Core objects
A connection is a configured MCP server. It can also be an A2A card, an OTEL file import, or a provider key profile. A session is one recorded interaction. It keeps the ordered turns, the tool calls, and the costs.
A replay re-runs a saved session against deterministic tool outputs. A regression bank is a curated set of replays that should run in CI before a server or model upgrade ships.
- Manifest Inspector shows the raw protocol surface before an agent touches it.
- Compose is the controlled workbench for schema-backed tool calls and agent loops.
- Trace Browser is the local memory of every session, span, and failed case.
- Ship writes GitHub Actions and JUnit XML. It also writes PR comments, trace cards, and AuraOne intake exports.

Local-first boundary
Trace contents stay on the machine unless the user explicitly exports a file, posts a PR comment, or prepares an AuraOne intake export. Telemetry is off by default and excludes trace payloads.
