Pull request #5: Implement audit system for agentic interactions
Author: login: Copilot
Created: 2025-05-22T09:15:54Z | Merged: 2025-05-22T17:21:03Z

This PR adds a comprehensive audit system to Mojentic to make agentic interactions observable and traceable. The audit system provides a way to track major system events like LLM calls, tool usage, and agent interactions.

## Key Components

### Audit Events
- Created `AuditEvent` base class extending the core `Event` class
- Implemented specific audit event types:
  - `LLMCallAuditEvent` - Records LLM calls with messages and parameters
  - `LLMResponseAuditEvent` - Records LLM responses with content and timing
  - `ToolCallAuditEvent` - Records tool usage with arguments and results
  - `AgentInteractionAuditEvent` - Records agent communication

### EventStore
Enhanced the existing `EventStore` with:
- Filtering by event type, time range, and custom filters
- Methods to get the last N events
- Clear method to reset the store

### AuditSystem
Created a central system for recording and querying audit events:
- Configurable (can be enabled/disabled)
- Convenient methods to record different types of events
- Query interface with filtering capabilities

### Integration with Core Components
- Added optional audit system integration with `LLMBroker`
- Added optional audit system integration with `Dispatcher`
- Added optional audit system integration with `LLMTool`

### Documentation and Examples
- Created documentation explaining the audit system in `docs/audit.md`
- Added example script in `src/_examples/audit_demo.py`
- Updated navigation to include the audit documentation

## Usage Example

```python
from mojentic.audit.audit_system import AuditSystem
from mojentic.audit.audit_events import LLMCallAuditEvent
from mojentic.llm.llm_broker import LLMBroker

# Create and use the audit system
audit_system = AuditSystem()
llm = LLMBroker("model-name", audit_system=audit_system)

# Later, query events
llm_calls = audit_system.get_events(event_type=LLMCallAuditEvent)
```

The implementation distinguishes auditing from regular logging, addressing the requirement for a system that helps users troubleshoot prompts in agentic systems.

Linked issue #2: Make agentic interactions auditable
Observable might be another word for this.

This basically means setting up some kind of observability layer, ideally our own simplistic one that we can plug into other observability frameworks later. I'd like to be able to, after the fact, trace through the major events of the system, like calling a tool, calling an LLM, calling an agent.

I'm torn how this might look, because I think it will be functionally very close to what we have here for structured logging, but logging and observability are not the same thing, nor do they serve the same purpose I think. Logging is more a developer concern, but observability is something average users may want to utilize in order to troubleshoot prompts in agentic systems.

It's worth exploring and discarding a spike or two to explore how this might look before settling in on an implementation.

+# Tracer System
+
+The Mojentic tracer system provides observability into agentic interactions, allowing you to trace through the major events in your application such as LLM calls, tool usage, and agent interactions.
+
+## Overview
+
+The tracer system is designed to be:
+- **Non-intrusive**: It can be added to existing code with minimal changes
+- **Configurable**: You can enable/disable tracing as needed
+- **Extensible**: You can filter and query tracer events in various ways
+- **Comprehensive**: It captures key events across the system
+
+## Key Components
+
+### TracerEvent
+
+The base class for all tracer events, extending the core `Event` class. All tracer events include:
+- `source`: The type of the component that created the event
+- `correlation_id`: A unique identifier for related events
+- `timestamp`: When the event occurred
+
+### Specific Tracer Event Types
+
+- **LLMCallTracerEvent**: Records when an LLM is called with specific messages
+- **LLMResponseTracerEvent**: Records when an LLM responds to a call
+- **ToolCallTracerEvent**: Records when a tool is called during agent execution
+- **AgentInteractionTracerEvent**: Records interactions between agents
+
+### EventStore
+
+The `EventStore` class stores and manages tracer events, providing methods to:
+- Store events
+- Filter events by type, time range, or custom filters
+- Get the latest events
+- Clear the event store
+
+### TracerSystem
+
+The central system for recording and querying tracer events with convenient methods to:
+- Record various types of events (LLM calls, tool usage, agent interactions)
+- Query events with various filters
+- Enable/disable tracing
+
+## Adding Tracing to Your Application
+
+The tracer system integrates with key components:
+
+1. **With LLMBroker**:
+   ```python
+   tracer_system = TracerSystem()
+   llm = LLMBroker("model-name", tracer=tracer_system)
+   ```
+
+2. **With Dispatcher**:
+   ```python
+   dispatcher = Dispatcher(router, tracer=tracer_system)
+   ```
+
+3. **With Tools**:
+   ```python
+   tool = SomeTool(tracer=tracer_system)
+   # Or
+   tool = SomeTool()
+   tool.set_tracer_system(tracer_system)
+   ```
+
+## Querying Tracer Events
+
+Retrieve and filter tracer events:
+
+```python
+# Get all tracer events
+all_events = tracer_system.get_events()
+
+# Filter by event type
+llm_calls = tracer_system.get_events(event_type=LLMCallTracerEvent)
+
+# Filter by time range
+recent_events = tracer_system.get_events(
+    start_time=time.time() - 3600,  # Events in the last hour
+    end_time=time.time()
+)
+
+# Get the last N events of a specific type
+last_tool_calls = tracer_system.get_last_n_tracer_events(
+    n=5, 
+    event_type=ToolCallTracerEvent
+)
+
+# Custom filtering
+failed_calls = tracer_system.get_events(
+    filter_func=lambda e: isinstance(e, ToolCallTracerEvent) and "error" in str(e.result)
+)
+```
+
+## Complete Example
+
+See the full example in `src/_examples/tracer_demo.py` for a demonstration of setting up and using the tracer system.
+
+```python
+from mojentic.tracer.tracer_system import TracerSystem
+from mojentic.llm.llm_broker import LLMBroker
+
+# Create tracer system
+tracer_system = TracerSystem()
+
+# Create LLM broker with tracer system
+llm = LLMBroker("model-name", tracer=tracer_system)
+
+# Set up router and dispatcher
+router = Router({...})
+dispatcher = Dispatcher(router, tracer=tracer_system)
+
+# Later, query events
+llm_calls = tracer_system.get_events(event_type=LLMCallTracerEvent)
+for event in llm_calls:
+    print(f"LLM call to {event.model} at {datetime.fromtimestamp(event.timestamp)}")
+```
+
+## Tracer System vs. Logging
+
+While the tracer system may seem similar to logging, they serve different purposes:
+
+| Feature | Tracer System | Logging |
+|---------|--------------|---------|
+| **Primary Audience** | End users & Developers | Developers |
+| **Focus** | System behavior & interactions | Technical details & debugging |
+| **Structure** | Strongly typed events | Free-form messages |
+| **Query Capability** | Structured filtering & retrieval | Text search |
+| **Use Case** | Troubleshooting prompts in agentic systems | Debugging code issues |
+
+The tracer system complements rather than replaces traditional logging, providing a higher-level view focused on agentic interactions.

+# Tracer System
+
+The Mojentic tracer system provides observability into agentic interactions, allowing you to trace through the major events in your application such as LLM calls, tool usage, and agent interactions.
+
+## Overview
+
+The tracer system is designed to be:
+- **Non-intrusive**: It can be added to existing code with minimal changes
+- **Configurable**: You can enable/disable tracing as needed
+- **Extensible**: You can filter and query tracer events in various ways
+- **Comprehensive**: It captures key events across the system
+
+## Key Components
+
+### TracerEvent
+
+The base class for all tracer events, extending the core `Event` class. All tracer events include:
+- `source`: The type of the component that created the event
+- `correlation_id`: A unique identifier for related events
+- `timestamp`: When the event occurred
+
+### Specific Tracer Event Types
+
+- **LLMCallTracerEvent**: Records when an LLM is called with specific messages
+- **LLMResponseTracerEvent**: Records when an LLM responds to a call
+- **ToolCallTracerEvent**: Records when a tool is called during agent execution
+- **AgentInteractionTracerEvent**: Records interactions between agents
+
+### EventStore
+
+The `EventStore` class stores and manages tracer events, providing methods to:
+- Store events
+- Filter events by type, time range, or custom filters
+- Get the latest events
+- Clear the event store
+
+### TracerSystem
+
+The central system for recording and querying tracer events with convenient methods to:
+- Record various types of events (LLM calls, tool usage, agent interactions)
+- Query events with various filters
+- Enable/disable tracing
+
+## Adding Tracing to Your Application
+
+The tracer system integrates with key components:
+
+1. **With LLMBroker**:
+   ```python
+   tracer_system = TracerSystem()
+   llm = LLMBroker("model-name", tracer_system=tracer_system)
path: docs/tracer.md
user: login: svetzal
body: `tracer_system` in that initializer is pretty verbose. Let's just call it `tracer`. The feature can still be called a Tracer System, it's just this kind of code-level thing that I'd like to be simpler and less verbose.

body: I've simplified the parameter name from `tracer_system` to `tracer` throughout the codebase as requested. The changes were minimal and focused on the parameter names in method signatures while preserving the internal attribute names. All tests are passing. Changes are in commit 9bca2c9.

body: I've refactored the code to use proper OO principles by adding a `printable_summary` method to the `TracerEvent` class and its subclasses. Each event type now knows how to format itself instead of using attribute checks. This makes the code more maintainable and encapsulated. The example has been updated to simply call this method. Changes are in commit 12df01b.

body: The _examples scripts are for developers to learn how to use the Mojentic library. This code here is just illustrating some internals that the developer will never actually do themselves. They need to know how to use the public aspects of the library, not how to create synthetic events. How about an example that actually gets the library to do something, and then prints the trace summaries.

I've renamed the "Audit" system to "Tracer" system throughout the codebase as requested. All classes, methods, parameters and documentation have been updated to use "Tracer" terminology instead of "Audit". All tests for the tracer module are passing. The renaming is applied in commit 4451903.

I've removed all old audit-related files, updated documentation references, and ensured all tests pass with the new system. The changes were completed in commits 4451903 (initial renaming) and fd1f599 (removal of old audit files).

I've simplified the code by:

1. Renaming `self.tracer_system` property to `self.tracer` in Dispatcher, LLMBroker, and LLMTool classes
2. Removing the `set_tracer_system` methods from all three classes as requested
3. Updated the example code to use the constructor parameter instead of the setter method

All tests are passing. Changes are in commit 3421021.
