCompletion
chatCompletionStream
textGeneration
textGenerationStream
featureExtraction

HuggingFaceModule

wrapMastraAgent

wrapMastraAgent function

Object

string

wrapMistral

Wrap a Mistral client (created with new Mistral(...)) with Braintrust tracing.

wrapOpenAI

Wrap an OpenAI object (created with new OpenAI(...)) to add tracing. If Braintrust is not configured, nothing will be traced. If this is not an OpenAI object, this function is a no-op. Currently, this supports the v4, v5, and v6 API.

wrapOpenAICodexSDK

Wraps the OpenAI Codex TypeScript SDK with Braintrust tracing. The wrapper emits diagnostics-channel events; the OpenAI Codex plugin owns span lifecycle.

wrapOpenAIv4

wrapOpenAIv4 function

wrapOpenRouter

Wrap an OpenRouter client (created with new OpenRouter(...)) so calls emit diagnostics-channel events that Braintrust plugins can consume.

wrapOpenRouterAgent

Wrap an @openrouter/agent OpenRouter client so callModel() emits diagnostics-channel events consumed by the OpenRouter Agent plugin.

wrapTraced

Wrap a function with traced, using the arguments as input and return value as output. Any functions wrapped this way will automatically be traced, similar to the @traced decorator in Python. If you want to correctly propagate the function’s name and define it in one go, then you can do so like this:

const myFunc = wrapTraced(async function myFunc(input) {
 const result = await client.chat.completions.create({
   model: "gpt-3.5-turbo",
   messages: [{ role: "user", content: input }],
 });
 return result.choices[0].message.content ?? "unknown";
},
// Optional: if you're using a framework like NextJS that minifies your code, specify the function name and it will be used for the span name
{ name: "myFunc" },
);

Now, any calls to myFunc will be traced, and the input and output will be logged automatically. If tracing is inactive, i.e. there is no active logger or experiment, it’s just a no-op.

The function to wrap.

unknown

Dataset

A dataset is a collection of records, such as model inputs and expected outputs, which represent data you can use to evaluate and fine-tune models. You can log production data to datasets, curate them with interesting examples, edit/delete records, and run evaluations against them. You should not create Dataset objects directly. Instead, use the braintrust.initDataset() method. Properties

unknown

Methods [asyncIterator](), clearCache(), close(), createSnapshot(), delete(), deleteSnapshot(), fetch(), fetchedData(), flush(), getInternalBtql(), getPinnedVersion(), getSnapshot(), getState(), insert(), listSnapshots(), restore(), restorePreview(), setPinnedVersion(), summarize(), toEvalData(), update(), updateSnapshot(), version(), isDataset()

Experiment

An experiment is a collection of logged events, such as model inputs and outputs, which represent a snapshot of your application at a particular point in time. An experiment is meant to capture more than just the model you use, and includes the data you use to test, pre- and post- processing code, comparison metrics (scores), and any other metadata you want to include. Experiments are associated with a project, and two experiments are meant to be easily comparable via their inputs. You can change the attributes of the experiments in a project (e.g. scoring functions) over time, simply by changing what you log. You should not create Experiment objects directly. Instead, use the braintrust.init() method. Properties

ExternalAttachment

Represents an attachment that resides in an external object store and the associated metadata. ExternalAttachment objects can be inserted anywhere in an event, similar to Attachment objects, but they reference files that already exist in an external object store rather than requiring upload. The SDK will replace the ExternalAttachment object with an AttachmentReference during logging. Properties
