Mental Model

This page shows the minimum mental model you need to open a VoltOps trace and understand what happened. AI agents are hard to debug if you only look at final output. VoltOps solves this by showing each run as a trace with step-level spans.

One Request, One Trace​

In VoltOps:

  • A trace is one end-to-end execution.
  • A span is one operation inside that execution.
  • Spans are connected by parent-child relationships and rendered as nodes.
