Hierarchical Traces. Capture every LLM call, tool invocation and retrieval step with filters for user, session, cost and latency.
Prompt Management. Version, fetch, release and cache prompts separately from code with one-click deployments.
Evaluation Engine. Run LLM-as-judge, heuristic or human-review evaluations on production data or experiments.
Experiments & Datasets. Define test cases, run experiments and create golden datasets for continuous improvement.
Dashboards & Alerts. Monitor cost, latency and quality via custom dashboards and automated alerts.
Human Annotation. Collaborative human-in-the-loop workflows with annotation queues.
Extensive Integrations. Supports Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, .NET, Ruby, PHP, Swift and 100+ agent frameworks and model providers.
Self-hosted & Cloud Options. Available as hosted SaaS or self-hosted under MIT license.

First-class budget enforcement. Set dollar limits per agent; stop, warn or switch models when the budget is exceeded.
Budget-aware persistent memory. Four memory types with decay, import-rank and token-cost awareness, persisting across sessions.
Isolated sandbox execution. Run LLM-generated Python, Bash or JavaScript in subprocesses with timeouts and no shared state.
72+ lifecycle hooks. Typed events fire on every LLM request, tool call, memory read, sandbox exec, etc., for observability.
Built-in guardrails. PII redaction, prompt-injection detection, content filtering, fact verification and output length limits.
Multi-agent orchestration. Swarm topologies and recursive sub-agent spawning share budget, memory and observability.
Agent identity & signing. Each agent has a cryptographic Ed25519 identity; messages are signed to prevent impersonation.
Token-Oriented Object Notation (TOON). Compact schema format reduces token usage on tool calls by ~40%.
