Traceway is an OpenTelemetry-based observability platform that collects and connects logs, traces, metrics, session replay, exceptions, and related operational data. Teams use it to understand software behavior and investigate problems. Catalogue add-ons can support workflows around operating and monitoring Traceway.
Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00101 | $0.04724 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00040 | $0.01890 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00020 | $0.00945 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00472 |
Grade C, and why
traceway-write scanned grade C with 2 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 16d 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.

Traceway with write access
This skill drives the traceway-write CLI (or the write MCP server) to make the routine changes an on-call engineer makes: archive issues, acknowledge and resolve pages, snooze or toggle alert rules, run monitors, write post-mortems and mark slow endpoints.
To explain how a part of Traceway works before or after a change (what acknowledging a page does to escalation, how a snooze differs from disabling a rule, how a monitor opens an incident), use the traceway-learn skill. It is the full product guide. Over MCP the same guide is the traceway://knowledge/learn resources.
For pure investigation (debugging an issue, latency analysis), the read-only traceway skill has the deeper playbooks. Its commands work the same way here: every read command of traceway also exists in traceway-write.
If a
traceway-writeMCP server is connected (stdiotraceway-write mcp, orhttps://<instance>/mcp/write), prefer its tools over shelling out. Its resources carry this skill's knowledge, and its tool names are listed in the table below.
Setup
1. Install the write CLI
traceway-write is a separate binary with its own login, so a read-only traceway install can never be upgraded to write in place.
curl -fsSL https://cli.tracewayapp.com/install.sh | sh -s -- --write
traceway-write version
Prebuilt archives are on the releases page under cli/vX.Y.Z tags as traceway-write_<version>_<os>_<arch>.tar.gz. From source: cd traceway/cli && go build -tags write -o bin/traceway-write ./cmd/traceway.
2. Log in with write access
Ask the user to run the browser login themselves (in Claude Code: ! traceway-write login --url https://<instance>). The approval page says the login asks for read and write access.
traceway-write login --url https://<instance>
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.

traceway-write is a skill published in the GitHub repository tracewayapp/traceway (1,757 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 101 tokens to every session and 4,724 once invoked, about $0.0004 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (downloads and executes remote code, makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-10-16.
