# Export the observability trace for a context

> Returns the execution traces for the context — LLM calls, tool
executions, and token usage — in OpenInference format. Traces are
ordered newest-first and paginated; each page returns up to `pageSize`
traces with their spans inlined.

  title: Corti Agent API v2
  version: 2.0.0
  summary: Manage agents and converse with them over the A2A v1.0 protocol.
  description: >
    Version 2 of the Corti Agents REST API.


    ## What's new in v2


    - **Unified `connectors`** — a single, flat, discriminated array replaces
    the
      v1 split between `experts`, `mcpServers`, and sub-agents. The envelope is
      extensible: new connector kinds (`a2a`, `openapi`, `custom`) slot in behind
      the `type` discriminator without breaking changes.
    - **Clean CRUD verbs** — `POST` creates, `GET` fetches/lists, `PATCH`
    performs
      a *true* partial update, `DELETE` removes. v1's PATCH was effectively a PUT.
    - **First-class metadata** — `visibility`, `model`, `lifecycle` (now a body
      field, not a query param), and free-form `labels`.

    ## A2A v1.0 only


    The conversational surface speaks **A2A protocol version `1.0` exclusively**

    (both the `JSONRPC` and `HTTP+JSON` bindings). The deprecated v0.3 binding
    from

    v1 is intentionally not carried forward.


    Per A2A §3.6, clients MUST send the `A2A-Version` header (`Major.Minor`,
    e.g.

    `1.0`) on every request to the `/a2a/*` surface, or supply it as the

    `A2A-Version` query parameter. This surface implements `1.0` only; an absent

    header is treated as `1.0`. Patch versions MUST NOT be sent. The server
    echoes

    the negotiated version in the `A2A-Version` response header.


    ## Partial updates (PATCH)


    `PATCH` uses **JSON Merge Patch** semantics (RFC 7386), served under the

    `application/merge-patch+json` media type:


    - **Omit a field** → left unchanged.

    - **`null`** → cleared / reset to its default.

    - **Arrays** (e.g. `connectors`) → *replaced wholesale*, never merged.


    To mutate a single connector without replacing the whole array, use the

    `/connectors` sub-resource endpoints.


    ## Streaming (Server-Sent Events)


    The streaming A2A surfaces — `message/stream`, `tasks/subscribe`, and the

    streaming JSON-RPC methods — respond with `text/event-stream`. The

    `text/event-stream` media type carries a sequence of Server-Sent Events;

    the attached schema describes a single event frame. Every event's `data`

    field is a string carrying a JSON document (`contentMediaType:

    application/json`); `contentSchema` declares the parsed payload

    (`StreamResponse` for the `HTTP+JSON` binding, `JSONRPCResponse` for the

    `JSONRPC` binding). The optional `id` field carries the SSE event id used

    for resumption via the `Last-Event-ID` request header.

        - **Standard** — when the error chain contains at least one
        `PublicError`,
          `code` and `message` come from the outermost `PublicError` and `details`
          is merged across the whole chain (outer values take precedence).
        - **Fallback** — when the chain contains no `PublicError`, the response
        is
          a generic `500` carrying a `requestId` for support reference.
        - **Validation** — a single `PublicError` whose
        `details.validationErrors`
          lists the offending fields.

        Field names use camelCase on the wire (e.g. `requestId`, `howToFix`).

        The free-form `details` object may carry arbitrary caller-defined keys.


        Rate limiting (HTTP 429) is not yet implemented; the server does not
        emit a 429 response.
