tracer_provider = register(
  project_name="agents", # Default is 'default'
  auto_instrument=True # Auto-instrument your app based on installed dependencies
)

Run your agentscode.

from agents import Agent, Runner

agent = Agent(name="Assistant", instructions="You are a helpful assistant")
result = Runner.run_sync(agent, "Write a haiku about recursion in programming.")
print(result.final_output)
