Sf AI Agentforce Observability

sf-ai-agentforce-observability: Agentforce Session Tracing Extraction & Analysis

Use this skill when the user needs trace-based observability, not just testing: extract Session Tracing Data Model (STDM) records, work with Parquet datasets, reconstruct session timelines, analyze topic/action latency, or debug agent behavior from Data 360 telemetry.

When This Skill Owns the Task

Use sf-ai-agentforce-observability when the work involves:

• Data 360 / Session Tracing extraction
• .parquet files from Agentforce telemetry
• session timeline reconstruction
• trace-driven debugging of topic routing, action failures, or latency
• Polars / PyArrow-based analysis of large telemetry datasets

Delegate elsewhere when the user is:

• formally testing agents → sf-ai-agentforce-testing
• debugging Apex logs → sf-debug
• authoring or reconfiguring the agent itself → sf-ai-agentforce or sf-ai-agentscript

Prerequisites That Must Exist

Before extraction, verify:

• Data 360 is enabled
• Session Tracing is enabled
• the Salesforce Standard Data Model version is sufficient
• Einstein / Agentforce capabilities are enabled in the org
• JWT / ECA auth for Data 360 access is configured

If auth is missing, hand off to:

• sf-connected-apps

What This Skill Works With

Core storage / analysis model

• extraction via Data 360 APIs
• Parquet for storage efficiency
• Polars for large-scale lazy analysis

Core STDM entities

At minimum, expect work around:

• session
• interaction / turn
• interaction step
• moment
• message

GenAI Trust Layer / audit records may also be relevant for content-quality and generation debugging.

Required Context to Gather First

Ask for or infer:

• target org alias
• time window or date range
• agent filter, if any
• whether the goal is extraction, summary analysis, or single-session debugging
• output location for extracted data
• whether the user already has Parquet files on disk

Recommended Workflow

1. Verify setup and auth

Confirm Data 360 tracing exists and JWT/ECA auth is working.

2. Choose the extraction mode

3. Extract to Parquet

Use the provided scripts under scripts/ rather than reimplementing extraction logic.

4. Analyze with Polars

Common analysis goals:

• session volume and duration
• topic distribution
• action step failures
• latency hotspots
• abandonment / escalation patterns
• session-level timeline reconstruction

5. Convert findings into next actions

Typical outcomes:

• topic mismatch → improve routing or descriptions
• action failure → inspect Flow / Apex implementation
• latency issue → optimize downstream action path
• test gap → add targeted agent tests

High-Signal Operational Rules

• treat STDM as read-only telemetry
• expect ingestion lag; this is not perfect real-time debugging
• use date filters and focused extraction to avoid unnecessary volume / query cost
• prefer Parquet over ad hoc JSON for durable analysis
• use lazy Polars patterns for large datasets

Common pitfalls:

• assuming missing data means no issue, when tracing may simply not be enabled
• running huge broad queries without date or agent filters
• trying to fix the agent inside this skill instead of handing off to authoring / testing skills

Output Format

When finishing, report in this order:

1. What data was extracted or analyzed
2. Scope (org, dates, agent filter, session IDs)
3. Key findings
4. Likely root causes
5. Recommended next skill / next action

Suggested shape:

Observability task: <extract / analyze / debug-session>
Scope: <org, dates, agents, session ids>
Artifacts: <directories / parquet files>
Findings: <latency, routing, action, quality, abandonment patterns>
Root cause: <best current explanation>
Next step: <testing, agent fix, flow fix, apex fix>
