nodeloom-sdk 0.8.0

Python SDK for NodeLoom AI agent monitoring and telemetry

NodeLoom Python SDK

Python SDK for instrumenting AI agents and sending telemetry to NodeLoom.

Features

• Fire-and-forget telemetry that never blocks or crashes your application
• Automatic batching and retry with exponential backoff
• Context manager support for traces and spans
• Built-in integrations for LangChain and CrewAI
• Thread-safe client (individual traces/spans are single-threaded)
• Bounded in-memory queue prevents unbounded memory growth
• Configurable via constructor arguments

Requirements

• Python 3.9+

Installation

pip install nodeloom-sdk

With LangChain integration:

pip install nodeloom-sdk[langchain]

With CrewAI integration:

pip install nodeloom-sdk[crewai]

Quick Start

from nodeloom import NodeLoom, SpanType

client = NodeLoom(api_key="sdk_your_api_key")

with client.trace("my-agent", input={"query": "What is NodeLoom?"}) as trace:
    with trace.span("llm-call", type=SpanType.LLM) as span:
        span.set_input({"messages": [{"role": "user", "content": "What is NodeLoom?"}]})
        # ... call your LLM ...
        span.set_output({"text": "NodeLoom is an AI agent operations platform."})
        span.set_token_usage(prompt=15, completion=20, model="gpt-4o")

client.shutdown()

Traces and Spans

A trace represents a single end-to-end agent execution. A span represents a unit of work within a trace (an LLM call, tool invocation, retrieval step, etc.).

Span Types

Type	Description
SpanType.LLM	Language model call
SpanType.TOOL	Tool or function invocation
SpanType.RETRIEVAL	Vector search or data retrieval
SpanType.CHAIN	Pipeline or chain of steps
SpanType.AGENT	Sub-agent invocation
SpanType.CUSTOM	User-defined operation

Nested Spans

with client.trace("my-agent") as trace:
    with trace.span("agent-step", type=SpanType.AGENT) as parent:
        with trace.span("llm-call", type=SpanType.LLM, parent_span_id=parent.span_id) as child:
            child.set_output({"response": "..."})
            child.set_token_usage(prompt=10, completion=20, model="gpt-4o")

Standalone Events

client.event("guardrail_triggered", level=EventLevel.WARN, data={"rule": "pii_detected"})

Error Handling

Traces and spans used as context managers automatically catch exceptions, mark the span/trace as ERROR, and re-raise:

with client.trace("my-agent") as trace:
    with trace.span("risky-call", type=SpanType.TOOL) as span:
        raise ValueError("something went wrong")
        # span is automatically marked as ERROR
    # trace is automatically marked as ERROR

You can also set errors manually:

span.set_error("Connection timeout")
trace.end(status=TraceStatus.ERROR, error="Agent failed")

LangChain Integration

from nodeloom import NodeLoom
from nodeloom.integrations.langchain import NodeLoomCallbackHandler

client = NodeLoom(api_key="sdk_your_api_key")
handler = NodeLoomCallbackHandler(client)

# Pass the handler to any LangChain chain, agent, or LLM
result = chain.invoke(input, config={"callbacks": [handler]})

client.shutdown()

The callback handler automatically instruments LLM calls, chain runs, tool invocations, and retriever queries with proper parent-child span relationships.

CrewAI Integration

Decorator

from nodeloom import NodeLoom
from nodeloom.integrations.crewai import instrument_crew

client = NodeLoom(api_key="sdk_your_api_key")

@instrument_crew(client, agent_name="my-crew", agent_version="1.0.0")
def run_crew():
    crew = Crew(agents=[...], tasks=[...])
    return crew.kickoff()

run_crew()
client.shutdown()

Manual Instrumentation

from nodeloom.integrations.crewai import CrewAIInstrumentation

inst = CrewAIInstrumentation(client)
with inst.trace_crew("my-crew") as ctx:
    with ctx.task("research", agent="researcher") as span:
        result = do_research()
        span.set_output({"result": result})
