Trace Oh My Pi (omp) terminal coding sessions, model calls, tool usage, and token costs with Arize AX for full observability.Oh My Pi (omp) is a terminal coding agent that loads its extensions in-process inside its Bun runtime. The Arize Coding Harness Tracing instruments omp lifecycle events and exports OpenInference spans to Arize AX. Each agent run is captured as a trace with model calls, tool invocations, and inline token usage.
Launch Arize AX
To get started, sign up for a free Arize AX account and get your Space ID and API Key:- Log in at app.arize.com
- Click Settings and copy the Space ID
- Open the API Keys tab and create or copy an API key
Install
Curl installer
macOS / Linux:Local clone
~/.arize/harness/config.json, copies the hook shim into ~/.omp/extensions/arize-tracing.ts, and registers the shim’s absolute path in the extensions array of ~/.omp/agent/settings.json. omp does not auto-discover an extensions directory, so this explicit registration is required — the installer handles it for you.
Open a new omp session after install so the extension loads.
Configuration
Credentials live in~/.arize/harness/config.json. Environment variables override values in config.json and can be set in your shell profile before launching omp.
| Variable | Purpose |
|---|---|
ARIZE_TRACE_ENABLED | Toggle tracing on or off |
ARIZE_PROJECT_NAME | Destination project name (defaults to omp) |
ARIZE_DRY_RUN | Run the hook without sending spans, for validation |
ARIZE_USER_ID | Attribute traces to a specific user |
ARIZE_VERBOSE | Log routine handler activity (event dispatch, span emits, state transitions) |
ARIZE_TRACE_DEBUG | Dump raw event payloads under ~/.arize/harness/state/debug/ for inspection |
Redaction controls
EachARIZE_LOG_* flag accepts "true" or "false" and defaults to "true". Set to "false" to opt out per category:
| Flag | Redacts |
|---|---|
ARIZE_LOG_PROMPTS | User prompt and assistant response text |
ARIZE_LOG_TOOL_DETAILS | Tool names and arguments |
ARIZE_LOG_TOOL_CONTENT | Tool call output content |
Observe
Once tracing is enabled, omp activity is streamed to Arize AX. There is one trace per agent run — a user prompt through the agent’s internal turn/tool-use loop to its final answer. Each trace is a tree:- Turn traces — the root span for each agent run, with the user prompt as input and the final assistant message as output
- LLM spans — one per model call in the loop, with model name, provider, prompt/completion/reasoning token counts, cache read/write tokens, and cost
- Tool spans — one per tool call, pairing the tool invocation with its result and recording name, input args, and output
- Session grouping — all runs from the same session grouped by
session.id
Spans Captured
omp exposes rich, once-fired lifecycle events that already carry final, structured data. The Arize AX hook forwards a small whitelist of them and emits the following spans:| Span | Kind | Description |
|---|---|---|
Turn | CHAIN | Root span for the agent run. Input is the user prompt (before_agent_start); output is the final assistant message. |
LLM: <model> | LLM | Child of Turn. One per turn_end, carrying model info, token counts, cache tokens, and cost. |
<tool> | TOOL | Child of Turn. One per tool result in a turn_end, paired with its originating tool call by id and recording input args and output. |
before_agent_start, turn_end, agent_end, and session_shutdown.
Verifying tracing
Run any omp session as you normally would. omp loads the registered extension on startup and forwards lifecycle events to the Arize AX hook.- Errors and handler stderr land in
~/.arize/harness/logs/omp.log. Setexport ARIZE_VERBOSE=truebefore launching omp to also see routine handler activity. - Set
export ARIZE_TRACE_DEBUG=trueto dump the raw event payloads under~/.arize/harness/state/debug/for inspection. - Confirm spans appear in your configured project in Arize AX.

extensions array in ~/.omp/agent/settings.json, deletes the hook file at ~/.omp/extensions/arize-tracing.ts (only if it carries the Arize header marker, so your own extensions are left alone), and removes the harnesses.omp block from ~/.arize/harness/config.json.
