 OpenTelemetry provides a local collector with a debug exporter which logs all traces, logs, and metrics to stdout.

-#### Tool Wrapping
-
-Use `BraintrustLangchain.wrapTools()` to automatically trace tool executions in your LangChain4j agents:
-
-```java
-// Create your tool class
-public class WeatherTools {
-    @Tool("Get current weather for a location")
-    public String getWeather(String location) {
-        return "The weather in " + location + " is sunny.";
-    }
-}
-
-// Wrap tools to create spans for each tool execution
-WeatherTools tools = new WeatherTools();
-WeatherTools instrumentedTools = BraintrustLangchain.wrapTools(openTelemetry, tools);
-
-// Use instrumented tools in your AI service
-Assistant assistant = AiServices.builder(Assistant.class)
-    .chatModel(model)
-    .tools(instrumentedTools)
-    .build();
-```
-
-Each tool call will automatically create an OpenTelemetry span in Braintrust with:
-- Tool name and parameters
-- Execution duration
-- Return values
-- Any exceptions thrown
-
-**Note:** For proper display in the Braintrust UI, ensure parent spans (conversation, turn, etc.) also set the required Braintrust attributes:
-```java
-var span = tracer.spanBuilder("my-span").startSpan();
-span.setAttribute("braintrust.span_attributes", "{\"type\":\"task\",\"name\":\"my-span\"}");
-span.setAttribute("braintrust.input_json", "{\"user_message\":\"...\"}");
-// ... do work ...
-span.setAttribute("braintrust.output_json", "{\"result\":\"...\"}");
-span.end();
-```
-
-See [LangchainToolWrappingExample.java](./examples/src/main/java/dev/braintrust/examples/LangchainToolWrappingExample.java) for a complete example with proper span hierarchy.
