The agent tracing feature, or its equivalent like the conversation review function, is a diagnostic tool. Its primary purpose is to allow developers and administrators to inspect individual interactions with the agent or system. By selecting a specific session or prompt, users can analyze the entire execution flow, including the initial user inputs, the system's processing steps, the final outputs, and associated performance metrics like latency. This detailed view is crucial for debugging issues, optimizing performance, and understanding the agent's behavior in specific scenarios.

A. To update agent security permissions based on detected access vulnerabilities

This is incorrect. Tracing is a read-only, analytical function for observing behavior, not a tool for modifying security configurations or permissions.

C. To modify an agent's security roles directly from the trace files

This is incorrect. Trace files are logs for review and analysis. They are not an interface for performing administrative tasks like modifying security roles.

1. Oracle Digital Assistant Documentation - Review Conversations on the Conversations Page: While the term "agent tracing" is general

its function is embodied in the "Conversations" page within Oracle Digital Assistant (a related Oracle conversational AI technology). The documentation states

"The Conversations page provides a 360-degree view of the conversations that users have with your digital assistant and skills. You can use it to troubleshoot problems... For each turn in the conversation

you can review the processing details..." This aligns directly with reviewing prompts to analyze inputs

outputs

and performance.

2. Oracle Intelligent Advisor Documentation - Debug an interview: The principle of tracing for analysis is also central to the Oracle Intelligent Advisor debugger. The documentation explains its use to "step through the interview one screen at a time"

"view and change data"

and "see explanations for decisions". This process of reviewing specific steps to analyze inputs (data) and outputs (decisions) is functionally identical to the purpose described in the correct answer.
