CrewAI

CrewAI emits no GenAI spans of its own. Either OpenLLMetry or OpenLIT records its model calls. Python.

Turn tracing on

pip install traceloop-sdk

Once at startup, before crewai is imported:

import os

os.environ["TRACELOOP_TRACE_CONTENT"] = "false"
os.environ["TRACELOOP_TELEMETRY"] = "false"
os.environ["TRACELOOP_METRICS_ENABLED"] = "false"

from traceloop.sdk import Traceloop

Traceloop.init(
    app_name="research-agent",
    api_endpoint="https://<gateway>",
    headers={
        "X-Api-Key": "organisations/<organisation>/apiKeys/<key>",
        "X-Api-Secret": os.environ["AGENTPULSE_SECRET"],
        "X-Agentpulse-Agent": "organisations/<organisation>/agents/<agent>",
    },
)

Or with OpenLIT, as on its page.

Set CREWAI_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=true too, so CrewAI's own telemetry is not sent.

What is recorded

• Each model call, with its model, provider and tokens, cached tokens included.
• Not tool calls: neither instrumentation emits a tool span for CrewAI.
• The crew, task and agent spans are not counted, including the totals OpenLIT puts on them.

Checked with CrewAI 1.15, traceloop-sdk 0.62 and OpenLIT 1.45.

Budgets

Spans arrive after the call, so spend counts against your budgets and raises alerts, but a budget cannot stop a call recorded this way.
