Short evidence fragment

Status: Development

Researcher’s reading note

Agent conventions include agent invocation, workflow, planning and tool execution spans, with agent/version fields.

Limits and use

Development status; a semantic convention does not imply every SDK or hosting provider emits every field. Business task/outcome IDs remain an application responsibility.

Retention

This card preserves a short evidence fragment and an original reading note; full source text is not copied. FinOps/FOCUS adaptations should credit the FinOps Foundation / FOCUS as applicable (their pages state CC BY 4.0). Re-open mutable documentation before implementing controls.
