# Observability
Use this sub-skill inside the `google-agents-cli` repo skill. It is a router plus operating checklist; move into the bundled references for full command flags, schemas, and examples.
## When to Use
- The user wants traces, logs, prompt-response logging, analytics, or telemetry.
- The task mentions Cloud Trace, Cloud Logging, BigQuery Agent Analytics, AgentOps, Arize, Comet, or Weave.
- You need observability provisioning or verification commands after deployment.
## Workflow
1. Decide whether the user needs traces only or full prompt-response/BigQuery analytics.
2. Provision required infrastructure with the deploy/infra guidance when needed.
3. Set environment variables and deployment config for logging/telemetry sinks.
4. Verify traces/log rows/analytics records after a real request.
## Read These References
- `references/observability-guide.md` — read for observability guide details.
- `references/bigquery-agent-analytics.md` — read for bigquery agent analytics details.
- `references/cloud-trace-and-logging.md` — read for cloud trace and logging details.
## Verification and Safety
Safe checks: inspect config/env and docs; provisioning and telemetry verification need cloud credentials and a deployed/requested agent.
## Boundaries
- Does not deploy or publish by itself.
- Does not enable third-party telemetry without user approval for keys/data flow.
