This piece is in progress — check back soon.
We're publishing the full technical walkthrough shortly: implementing Data &
Information Observability (D/I O11y) at the protocol level, using MCP tool-call
interception as the telemetry source and joining OpenTelemetry traces with
OpenLineage events into a single, verifiable, end-to-end semantic lineage
record.
Strategic framework: this build implements the model set out in [From Tools
to Traces: Why MCP is the Key to Agentic Data
Lineage](https://www.bearingnode.com/post/agentic-lineage-mcp-dio11y) — read
that first for the governance case this makes technically real.
