GenAI Agent Spans
An extension of OpenTelemetry's semantic conventions for generative applications, describing agent and framework operations as distributed-system traces (spans). It defines attributes and operation names such as create_agent, invoke_agent, and execute_tool, so that observability covers the agent's entire operation rather than just individual model calls.
