Read a run and its live trace

Every run keeps a complete record. You can watch it as it happens or read it later.

Open a run

• From Run agent, you are taken straight to the run.
• On the Agents page, the Recent runs list shows the latest runs; choose one.
• On an agent's page, the Recent runs panel lists its last runs.

The page title reads "Agent name: run" with the trigger and start time below. A Live label appears while the run is in progress.

The header

• A status badge: Queued, Running, Waiting for your approval, Done, Failed or Cancelled.
• A summary line: number of steps, tokens and cost.
• Open agent returns to the agent. Cancel run appears while the run is active.
• Input shows what the run was given, if anything.

The steps

Below that is a numbered list. Each step has a title and, where it applies, the tokens and cost it used:

• Thinking: the agent's reasoning.
• Calls : the agent used a tool. Choose Show details to see exactly what it sent.
• returned (green) or failed (red): what came back. Show details reveals the full result.
• Needs your approval: the run paused for you.
• Answer: the agent's reply.
• Stopped with an error: something went wrong.

When the run finishes, a Result box shows the final output. If it failed, a red box shows the reason in plain words.

Resuming after a pause

If a run is Waiting for your approval, the approval card appears at the top of the page. Press Approve or Deny and the run continues from the same point. See The approvals inbox.

Good to know

• If your connection drops, the page falls back to refreshing every few seconds.
• A run that fails because of a temporary problem is retried automatically a few times before it gives up. Unexpected errors show a reference starting with ERR- that you can quote to support.
• Fetched pages and tool results are shown in the trace, so avoid sending secrets through tools.
• The trace is your best debugging tool: if the agent did something odd, the cause is almost always in the steps above its answer.
