Traces tell you what happened.
AgentPulse shows you where to investigate.

Open-source drift investigation for multi-agent systems: which agent drifted, why, and what to check next.

How it works

Two lines in, an investigation out

1

Instrument

Add two lines at startup. AgentPulse automatically instruments OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, and AutoGen.

from sdk import instrument instrument(task_type='my-system')
2

Capture

LLM calls, agent turns, tool calls, and handoffs are stored locally in one SQLite file per project. Core tracing works without an AgentPulse cloud account or hosted backend.

3

Detect drift

AgentPulse compares behavior across runs and versions, then flags agent, handoff, and route drift when signals leave their expected range.

4

Investigate

Follow the drift upstream to its likely source, with supporting signals, related changes, confidence, and suggested next checks.

What you get

Built around the investigation, not the trace viewer

When an outcome degrades, AgentPulse does not hand you a dashboard of symptoms. It compares every component against your baseline and walks the agent graph to the point where the drift originated.

Drift Investigation

Four rules turn a baseline breach into a root-cause finding:

  1. Baseline every metric, per agent, handoff, and route
  2. Open an investigation only on a sustained outcome breach, never a single noisy spike
  3. Walk the graph upstream and stop where inputs are stable but output drifted
  4. Correlate prompt, model, and tool changes that could actually have caused it

See the run, not the logs

See every run as an execution timeline and interactive agent graph, not a wall of log lines.

  • Tokens, latency, and cost for every turn
  • Parallel branches, bottlenecks, and join time
  • Handoff payloads and downstream outcomes on hover

Claude integration

Let Claude run the investigation

AgentPulse ships an MCP server, so Claude Code and Claude Desktop can triage drift, compare releases, and propose next checks conversationally. Three ready-made skills are bundled.

  Severity: Critical  Confidence: High
  Why: a change in writer propagated downstream
  to critic, whose success worsened. The fix
  belongs in writer, not critic.
  Trigger: writer prompt changed near run 110
