Test and Inspect Traces

Use Studio's Test tab to try the Flow while you edit it.

  1. Open Test.
  2. Enter a short message and send it.
  3. Confirm that the response follows the System Prompt.
  4. Send a follow-up that depends on the previous message to verify memory.
  5. Ask a question whose answer exists only in your Index to verify retrieval.

For a grounded agent, enable Show Sources in Chat Settings when you want to inspect returned source details.

Inspect a request

Select View trace on a response, or open the Trace tab to review request history. The table shows the request input, output, status, and channel.

Open a trace to inspect node inputs, outputs, timing, and tool calls. For an indexed answer, confirm that Search Index ran and returned evidence relevant to the final response. This is the fastest way to distinguish a retrieval problem from a prompt or model problem.

See Debugging for a deeper trace workflow.
