Analyze and instrument repositories for Traceway observability. Use when the user wants to plan, add, migrate, or verify Traceway or OpenTelemetry monitoring for backend, browser, full-stack, mobile or iOS, or AI-agent software, including project topology and user-approved setup-plan creation. Backends use OTLP/HTTP; browser frontends and independently released mobile clients use separate Traceway SDK projects. Accept either an existing project token and instance URL or an organization setup…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Set Up Traceway

Analyze the application first, agree on its Traceway project structure with the user, help them create that structure in the dashboard, and only then integrate and verify it.

## Operating Contract

- Inspect before asking for credentials or changing code.
- Explain what was detected, what is already tracked, and how each production component should report to Traceway.
- Present a proposed project map and wait for the user to confirm it before implementation.
- There are two classes of credentials, treated differently:
  - **Setup tokens** (prefix `tws_`) are org-scoped, expire in 6 hours, and can only propose a setup plan; nothing is created until the user approves the plan on the Traceway website. They are designed to transit chat, and asking the user to paste one is expected.
  - **Project ingest tokens and upload tokens** are long-lived. Never print their values, never ask the user to paste them into chat, and never commit them. When Step 3's apply script (or the `traceway` CLI) writes an approved plan's ingest tokens into env files, read only the variable names and statuses from its output, never the values.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add tracewayapp/traceway/traceway-setup@sha256:a4abf9962c6b7b55

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261012.062e532, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
