The reliability workflow
Connect traces
Bring in traces from supported integrations or instrument turns and tool calls with the SDK or ingestion API.
Define evaluators
Discover repeated workflows and draft versioned evaluators that make the business decision and evidence explicit.
Review and validate
Review real examples and source evidence. Calibration, independent validation, and owner approval gate any production use.
How the signal flows
Tensile can receive new events from the SDK or ingestion API, or import existing traces from a supported connector. The exact data available depends on the source and its configuration.1
Instrument
Connect a supported source such as Braintrust or Langfuse, or instrument your own turns and tool calls with the Tensile SDK, MCP wrapper, or ingestion API.
2
Ingest
Tensile normalizes source records into trace sessions and events. Events retain their parent relationships and source identity when the source provides them.
3
Distill
Workflow discovery and evaluator authoring use the available trace and source evidence. Reviewers see the question, answer criteria, and supporting evidence for eligible cases.
4
Improve
A draft pack is not a live score. Calibration, sealed validation, and authorized owner approval must pass before a pack can be promoted for production use.

Quickstart
Connect a source or send an event, then follow the steps to check that Tensile can read its trace data.
Data handling
How to keep user data pseudonymous, allowlist metadata, and redact sensitive content before it leaves your app.
Evaluator packs
Learn how packs move from discovered workflows and draft definitions through human review and validation gates.
Verified work
Follow an Outcome case from the agent’s claim to destination evidence, then inspect Readiness and Changes.
Connect a trace source
Connect a Braintrust or Langfuse workspace and understand what a trace connection does.
Tensile supports multiple trace sources and agent stacks. Available features depend on the connected source, organization configuration, and evaluator approval state.
