Overview

This guide shows you how to integrate Latitude Telemetry into an application that uses the Google Agent Development Kit (ADK) (google-adk for Python). Latitude includes dedicated instrumentation for Google ADK, so agent runs, model generations, and tool calls appear as traces.
You’ll keep calling Google ADK exactly as you do today. Telemetry observes agent runs, model calls, and tool calls as they happen.
Google ADK instrumentation is available in the Python SDK only.

Requirements

  • A Latitude account and API key
  • A Latitude project slug
  • A project that uses Google ADK (google-adk)
  • A Gemini API key (set as GOOGLE_API_KEY)

Steps

1

Install

2

Initialize and use


What you get

Each agent run shows up as a trace with nested spans:
  • Agent spans — agent name, instructions, and configured tools
  • Generation spans — model, input/output messages, and token usage
  • Tool spans — tool calls with input arguments and output
Wrap a request or job with capture() to attach a user_id, session_id, tags, or metadata to every span produced inside.

Seeing Your Traces

Once connected, traces appear automatically in Latitude:
  1. Open your project in the Latitude dashboard
  2. Each agent run shows the full hierarchy of agent → generation → tool calls
  3. Token usage and latency are aggregated at every level
