AgentScope Python SDK

Python SDK for AgentScope telemetry, tracing, and instrumentation.

Install

pip install agentscope-sdk

Quick Start

from agentscope import observe_run, observe_span, trace

with observe_run("coding_agent", agent_name="demo"):
    with observe_span("llm_call", provider="openai", model="gpt-4o"):
        trace.log("sending prompt", level="info")

Set AGENTSCOPE_API_BASE=http://localhost:8080 and AGENTSCOPE_API_KEY=... as needed.

Anonymous SDK Telemetry (Optional)

Telemetry is sent only after explicit consent.

On first interactive SDK run, AgentScope prompts:

AgentScope Telemetry

We collect anonymous usage data to:
- improve debugging insights
- understand feature usage

We DO NOT collect:
- prompts
- outputs
- personal data

Enable telemetry? (y/N)

Consent is persisted in ~/.agentscope/config.json:

{
  "telemetry_enabled": true,
  "consent_timestamp": "2026-04-06T10:00:00Z"
}

Override options:

export AGENTSCOPE_TELEMETRY=on   # or off

import agentscope

agentscope.init(telemetry=True)   # or False

CLI consent management:

agentscope telemetry enable
agentscope telemetry disable

When enabled, the SDK sends only anonymous events (sdk_init, run_start, run_end) to POST /v1/telemetry using an anonymized project_id persisted at ~/.agentscope/config.json. Prompt/output content and user payloads are never sent by this channel.

Auto Instrumentation

from agentscope import auto_instrument

auto_instrument(["openai", "anthropic"])

This enables automatic provider tracing, orchestration boundary detection, and context propagation.

Default orchestration detectors:

• HTTP ASGI (FastAPI/Starlette) request boundary
• gRPC server interceptors
• Celery task execution boundary
• kafka-python consumer poll boundary (best-effort)

Default propagation:

• HTTP headers via requests
• Kafka message headers via kafka-python producer

Each boundary creates/continues one root orchestration run so agent runs inside that boundary share one trace_id automatically.

Disable orchestration auto-detection if needed:

auto_instrument(["openai"], orchestration=False)

Choose specific transports:

auto_instrument(["openai"], orchestration=["http", "grpc"])

Disable propagation injection:

auto_instrument(["openai"], propagation=False)

Coding-Agent Helpers

from agentscope import coding_agent_run, read_file, run_command, write_file

with coding_agent_run(agent_name="codebot"):
    content = read_file("README.md")
    write_file("notes.txt", content)
    result = run_command("echo done")
