Retrace - Replay Agent Failures, Prove Fixes Work
CI/CD for AI agents — record, fork, fix, and prove.
What is Retrace?
Retrace is a CI/CD platform for AI agents that records every LLM and tool call, enabling developers to replay failures, fork from breaking steps, and prove fixes work before shipping. It captures production incidents as permanent regression tests, providing end-to-end observability with runtime guardrails, circuit breakers, and automated failure classification. Built for teams deploying multi-agent systems that need reliability guarantees across OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and any LLM framework.

Frequently Asked Questions about Retrace
What does Retrace record?
Retrace captures every LLM call, tool call, and error your agent makes with a single decorator, turning production failures into permanent regression tests you can re-run.
Can I replay a failed agent run?
Yes, you can re-run any recorded run or fork from the exact step where it broke to trace the actual cause without re-running the entire workflow.
What LLMs does Retrace support?
Retrace works with OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, and any LLM with any framework.
How do I install Retrace?
Install via pip with 'pip install retrace-sdk' or npm with 'npm i retrace-sdk'.
What are eval gates and guardrails?
Eval gates are CI/CD quality gates that block bad deploys, while guardrails provide runtime safety to halt agents before failure and circuit breakers block runaway loops and budget overages.
