💡 Tip of the Day
If your legal-agent stack needs better auditability, start with OTEL today:
export OTEL_EXPORTER_OTLP_ENDPOINT=http://otel.local:4318
export OTEL_SERVICE_NAME=lawful-ai-agent
Then log model/provider/tool-call metadata per run so you can answer compliance questions with receipts, not vibes.
