BlackBox and God's Eye

Observability makes agent work easier to inspect. It should improve accountability without overstating what any model trace can prove.

BlackBox Traces

BlackBox Traces are request-level records. They can show model calls, tool calls, token counts, context snapshots, errors, and response previews. This helps users understand where a workflow spent time, where context expanded, and where a different route might be appropriate.

God's Eye View

God's Eye View is a project-structure view. It helps users see files, folders, indexed code relationships, and selected project previews. It is useful when agent work needs to be grounded in the shape of a project rather than an isolated chat message.

What not to claim

Do not describe these tools as perfect mind-reading. A trace can show requests, context, tools, errors, and previews. It cannot reveal every internal model activation or guarantee that every reasoning step was captured. The honest value is operational visibility.

How to use them together

• Use God's Eye View to understand project structure before assigning broad work.
• Use BlackBox Traces after a confusing, expensive, or tool-heavy turn.
• Compare route, token count, and evidence package when tuning delegation.
• Look for repeated context and repeated tool loops.
• Use traces to ask better follow-up questions, not to assume the system is infallible.
