bctrl traces get
Read a trace as OpenTelemetry spans built from its Events: every API request is a server span, a Task an invoke_agent span with its LLM calls (chat) and tool uses beneath it, following the GenAI semantic conventions (pinned, named in semconv). Send a W3C traceparent on any request to continue your own trace into BCTRL; Runs and Tasks carry their traceId.
