Local-first

Traces stay on disk by default. No account, no upload, and no hosted dashboard required.

What local-first means

  • Traces stay local by default
  • No account required
  • No upload by default
  • No hosted dashboard required for the core loop

JSONL on disk

Runs are persisted as JSONL files you own, typically under `.agent-inspect/` or `AGENT_INSPECT_TRACE_DIR`. You can inspect, check, redact, and attach them like any other local artifact.

Where it fits

Local debugging, CI artifacts, safe trace sharing, and adapter development. For production fleets and team dashboards, use hosted observability or OpenTelemetry — AgentInspect is complementary.
