Short answer

How can I use AI to debug ML execution spans?

Your AI pulls trace data from Arize AI to find latency or errors in your model runs. It scans your project history to highlight the exact spans causing issues. You get a clear view of the bottlenecks.

Where your data lands.

Debugging outcomes.

The AI organizes trace information into actionable categories.

LATENCY

Slow execution spans

The AI identifies specific spans with high duration. You get a list of the exact steps dragging down your performance.

ERRORS

Failed model runs

The AI finds spans that returned errors. It isolates the specific trace IDs that need your attention.

PROJECTS

Active ML projects

The AI lists your available projects. This lets you narrow your search to a specific model or deployment.

HUMAN

Manual code fixes

The AI points out the problematic spans, but you still need to jump into your codebase to apply the actual logic changes.

The workflow

What your AI does when the request arrives.

The AI moves from broad project oversight to granular trace inspection.

  1. Identify the project

    The AI looks at your available ML workloads to find the right context for your query.

    list_projects

  2. Locate specific traces

    Once the project is set, the AI pulls the individual execution spans you asked about.

    list_spans

  3. Analyze span data

    The AI reviews the timing and status of the retrieved spans to find outliers.

    list_spans

  4. Summarize bottlenecks

    The AI presents a clear explanation of which spans are causing the most trouble.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI fix my model code directly?

    No. The AI can only read trace data and identify where the problems are. You have to make the code changes yourself.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete old traces in Arize AI?

    No. The tools only allow the AI to list projects and spans. It cannot modify or delete any data in your Arize account.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which project to look at?

    It uses the list_projects tool to see what you have available, then you tell it which one to inspect.

  • 04

    Does the AI see all my data?

    The AI only sees the project and span information it needs to answer your specific questions.

  • 05

    Can I use this with Cursor or Claude?

    Yes, as long as you are using an MCP-compatible client, you can use this Connector.
