From af36384a45fd9514e23e1d6e521e782e0d32011c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Abhijeet Prasad Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 22:51:28 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 01/12] fix: correct span tracking for concurrent subagents in Claude Agent SDK wrapper MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Three bugs surfaced when multiple subagents ran concurrently on the single interleaved message stream that the Claude Agent SDK produces. ## Bug 1: cleanup() prematurely ended tool spans from other subagents cleanup() was global — when any subagent's AssistantMessage arrived, it force-ended ALL active tool spans, including those belonging to other subagents that had not yet received their ToolResultBlock. This caused tool output to be silently dropped. Fix: add an only_parent_tool_use_id parameter to cleanup(). It now filters by the parent_tool_use_id of the incoming AssistantMessage, leaving tool spans from other subagent contexts untouched. ## Bug 2: LLMSpanTracker had a single shared state LLMSpanTracker kept a single current_span, current_output, next_start_time, etc. When subagent B's LLM turn started, it ended subagent A's span early, serializing what should have been parallel LLM spans into a sequence and misrouting tool span parentage. Fix: refactor LLMSpanTracker to maintain a per-subagent _SubagentState dict keyed by parent_tool_use_id. A set_context() call on each incoming AssistantMessage routes all operations (start, end, log, timing) to the correct subagent's independent state. The orchestrator context (parent_tool_use_id=None) is seeded at init with the query start time. ## Bug 3: identical concurrent tool calls caused span swapping When two sibling subagents called the same tool with the same arguments, acquire_span_for_handler() matched purely by name + input and could not distinguish which span belonged to which handler invocation, leading to nested child spans being parented under the wrong tool span. Fix: add a _dispatch_queues dict (FIFO queue per (tool_name, input_sig)) to ToolSpanTracker. Spans are enqueued on creation and dequeued in order on acquire, guaranteeing the first handler invocation gets the first span. --- .../wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/_wrapper.py | 192 ++++-- ...llel_llm_spans_with_correct_parenting.json | 550 ++++++++++++++++++ ...leaved_subagent_tool_output_preserved.json | 340 +++++++++++ .../wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/test_wrapper.py | 533 +++++++++++++++++ 4 files changed, 1579 insertions(+), 36 deletions(-) create mode 100644 py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/cassettes/test_concurrent_subagents_produce_parallel_llm_spans_with_correct_parenting.json create mode 100644 py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/cassettes/test_interleaved_subagent_tool_output_preserved.json diff --git a/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/_wrapper.py b/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/_wrapper.py index e019241d..e6e3d901 100644 --- a/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/_wrapper.py +++ b/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/_wrapper.py @@ -1,5 +1,7 @@ import asyncio +import collections import dataclasses +import json import logging import threading import time @@ -37,12 +39,18 @@ class ParsedToolName: mcp_server: str | None = None +_UNSET_PARENT = object() +"""Sentinel to distinguish 'no filter' from 'filter to orchestrator (None)'.""" + + @dataclasses.dataclass class _ActiveToolSpan: span: Any raw_name: str display_name: str input: Any + tool_use_id: str | None = None + parent_tool_use_id: str | None = None handler_active: bool = False @property @@ -236,15 +244,30 @@ async def wrapped_handler(args: Any) -> Any: return wrapped_handler +def _make_dispatch_key(tool_name: str, tool_input: Any) -> tuple[str, str]: + """Create a hashable key for dispatch queue lookup from tool name and input.""" + try: + input_sig = json.dumps(tool_input, sort_keys=True, default=str) + except (TypeError, ValueError): + input_sig = repr(tool_input) + return (tool_name, input_sig) + + class ToolSpanTracker: def __init__(self): self._active_spans: dict[str, _ActiveToolSpan] = {} self._pending_task_link_tool_use_ids: set[str] = set() + # Per-(tool_name, input_signature) FIFO queue of tool_use_ids. + # Used by acquire_span_for_handler to disambiguate identical concurrent + # tool calls (same name + same input) from sibling subagents. + self._dispatch_queues: dict[tuple[str, str], collections.deque[str]] = {} def start_tool_spans(self, message: Any, llm_span_export: str | None) -> None: if llm_span_export is None or not hasattr(message, "content"): return + message_parent_tool_use_id = getattr(message, "parent_tool_use_id", None) + for block in message.content: if type(block).__name__ != BlockClassName.TOOL_USE: continue @@ -277,12 +300,17 @@ def start_tool_spans(self, message: Any, llm_span_export: str | None) -> None: metadata=metadata, parent=llm_span_export, ) + tool_input = getattr(block, "input", None) self._active_spans[tool_use_id] = _ActiveToolSpan( span=tool_span, raw_name=parsed_tool_name.raw_name, display_name=parsed_tool_name.display_name, -

Patching `claude_agent_sdk.SdkMcpTool = +WrappedSdkMcpTool` is therefore sufficient — every `tool()` call already routes +through `WrappedSdkMcpTool.__init__`, which wraps the handler via +`_wrap_tool_handler`. No separate `tool` patch is needed. + +This holds even for the `from claude_agent_sdk import tool` pre-import case that the +`sys.modules` sweep was designed to handle: because `tool.__globals__ is +claude_agent_sdk.__dict__`, the function always looks up `SdkMcpTool` from the +module it was *defined* in, not from the importing module. + +The one real obstacle is that `tool()`'s inner `decorator` function has a +`-> SdkMcpTool[Any]` return annotation that Python evaluates eagerly. This calls +`__class_getitem__` on whatever `SdkMcpTool` currently is, which would raise +`TypeError` on a plain subclass. The `__class_getitem__` override already present on +`WrappedSdkMcpTool` handles this: + +```python +__class_getitem__ = classmethod(lambda cls, params: cls) +``` + +**What can be removed:** + +| Location | What to remove | +|----------|----------------| +| `_wrapper.py` | `_wrap_tool_factory` function entirely | +| `__init__.py` | `_wrap_tool_factory` import | +| `__init__.py` | `original_tool_fn` / `wrapped_tool_fn` block and its `sys.modules` sweep | + +`WrappedSdkMcpTool` and its `__class_getitem__` override stay exactly as-is. + +The rest of this document focuses on the three tracker objects that live inside +`receive_response()`. + +--- + +## 1. Current Architecture: Three Trackers, Many Interactions + +The current implementation uses three distinct tracker objects that collaborate via +method calls and shared references: + +``` +receive_response() + │ + ├── LLMSpanTracker — per-subagent-context LLM span lifecycle + ├── ToolSpanTracker — live tool spans, dispatch queues, pending-task IDs + └── TaskEventSpanTracker — TASK spans for subagents, needs a ref to ToolSpanTracker +``` + +They interact with each other in non-obvious ways: + +| Caller | Callee | Why | +|--------|--------|-----| +| `TaskEventSpanTracker.__init__` | receives `ToolSpanTracker` | needs `get_span_export()` to set task span parent | +| `TaskEventSpanTracker.process` | `tool_tracker.mark_task_started()` | removes tool_use_id from `_pending_task_link_tool_use_ids` | +| `receive_response` | `task_event_span_tracker.active_tool_use_ids` + `tool_tracker.pending_task_link_tool_use_ids` | builds combined exclusion set for cleanup | +| `receive_response` | `task_event_span_tracker.parent_export_for_message()` | gets LLM span parent before calling `llm_tracker.start_llm_span()` | +| `receive_response` | `llm_tracker.current_span_export` → passed to `tool_tracker.start_tool_spans()` | chains LLM export to tool parent | + +Five cross-tracker interactions in a hot loop. Every time a new subagent feature needs +a change, the developer has to reason about all three trackers simultaneously. + +--- + +## 2. Redundant and Duplicated State + +### 2a. Two half-pictures of the same "Agent tool call" lifecycle + +`ToolSpanTracker._pending_task_link_tool_use_ids` and +`TaskEventSpanTracker._task_span_by_tool_use_id` together track the full lifecycle +of an `Agent` tool call: + +``` +State Stored in Description +────── ───────── ─────────── +Pending ToolSpanTracker Agent span created, TaskStarted not yet seen +Linked TaskEventSpanTracker TaskStarted arrived, task_span_by_tool_use_id set +Ended (both remove the entry) TaskNotification arrived +``` + +These two dictionaries key on `agent_tool_use_id` and always move in lockstep: +`pending → linked` happens atomically in `process()` via `mark_task_started()`. +The consumer in `receive_response` always reads *both*: + +```python +active_subagent_tool_use_ids = ( + task_event_span_tracker.active_tool_use_ids # linked + | tool_tracker.pending_task_link_tool_use_ids # pending +) +``` + +This set union reconstructs information that was always a single set of "live agent +tool calls". Splitting it between two trackers is unnecessary. + +### 2b. `LLMSpanTracker` and `TaskEventSpanTracker` share the same routing key + +Both trackers key their primary state on `parent_tool_use_id` (the agent tool call +that spawned a subagent). The connection is direct: + +- `LLMSpanTracker._states[parent_tool_use_id]` → a subagent's LLM span state +- `TaskEventSpanTracker._task_span_by_tool_use_id[parent_tool_use_id]` → a subagent's TASK span + +A subagent has exactly one TASK span and a sequence of LLM spans, all keyed by the +same `parent_tool_use_id`. Keeping them in two different tracker objects means every +subagent-related operation must touch two places. + +### 2c. `_active_context` is an implicit, mutable cursor + +`LLMSpanTracker._active_context` is set via `set_context()` before any method that +should route to a specific subagent. The sentinel `_UNSET_PARENT = object()` then +distinguishes "use active context" from "use orchestrator (None)". + +This makes it easy to introduce bugs where `set_context()` is forgotten or called +out of order. The `mark_next_llm_start` method has an entire special-case block to +compensate for `UserMessage`s that arrive with `parent_tool_use_id=None` while the +active context is set to a subagent: + +```python +def mark_next_llm_start(self, parent_tool_use_id=_UNSET_PARENT): + if parent_tool_use_id is None and self._active_context is not None: + parent_tool_use_id = _UNSET_PARENT # fall back to active context + self._get_state(parent_tool_use_id).next_start_time = time.time() +``` + +This implicit fallback would be unnecessary if context routing were always explicit. + +### 2d. `cleanup()` has three orthogonal filter modes in one method + +```python +def cleanup( + self, + end_time: float | None = None, + exclude_tool_use_ids: frozenset[str] | None = None, + only_parent_tool_use_id: Any = _UNSET_PARENT, # sentinel again +) -> None: +``` + +Three call sites, each using a different combination of parameters. This is a sign +the method is doing three different jobs: + +1. **End-of-stream**: called with no filters — close everything. +2. **Pre-LLM cleanup within a context**: called with `only_parent_tool_use_id` + `exclude_tool_use_ids` — close dangling tool spans scoped to one subagent, but skip live Agent spans. +3. **Dangling-span cleanup**: called from tests with just `end_time` or no args. + +A simpler API would expose these three intents as distinct methods or with clearer +parameter names that do not require a sentinel object. + +--- + +## 3. What Is Genuinely Irreducible + +Not all complexity can be removed. The following pieces are load-bearing: + +### 3a. Per-subagent-context state + +Concurrent subagents interleave on a single message stream. Each subagent needs its +own LLM span sequence and TASK span. Keying state on `parent_tool_use_id` (or `None` +for the orchestrator) is the correct abstraction. + +### 3b. Dispatch queues in `ToolSpanTracker` + +When two subagents call the same tool with identical arguments, the handler receives +only `(tool_name, args)` — not a `tool_use_id`. The FIFO dispatch queue maps the +handler invocation order to the span creation order, which matches the Claude SDK's +own execution order. This is necessary and correct. + +### 3c. Thread-local for handler-to-span bridging + +Tool handlers are called by the Claude SDK without any Braintrust context. A +thread-local is the only way to bridge the active stream session to the handler. +This cannot be removed without changing the SDK's calling convention. + +### 3d. `next_start_time` for non-overlapping sequential spans + +Stamping the time when a `UserMessage` with tool results arrives, then using that +stamp as both the end time of the previous LLM span and the start time of the next +one, is necessary to produce accurate, non-overlapping span timelines. This logic +must live somewhere. + +--- + +## 4. Proposed Simplifications + +### 4a. Merge `LLMSpanTracker` and `TaskEventSpanTracker` into `ContextTracker` + +Since both trackers key on `parent_tool_use_id`, merge them into a single object +with one state record per subagent context: + +```python +@dataclasses.dataclass +class _AgentContext: + # LLM state (from LLMSpanTracker._SubagentState) + llm_span: Any | None = None + llm_span_export: str | None = None + llm_parent_export: str | None = None + llm_output: list | None = None + next_llm_start: float | None = None + # Task state (from TaskEventSpanTracker._task_span_by_tool_use_id) + task_span: Any | None = None + task_id: str | None = None + +class ContextTracker: + def __init__(self, root_span_export: str, query_start_time: float | None = None): + self._root_span_export = root_span_export + # parent_tool_use_id (or None for orchestrator) → _AgentContext + self._contexts: dict[str | None, _AgentContext] = { + None: _AgentContext(next_llm_start=query_start_time) + } + self._active_key: str | None = None # still needed as a cursor, see 4b + self._task_order: list[str] = [] # for fallback parent resolution + + def set_active(self, parent_tool_use_id: str | None) -> None: ... + def start_llm_span(self, message, prompt, history, parent_export) -> ...: ... + def mark_next_llm_start(self, parent_tool_use_id: str | None) -> None: ... + def process_task_event(self, message) -> None: ... # replaces TaskEventSpanTracker.process + def llm_parent_export_for_message(self, message) -> str: ... + def log_usage(self, metrics) -> None: ... + def cleanup(self) -> None: ... +``` + +**What this removes:** +- `TaskEventSpanTracker` as a separate class (≈ 100 lines of code). +- The `ToolSpanTracker` constructor argument `tool_tracker` from `TaskEventSpanTracker`. +- The `_task_span_by_tool_use_id` dict — it becomes `_contexts[tool_use_id].task_span`. +- The `_active_task_order` list can stay on `ContextTracker` as `_task_order` for + the same fallback-parent purpose. + +**The two remaining `ToolSpanTracker` cross-calls** become: +- `mark_task_started(tool_use_id)` → `ContextTracker.process_task_event` already knows + this; `ToolSpanTracker` can expose a simple `unlink_agent_span(tool_use_id)` or the + pending-ID set can move into `ContextTracker` entirely (see 4b). +- `get_span_export(tool_use_id)` → `ContextTracker._contexts[tool_use_id].task_span.export()` + +### 4b. Move the "pending Agent spans" set into `ContextTracker` + +`ToolSpanTracker._pending_task_link_tool_use_ids` exists solely to tell `cleanup()` +"don't close this Agent tool span, its TaskStarted hasn't arrived yet". The decision +of whether an Agent span is pending or linked is owned by the task event lifecycle, +which will live in `ContextTracker` after 4a. So the set belongs there. + +`ContextTracker` would track whether a context has been confirmed by `TaskStarted` +as a boolean flag on `_AgentContext`: + +```python +@dataclasses.dataclass +class _AgentContext: + ... + task_confirmed: bool = False # True after TaskStarted received +``` + +`ToolSpanTracker.cleanup()` would receive the full set of "live agent tool_use_ids" +(both confirmed and unconfirmed) from `ContextTracker.live_agent_tool_use_ids` — +a single property, not two properties unioned by the caller. + +### 4c. Make context routing explicit, remove the `_UNSET_PARENT` sentinel + +The `_UNSET_PARENT = object()` sentinel is a code smell — it is a non-serializable +runtime object used as a dict key guard. The need for it arises because +`mark_next_llm_start` has an implicit fallback: "if you passed `None` but there's +an active subagent, use the active subagent instead." + +Replace the implicit fallback with explicit routing at the call site in +`receive_response`, where the `UserMessage`'s `parent_tool_use_id` is already being +read: + +```python +# Before (implicit fallback inside LLMSpanTracker): +llm_tracker.mark_next_llm_start(user_parent) + +# After (caller resolves the context before calling): +resolved_context = user_parent if user_parent is not None else self._active_context +context_tracker.mark_next_llm_start(resolved_context) +``` + +With this change, `_UNSET_PARENT` can be deleted along with the fallback branch +inside `mark_next_llm_start`. The tracker method signature becomes simply +`mark_next_llm_start(context_key: str | None)`. + +### 4d. Simplify `ToolSpanTracker.cleanup()` into two focused methods + +Replace the three-mode method with two explicit ones: + +```python +def cleanup_context(self, parent_tool_use_id: str | None, *, end_time: float | None = None, exclude_ids: frozenset[str] = frozenset()) -> None: + """Close all active tool spans belonging to a specific subagent context, + optionally skipping Agent spans that are still live.""" + +def cleanup_all(self, end_time: float | None = None) -> None: + """Close all remaining active spans. Called at end-of-stream.""" +``` + +The three call sites in `receive_response` and tests map cleanly: +- Pre-LLM cleanup → `cleanup_context(incoming_parent, end_time=..., exclude_ids=live_agent_ids)` +- End-of-stream → `cleanup_all()` +- Test helpers → `cleanup_all()` or `cleanup_context(...)` + +No sentinel needed; the filter intent is expressed in the method name. + +--- + +## 5. Summary of Changes + +| Change | Effect | +|--------|--------| +| Merge `LLMSpanTracker` + `TaskEventSpanTracker` → `ContextTracker` | −1 tracker class, eliminates constructor coupling, unifies per-subagent state | +| Move `_pending_task_link_tool_use_ids` into `ContextTracker` | Eliminates two-property union at call site, single source of truth for Agent span liveness | +| Remove `_UNSET_PARENT` sentinel | Eliminates implicit fallback, makes `receive_response` loop more readable | +| Split `cleanup()` into `cleanup_context()` + `cleanup_all()` | Clarifies intent at each call site, removes three-mode parameter combination | + +**Trackers before:** 3 (`ToolSpanTracker`, `LLMSpanTracker`, `TaskEventSpanTracker`) +**Trackers after:** 2 (`ToolSpanTracker`, `ContextTracker`) + +**Cross-tracker interactions before:** 5 (see §1 table) +**Cross-tracker interactions after:** 2 (ContextTracker gives ToolSpanTracker the live-agent-id set for cleanup; ToolSpanTracker gives ContextTracker a task span parent export via `get_span_export`) + +--- + +## 6. What Does Not Change + +- **`WrappedSdkMcpTool`** — the handler-side wrapper is a separate concern (span + activation, not span creation) and is entirely unaffected. See + `INSTRUMENTATION.md § 1b`. `wrapped_tool_fn` is removed as part of § 0a above. +- The `_dispatch_queues` FIFO mechanism in `ToolSpanTracker` — still required. +- The thread-local for handler bridging — still required. The handler wrappers read + it to find the active `ToolSpanTracker`; after this refactor they would read it to + find the active `ToolSpanTracker` inside `ContextTracker` (or a direct reference + to the same object — the public API is unchanged). +- The `next_llm_start` stamping logic — still required, just moves into `_AgentContext`. +- The `_active_context` / `set_active()` cursor on `ContextTracker` — still needed + because `AssistantMessage` arrives with a `parent_tool_use_id` that sets routing + for the rest of that message's processing. The cursor avoids threading it through + every call signature inside the message loop. +- The test surface — all existing unit and integration tests remain valid; only + the internal class and method names change. diff --git a/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/_wrapper.py b/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/_wrapper.py index 3521be02..47f0168a 100644 --- a/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/_wrapper.py +++ b/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/_wrapper.py @@ -308,20 +308,8 @@ def finish_tool_spans(self, message: Any) -> None: self._end_tool_span(str(tool_use_id), tool_result_block=block) - def cleanup( - self, - end_time: float | None = None, - exclude_tool_use_ids: frozenset[str] | None = None, - only_parent_tool_use_id: Any = _UNSET_PARENT, - ) -> None: - for tool_use_id in list(self._active_spans): - if exclude_tool_use_ids and tool_use_id in exclude_tool_use_ids: - continue - if only_parent_tool_use_id is not _UNSET_PARENT: - active = self._active_spans.get(tool_use_id) - if active is not None and active.parent_tool_use_id != only_parent_tool_use_id: - continue - self._end_tool_span(tool_use_id, end_time=end_time) + def cleanup(self, end_time: float | None = None) -> None: + self.cleanup_all(end_time=end_time) def cleanup_context( self, @@ -851,10 +839,10 @@ async def receive_response(self) -> AsyncGenerator[Any, None]: task_event_span_tracker.active_tool_use_ids | tool_tracker.pending_task_link_tool_use_ids ) - tool_tracker.cleanup( + tool_tracker.cleanup_context( + incoming_parent, end_time=llm_tracker.get_next_start_time(), - exclude_tool_use_ids=active_subagent_tool_use_ids, - only_parent_tool_use_id=incoming_parent, + exclude_ids=active_subagent_tool_use_ids, ) llm_parent_export = task_event_span_tracker.parent_export_for_message( message, diff --git a/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/test_wrapper.py b/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/test_wrapper.py index 02386156..1ea93d84 100644 --- a/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/test_wrapper.py +++ b/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/test_wrapper.py @@ -2146,12 +2146,10 @@ async def test_concurrent_subagent_tool_output_not_silently_dropped(memory_logge assert tracker.has_active_spans, "Tool span should be active after start_tool_spans" # Cleanup triggered by beta's AssistantMessage — scoped to beta's context - tracker.cleanup(only_parent_tool_use_id="call-beta") + tracker.cleanup_context("call-beta") # Alpha's tool span should still be active - assert tracker.has_active_spans, ( - "cleanup(only_parent_tool_use_id='call-beta') should not end alpha's tool span" - ) + assert tracker.has_active_spans, "cleanup_context('call-beta') should not end alpha's tool span" # Alpha's ToolResultBlock arrives and should be recorded tracker.finish_tool_spans( @@ -2199,7 +2197,7 @@ def test_tool_span_tracker_cleanup_preserves_cross_subagent_spans(memory_logger) ) # Cleanup triggered by beta's AssistantMessage — scoped to beta - tracker.cleanup(only_parent_tool_use_id="call-beta") + tracker.cleanup_context("call-beta") # Alpha's span should still be active assert tracker.has_active_spans, "Alpha's tool span should survive beta-scoped cleanup" From 2931fc1d3b2b1f0f8db34554610c59a7555d5c6c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Abhijeet Prasad Date: Thu, 19 Mar 2026 00:05:53 -0400 Subject: [PATCH 06/12] Add _AgentContext and ContextTracker MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit Step 4 of the Claude Agent SDK instrumentation simplification plan.

Every time a new subagent feature needs -a change, the developer has to reason about all three trackers simultaneously. - ---- - -## 2. Redundant and Duplicated State - -### 2a. Two half-pictures of the same "Agent tool call" lifecycle - -`ToolSpanTracker._pending_task_link_tool_use_ids` and -`TaskEventSpanTracker._task_span_by_tool_use_id` together track the full lifecycle -of an `Agent` tool call: - -``` -State Stored in Description -────── ───────── ─────────── -Pending ToolSpanTracker Agent span created, TaskStarted not yet seen -Linked TaskEventSpanTracker TaskStarted arrived, task_span_by_tool_use_id set -Ended (both remove the entry) TaskNotification arrived -``` - -These two dictionaries key on `agent_tool_use_id` and always move in lockstep: -`pending → linked` happens atomically in `process()` via `mark_task_started()`. -The consumer in `receive_response` always reads *both*: - -```python -active_subagent_tool_use_ids = ( - task_event_span_tracker.active_tool_use_ids # linked - | tool_tracker.pending_task_link_tool_use_ids # pending -) -``` - -This set union reconstructs information that was always a single set of "live agent -tool calls". Splitting it between two trackers is unnecessary. - -### 2b. `LLMSpanTracker` and `TaskEventSpanTracker` share the same routing key - -Both trackers key their primary state on `parent_tool_use_id` (the agent tool call -that spawned a subagent). The connection is direct: - -- `LLMSpanTracker._states[parent_tool_use_id]` → a subagent's LLM span state -- `TaskEventSpanTracker._task_span_by_tool_use_id[parent_tool_use_id]` → a subagent's TASK span - -A subagent has exactly one TASK span and a sequence of LLM spans, all keyed by the -same `parent_tool_use_id`. Keeping them in two different tracker objects means every -subagent-related operation must touch two places. - -### 2c. `_active_context` is an implicit, mutable cursor - -`LLMSpanTracker._active_context` is set via `set_context()` before any method that -should route to a specific subagent. The sentinel `_UNSET_PARENT = object()` then -distinguishes "use active context" from "use orchestrator (None)". - -This makes it easy to introduce bugs where `set_context()` is forgotten or called -out of order. The `mark_next_llm_start` method has an entire special-case block to -compensate for `UserMessage`s that arrive with `parent_tool_use_id=None` while the -active context is set to a subagent: - -```python -def mark_next_llm_start(self, parent_tool_use_id=_UNSET_PARENT): - if parent_tool_use_id is None and self._active_context is not None: - parent_tool_use_id = _UNSET_PARENT # fall back to active context - self._get_state(parent_tool_use_id).next_start_time = time.time() -``` - -This implicit fallback would be unnecessary if context routing were always explicit. - -### 2d. `cleanup()` has three orthogonal filter modes in one method - -```python -def cleanup( - self, - end_time: float | None = None, - exclude_tool_use_ids: frozenset[str] | None = None, - only_parent_tool_use_id: Any = _UNSET_PARENT, # sentinel again -) -> None: -``` - -Three call sites, each using a different combination of parameters. This is a sign -the method is doing three different jobs: - -1. **End-of-stream**: called with no filters — close everything. -2. **Pre-LLM cleanup within a context**: called with `only_parent_tool_use_id` + `exclude_tool_use_ids` — close dangling tool spans scoped to one subagent, but skip live Agent spans. -3. **Dangling-span cleanup**: called from tests with just `end_time` or no args. - -A simpler API would expose these three intents as distinct methods or with clearer -parameter names that do not require a sentinel object. - ---- - -## 3. What Is Genuinely Irreducible - -Not all complexity can be removed. The following pieces are load-bearing: - -### 3a. Per-subagent-context state - -Concurrent subagents interleave on a single message stream. Each subagent needs its -own LLM span sequence and TASK span. Keying state on `parent_tool_use_id` (or `None` -for the orchestrator) is the correct abstraction. - -### 3b. Dispatch queues in `ToolSpanTracker` - -When two subagents call the same tool with identical arguments, the handler receives -only `(tool_name, args)` — not a `tool_use_id`. The FIFO dispatch queue maps the -handler invocation order to the span creation order, which matches the Claude SDK's -own execution order. This is necessary and correct. - -### 3c. Thread-local for handler-to-span bridging - -Tool handlers are called by the Claude SDK without any Braintrust context. A -thread-local is the only way to bridge the active stream session to the handler. -This cannot be removed without changing the SDK's calling convention. - -### 3d. `next_start_time` for non-overlapping sequential spans - -Stamping the time when a `UserMessage` with tool results arrives, then using that -stamp as both the end time of the previous LLM span and the start time of the next -one, is necessary to produce accurate, non-overlapping span timelines. This logic -must live somewhere. - ---- - -## 4. Proposed Simplifications - -### 4a. Merge `LLMSpanTracker` and `TaskEventSpanTracker` into `ContextTracker` - -Since both trackers key on `parent_tool_use_id`, merge them into a single object -with one state record per subagent context: - -```python -@dataclasses.dataclass -class _AgentContext: - # LLM state (from LLMSpanTracker._SubagentState) - llm_span: Any | None = None - llm_span_export: str | None = None - llm_parent_export: str | None = None - llm_output: list | None = None - next_llm_start: float | None = None - # Task state (from TaskEventSpanTracker._task_span_by_tool_use_id) - task_span: Any | None = None - task_id: str | None = None - -class ContextTracker: - def __init__(self, root_span_export: str, query_start_time: float | None = None): - self._root_span_export = root_span_export - # parent_tool_use_id (or None for orchestrator) → _AgentContext - self._contexts: dict[str | None, _AgentContext] = { - None: _AgentContext(next_llm_start=query_start_time) - } - self._active_key: str | None = None # still needed as a cursor, see 4b - self._task_order: list[str] = [] # for fallback parent resolution - - def set_active(self, parent_tool_use_id: str | None) -> None: ... - def start_llm_span(self, message, prompt, history, parent_export) -> ...: ... - def mark_next_llm_start(self, parent_tool_use_id: str | None) -> None: ... - def process_task_event(self, message) -> None: ... # replaces TaskEventSpanTracker.process - def llm_parent_export_for_message(self, message) -> str: ... - def log_usage(self, metrics) -> None: ... - def cleanup(self) -> None: ... -``` - -**What this removes:** -- `TaskEventSpanTracker` as a separate class (≈ 100 lines of code). -- The `ToolSpanTracker` constructor argument `tool_tracker` from `TaskEventSpanTracker`. -- The `_task_span_by_tool_use_id` dict — it becomes `_contexts[tool_use_id].task_span`. -- The `_active_task_order` list can stay on `ContextTracker` as `_task_order` for - the same fallback-parent purpose. - -**The two remaining `ToolSpanTracker` cross-calls** become: -- `mark_task_started(tool_use_id)` → `ContextTracker.process_task_event` already knows - this; `ToolSpanTracker` can expose a simple `unlink_agent_span(tool_use_id)` or the - pending-ID set can move into `ContextTracker` entirely (see 4b). -- `get_span_export(tool_use_id)` → `ContextTracker._contexts[tool_use_id].task_span.export()` - -### 4b. Move the "pending Agent spans" set into `ContextTracker` - -`ToolSpanTracker._pending_task_link_tool_use_ids` exists solely to tell `cleanup()` -"don't close this Agent tool span, its TaskStarted hasn't arrived yet". The decision -of whether an Agent span is pending or linked is owned by the task event lifecycle, -which will live in `ContextTracker` after 4a. So the set belongs there. - -`ContextTracker` would track whether a context has been confirmed by `TaskStarted` -as a boolean flag on `_AgentContext`: - -```python -@dataclasses.dataclass -class _AgentContext: - ... - task_confirmed: bool = False # True after TaskStarted received -``` - -`ToolSpanTracker.cleanup()` would receive the full set of "live agent tool_use_ids" -(both confirmed and unconfirmed) from `ContextTracker.live_agent_tool_use_ids` — -a single property, not two properties unioned by the caller. - -### 4c. Make context routing explicit, remove the `_UNSET_PARENT` sentinel - -The `_UNSET_PARENT = object()` sentinel is a code smell — it is a non-serializable -runtime object used as a dict key guard. The need for it arises because -`mark_next_llm_start` has an implicit fallback: "if you passed `None` but there's -an active subagent, use the active subagent instead." - -Replace the implicit fallback with explicit routing at the call site in -`receive_response`, where the `UserMessage`'s `parent_tool_use_id` is already being -read: - -```python -# Before (implicit fallback inside LLMSpanTracker): -llm_tracker.mark_next_llm_start(user_parent) - -# After (caller resolves the context before calling): -resolved_context = user_parent if user_parent is not None else self._active_context -context_tracker.mark_next_llm_start(resolved_context) -``` - -With this change, `_UNSET_PARENT` can be deleted along with the fallback branch -inside `mark_next_llm_start`. The tracker method signature becomes simply -`mark_next_llm_start(context_key: str | None)`. - -### 4d. Simplify `ToolSpanTracker.cleanup()` into two focused methods - -Replace the three-mode method with two explicit ones: - -```python -def cleanup_context(self, parent_tool_use_id: str | None, *, end_time: float | None = None, exclude_ids: frozenset[str] = frozenset()) -> None: - """Close all active tool spans belonging to a specific subagent context, - optionally skipping Agent spans that are still live.""" - -def cleanup_all(self, end_time: float | None = None) -> None: - """Close all remaining active spans. Called at end-of-stream.""" -``` - -The three call sites in `receive_response` and tests map cleanly: -- Pre-LLM cleanup → `cleanup_context(incoming_parent, end_time=..., exclude_ids=live_agent_ids)` -- End-of-stream → `cleanup_all()` -- Test helpers → `cleanup_all()` or `cleanup_context(...)` - -No sentinel needed; the filter intent is expressed in the method name. - ---- - -## 5. Summary of Changes - -| Change | Effect | -|--------|--------| -| Merge `LLMSpanTracker` + `TaskEventSpanTracker` → `ContextTracker` | −1 tracker class, eliminates constructor coupling, unifies per-subagent state | -| Move `_pending_task_link_tool_use_ids` into `ContextTracker` | Eliminates two-property union at call site, single source of truth for Agent span liveness | -| Remove `_UNSET_PARENT` sentinel | Eliminates implicit fallback, makes `receive_response` loop more readable | -| Split `cleanup()` into `cleanup_context()` + `cleanup_all()` | Clarifies intent at each call site, removes three-mode parameter combination | - -**Trackers before:** 3 (`ToolSpanTracker`, `LLMSpanTracker`, `TaskEventSpanTracker`) -**Trackers after:** 2 (`ToolSpanTracker`, `ContextTracker`) - -**Cross-tracker interactions before:** 5 (see §1 table) -**Cross-tracker interactions after:** 2 (ContextTracker gives ToolSpanTracker the live-agent-id set for cleanup; ToolSpanTracker gives ContextTracker a task span parent export via `get_span_export`) - ---- - -## 6. What Does Not Change - -- **`WrappedSdkMcpTool`** — the handler-side wrapper is a separate concern (span - activation, not span creation) and is entirely unaffected. See - `INSTRUMENTATION.md § 1b`. `wrapped_tool_fn` is removed as part of § 0a above. -- The `_dispatch_queues` FIFO mechanism in `ToolSpanTracker` — still required. -- The thread-local for handler bridging — still required. The handler wrappers read - it to find the active `ToolSpanTracker`; after this refactor they would read it to - find the active `ToolSpanTracker` inside `ContextTracker` (or a direct reference - to the same object — the public API is unchanged). -- The `next_llm_start` stamping logic — still required, just moves into `_AgentContext`. -- The `_active_context` / `set_active()` cursor on `ContextTracker` — still needed - because `AssistantMessage` arrives with a `parent_tool_use_id` that sets routing - for the rest of that message's processing. The cursor avoids threading it through - every call signature inside the message loop. -- The test surface — all existing unit and integration tests remain valid; only - the internal class and method names change.

Two cassette-backed tests were recorded with SDK 0.1.48 and do not replay correctly on 0.1.10 due to the older SDK's limited message stream (only 3 messages per session). Add _sdk_cassette_name() helper that selects a version-specific cassette name when running under an older SDK, and record 0.1.10-specific cassettes for both tests. On 0.1.10, each test asserts only that the root TASK span exists (the full subagent span structure requires the richer message stream that 0.1.11+ produces). --- .../wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/_wrapper.py | 44 +++-- ...ans_with_correct_parenting_sdk_0_1_10.json | 186 ++++++++++++++++++ ...gent_tool_output_preserved_sdk_0_1_10.json | 186 ++++++++++++++++++ .../wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/test_wrapper.py | 45 ++++- 4 files changed, 439 insertions(+), 22 deletions(-) create mode 100644 py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/cassettes/test_concurrent_subagents_produce_parallel_llm_spans_with_correct_parenting_sdk_0_1_10.json create mode 100644 py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/cassettes/test_interleaved_subagent_tool_output_preserved_sdk_0_1_10.json diff --git a/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/_wrapper.py b/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/_wrapper.py index a9c9cd16..1cefc6d4 100644 --- a/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/_wrapper.py +++ b/py/src/braintrust/wrappers/claude_agent_sdk/_wrapper.py @@ -433,29 +433,47 @@ def _activate_tool_span_for_handler(tool_name: Any, args: Any) -> _ActiveToolSpa return tool_span_tracker.acquire_span_for_handler(tool_name, args) or _NOOP_ACTIVE_TOOL_SPAN +def _msg_field(message: Any, field: str) -> Any: + """Read a field from a system message, falling back to message.data for older SDK versions. + + SDK >= 0.1.11 exposes TaskStartedMessage / TaskProgressMessage / + TaskNotificationMessage with fields as top-level attributes. + SDK 0.1.10 uses a flat SystemMessage(subtype, data=) + where task fields live directly in data (e.g. data["task_id"]). + """ + value = getattr(message, field, None) + if value is not None: + return value + # Older SDK: message.data is the full raw payload dict with task fields at its top level. + data = getattr(message, "data", None) + if isinstance(data, dict): + return data.get(field) + return None + + def _task_span_name(message: Any, task_id: str) -> str: -
