What is Trace?
The step-by-step record of an agent's run: every model call, tool call, input and output, in order. Reading one shows where a run went wrong, which a final score alone cannot.

In real work
The final answer looked fine, but the trace showed the agent had called search eleven times and ignored the first result, which was correct.
In the illustration
The recorder logs every step in order: climb, turn, radio call, reply. On replay a marker steps back along the strip and stops at step 7, where the wrong turn began.
Read this agent trace in your model and mark the first step that went wrong, what the agent saw there, and the harness change that would have caught it.
