pytest for AI agents — trace, debug and catch regressions in LLM swarms

PyPI


Install

pip install swarmtrace

Quick Start

from litai import LLM
from tracely import observe

llm = LLM(model="anthropic/claude-haiku-4-5-20251001")

@observe
def my_agent(question):
    return llm.chat(question)

my_agent("What is machine learning?")

Multi-Agent Swarm Tracing

@observe
def researcher(q):
    return llm.chat(f"Research: {q}")

@observe
def summarizer(text):
    return llm.chat(f"Summarize: {text}")

@observe
def orchestrator(q):
    research = researcher(q)
    return summarizer(research)

orchestrator("What is AGI?")

Output:

[swarmtrace] ▶ orchestrator started (id=2b914f91)
[swarmtrace]   ▶ researcher started (id=ffbf1215)
[swarmtrace]   done: researcher | 3.4s | 7in/330out | $0.0013
[swarmtrace]   ▶ summarizer started (id=4fc29468)
[swarmtrace]   done: summarizer | 0.8s | 338in/78out | $0.0005
[swarmtrace] done: orchestrator | 4.2s | 7in/78out | $0.0003

Token Budget Manager

Never let agents burn unlimited tokens again:

from tracely import observe
from tracely.budget import budget

@observe
@budget(max_tokens=500, warn_at=0.8)
def agent(q):
    return llm.chat(q)

agent("What is AI?")
agent("What is ML?")
agent("What is AGI?")

Output:

[swarmtrace] Budget: agent [████████░░░░░░░░░░░░] 203/500 tokens (41%)
[swarmtrace] WARNING: agent [█████████████████░░░] 437/500 tokens (87%) near limit!
[swarmtrace] OVER BUDGET: agent [███████████████████████] 697/500 tokens

Tool Attention — 95% Token Reduction

Based on arXiv:2604.21816 — reduces tool token overhead using semantic similarity:

from tracely.tool_attention import ToolAttention

tools = [
    {"name": "web_search", "description": "Search the web", "schema": {"query": "string"}},
    {"name": "code_exec", "description": "Execute Python code", "schema": {"code": "string"}},
    {"name": "image_gen", "description": "Generate images", "schema": {"prompt": "string"}},
    {"name": "send_email", "description": "Send an email", "schema": {"to": "string"}},
    {"name": "db_query", "description": "Query a database", "schema": {"sql": "string"}},
]

ta = ToolAttention(tools=tools)
active_tools = ta.select("write and run a python script", k=3)

Output:

[ToolAttention] Indexed 5 tools | Full schema: ~55 tokens
[ToolAttention] Selected 3/5 tools in 0.012s
[ToolAttention] Tokens: 55 to 17 (69.1% reduction)
[ToolAttention]   code_exec
[ToolAttention]   write_file
[ToolAttention]   api_call

Web Scraping Tracing

from tracely.scraper import scrape
from tracely import observe

@observe
def research_agent(topic):
    web_data = scrape("https://news.ycombinator.com")
    return llm.chat(f"Summarize this about {topic}: {web_data[:500]}")

research_agent("AI news")

Async Support

import asyncio

@observe
async def async_researcher(q):
    return llm.chat(q)

@observe
async def async_orchestrator(q):
    research, summary = await asyncio.gather(
        async_researcher(q),
        async_summarizer(q)
    )
    return f"{research} | {summary}"

asyncio.run(async_orchestrator("What is quantum computing?"))

CLI Commands

swarmtrace                        # view all traces with rich colors + agent tree
swarmtrace-replay <id>            # replay any trace instantly
swarmtrace-export --format json   # export to JSON
swarmtrace-export --format csv    # export to CSV

Regression Detection

from tracely.regression import compare

compare(
    my_agent,
    inputs=["What is ML?", "How does Python work?", "What is an API?"],
    version_a_prompt="You are a helpful assistant.",
    version_b_prompt="Reply only in emojis."
)

Output:

INPUT                     V1      V2     SIMILARITY  REGRESSION?
What is ML?               3.7s    1.5s   0.1         YES
How does Python work?     3.0s    1.1s   0.15        YES
What is an API?           3.1s    1.0s   0.15        YES

Result: 3/3 regressions detected
WARNING: Your new prompt may have regressed!
