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

Expert in extracting and analyzing Agentforce session tracing data from Salesforce Data 360. Supports high-volume data extraction (1-10M records/day), Parquet storage, and Polars-based analysis for debugging agent behavior.

## Core Responsibilities

1. **Session Extraction**: Extract STDM (Session Tracing Data Model) data via Data 360 Query API
2. **Data Storage**: Write to Parquet format with PyArrow for efficient storage
3. **Analysis**: Polars-based lazy evaluation for memory-efficient analysis
4. **Debugging**: Session timeline reconstruction for troubleshooting agent issues
5. **Cross-Skill Integration**: Works with sf-connected-apps for auth, sf-ai-agentscript for fixes

## CRITICAL: Prerequisites Checklist

Before extracting session data, verify:

| Check | How to Verify | Why |
|-------|---------------|-----|
| **Data 360 enabled** | Setup → Data 360 | Required for Query API |
| **Salesforce Standard Data Model v1.124+** | Setup → Apps → Packaging → Installed Packages | Required for session tracing DMOs |
| **Einstein Generative AI enabled** | Setup → Einstein Generative AI | Enables agent capabilities |
| **Session Tracing enabled** | Setup → Einstein Audit, Analytics, and Monitoring | Must toggle ON to collect data |
| **JWT Auth configured** | Use `sf-connected-apps` | Required for Data 360 API |

> **Official Setup Guide**: [Set Up Agentforce Session Tracing](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.generative_ai_session_trace_setup.htm)

### Auth Setup (via sf-connected-apps)

```bash
# 1. Create key directory
mkdir -p ~/.sf/jwt

# 2. Generate certificate (naming convention: {org}-agentforce-observability)
openssl req -x509 -sha256 -nodes -days 365 -newkey rsa:2048 \
  -keyout ~/.sf/jwt/myorg-agentforce-observability.key \
  -out ~/.sf/jwt/myorg-agentforce-observability.crt \
  -subj "/CN=AgentforceObservability/O=MyOrg"

# 3. Secure the private key
chmod 600 ~/.sf/jwt/myorg-agentforce-observability.key

# 4. Create External Client App in Salesforce (see docs/auth-setup.md)
# Required scopes: cdp_query_api, refresh_token/offline_access
```

**Key Path Resolution Order:**
1. Explicit `--key-path` argument
2. App-specific: `~/.sf/jwt/{org}-agentforce-observability.key`
3. Generic fallback: `~/.sf/jwt/{org}.key`

See [docs/auth-setup.md](docs/auth-setup.md) for detailed instructions.

## Workflow (5-Phase Pattern)

### Phase 1: Requirements Gathering

Use **AskUserQuestion** to gather:

| # | Question | Options |
|---|----------|---------|
| 1 | Target org | Org alias from `sf org list` |
| 2 | Time range | Last N days / Date range |
| 3 | Agent filter | All agents / Specific API names |
| 4 | Output format | Parquet (default) / CSV |
| 5 | Analysis type | Summary / Debug session / Full extraction |

### Phase 2: Auth Configuration

Verify JWT auth is configured:

```python
from scripts.auth import Data360Auth

auth = Data360Auth(
    org_alias="myorg",
    consumer_key="YOUR_CONSUMER_KEY"
)

# Test authentication
token = auth.get_token()
print(f"Auth successful: {token[:20]}...")
```

If auth fails, invoke:
```
Skill(skill="sf-connected-apps", args="Setup JWT Bearer for Data 360")
```

### Phase 3: Extraction

**Basic Extraction (last 7 days):**
```bash
python3 scripts/cli.py extract \
  --org prod \
  --days 7 \
  --output ./stdm_data
```

**Filtered Extraction:**
```bash
python3 scripts/cli.py extract \
  --org prod \
  --since 2026-01-01 \
  --until 2026-01-28 \
  --agent Customer_Support_Agent \
  --output ./stdm_data
```

**Session Tree (specific session):**
```bash
python3 scripts/cli.py extract-tree \
  --org prod \
  --session-id "a0x..." \
  --output ./debug_session
```

### Phase 4: Analysis

**Session Summary:**
```python
from scripts.analyzer import STDMAnalyzer
from pathlib import Path

analyzer = STDMAnalyzer(Path("./stdm_data"))

# High-level summary
summary = analyzer.session_summary()
print(summary)

# Step distribution by agent
steps = analyzer.step_distribution(agent_name="Customer_Support_Agent")
print(steps)

# Topic routing analysis
topics = analyzer.topic_analysis()
print(topics)
```

**Debug Specific Session:**
```bash
python3 scripts/cli.py debug-session \
  --data-dir ./stdm_data \
  --session-id "a0x..."
```

### Phase 5: Integration & Next Steps

Based on analysis findings:

| Finding | Next Step | Skill |
|---------|-----------|-------|
| Topic mismatch | Improve topic descriptions | `sf-ai-agentscript` |
| Action failures | Debug Flow/Apex | `sf-flow`, `sf-debug` |
| Slow responses | Optimize actions | `sf-apex` |
| Missing coverage | Add test cases | `sf-ai-agentforce-testing` |

## Key Insights

| Insight | Description | Action |
|---------|-------------|--------|
| **STDM is read-only** | Data 360 stores traces; cannot modify | Use for analysis only |
| **Session lag** | Data may lag 5-15 minutes | Don't expect real-time |
| **Volume limits** | Query API: 10M records/day | Use incremental extraction |
| **Parquet efficiency** | 10x smaller than JSON | Always use Parquet for storage |
| **Lazy evaluation** | Polars scans without loading | Handles 100M+ rows |
| **~24 records per LLM call** | Each round-trip generates ~24 records | Factor into volume estimates |
| **5-minute collection interval** | Data collection runs every 5 minutes | Account for processing delay |

---

## Billing Considerations

> **Reference**: [Billing Considerations for Agentforce Session Tracing](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=ai.generative_ai_session_trace_usage_types.htm)

Agentforce Session Tracing consumes **Data 360 credits** for ingestion, storage, and processing.

### Credit Consumption

| Usage Type | Digital Wallet Card | Description |
|------------|---------------------|-------------|
| **Batch Data Pipeline** | Data Services | Records ingested via data streams. ~24 records per LLM round-trip. **Primary cost driver**. |
| **Data Queries** | Data Services | Records processed when running queries, reports, dashboards |
| **Streaming Calculated Insights** | Data Services | Used for Prompt Builder usage and feedback metrics |
| **Storage Beyond Allocation** | Data Storage | Storage consumed above allocated amount |

### Cost Estimation

```
Records per session ≈ Turns × 24 (avg per LLM call)
Daily records ≈ Sessions/day × Avg turns × 24

Example:
  1,000 sessions/day × 4 turns × 24 = 96,000 records/day ingested
```

**Tip**: Use [Digital Wallet](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=sf.digital_wallet.htm) for near real-time consumption tracking.

---

## Common Issues & Fixes

| Error | Cause | Fix |
|-------|-------|-----|
| `401 Unauthorized` | JWT auth expired/invalid | Refresh token or reconfigure ECA |
| `No session data` | Tracing not enabled | Enable Session Tracing in Agent Settings |
| `Query timeout` | Too much data | Add date filters, use incremental |
| `Memory error` | Loading all data | Use Polars lazy frames |
| `Missing DMO` | Wrong API version | Use API v60.0+ |

See [resources/troubleshooting.md](resources/troubleshooting.md) for detailed solutions.
