opentelemetry-expert

opentelemetry-expert is an agent for coding agents from 0xfurai/claude-code-subagents. It costs 22 tokens per session (375 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An OpenTelemetry observability specialist for adding traces, metrics, and logs to applications. Observability means collecting information that helps explain what software is doing and where it is failing.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to instrument services, propagate trace context, define spans and labels, configure sampling, connect telemetry to monitoring systems, and manage collection overhead.
Why use it?
It helps connect activity across services and makes performance problems, errors, and missing instrumentation easier to investigate.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

opentelemetry-expert scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 2d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

opentelemetry-expert is an agent published in the GitHub repository 0xfurai/claude-code-subagents (996 stars, last pushed 10mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 22 tokens to every session and 375 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-09-03.
