AgentD

Observability for AI Agents. Open spec. Self-host or use our platform.

Drop-in replacement for claude_agent_sdk.query() that adds metrics, tracing, and cost tracking.

# Before
from claude_agent_sdk import query

# After (that's it)
from agentd import query

---

Why?

You built an agent. It works locally. Now what?

• Where do I see what it did? → AgentD logs every tool call, duration, and token usage
• How much is this costing me? → Automatic cost tracking per run
• Why did it fail? → Full traces with inputs and outputs

---

Quick Start

Install

pip install agentd-sdk

Requires Claude Agent SDK

Use

import asyncio
from agentd import query
from claude_agent_sdk import ClaudeAgentOptions

async def main():
    options = ClaudeAgentOptions(
        allowed_tools=["WebSearch", "Read", "Write"],
        permission_mode="acceptEdits",
    )
    
    async for message in query(
        prompt="Research the latest AI agent frameworks",
        options=options,
        agent_id="my-research-agent",  # Optional: group runs
    ):
        print(message)

asyncio.run(main())

That's it. You'll see a summary printed after each run:

Configuration

Environment Variables

Variable	Description	Default
AGENTD_URL	HTTP endpoint to send metrics	None (console mode)
AGENTD_API_KEY	API key for authentication	None
AGENTD_AGENT_ID	Default agent ID	None
AGENTD_DISABLED	Set to "true" to disable	false
AGENTD_QUIET	Set to "true" to suppress console output	false
AGENTD_STREAMING	Real-time event streaming	false

Programmatic Configuration

from agentd import configure

configure(
    endpoint_url="https://your-receiver.com",
    api_key="your-api-key",
    agent_id="default-agent-id",
    include_trace=True,
    include_prompt=False,
)

---

Output Modes

Console (Default)

No config needed. Prints summary to stdout. Great for local development.

# Suppress console output
export AGENTD_QUIET=true

HTTP

Set AGENTD_URL to send data to a receiver:

export AGENTD_URL=https://your-receiver.com/v1/runs
export AGENTD_API_KEY=your-key

Disabled

export AGENTD_DISABLED=true

---

Alternative Usage Patterns

Wrapper Function

Keep using claude_agent_sdk.query() directly:

from claude_agent_sdk import query
from agentd import tracked_query

async for message in tracked_query(
    query(prompt="...", options=options),
    agent_id="my-agent"
):
    print(message)

Context Manager

For fine-grained control:

from claude_agent_sdk import query
from agentd import track_run

async with track_run(agent_id="my-agent") as tracker:
    async for message in query(prompt="...", options=options):
        tracker.process_message(message)
        # Custom processing here

---

Self-Hosting

We provide a reference receiver implementation. Run it, modify it, or use it to learn the spec.

Quick Start

cd receiver
pip install -r requirements.txt
python receiver.py

The receiver runs at http://localhost:8080. Point your SDK at it:

export AGENTD_URL=http://localhost:8080

What You Get

• SQLite storage (swap for Postgres, ClickHouse, etc.)
• REST API for querying data
• Ready for Grafana dashboards

API Spec

See spec/API.md for the full API contract. Build your own receiver if you want.

Philosophy

1. Open spec — The API contract is public. Build your own receiver, use ours, or switch later.
2. No lock-in — Remove AgentD and your agent still works. It's just a wrapper.
3. Start simple — Console output by default. Add infrastructure as you need it.
