Summary

The Google GenAI Interactions API (client.interactions.*) is not instrumented. This is a publicly documented Beta API (available since google-genai SDK v1.55.0) that provides a unified interface for agentic applications with server-managed conversation state, background execution, and tool orchestration.

The Interactions API is distinct from the Live API tracked in #125. The Live API is WebSocket-based real-time bidirectional streaming; the Interactions API is a request/response API for server-managed agentic conversations where the server handles conversation history, tool execution, and multi-turn state.

What is missing

The following client.interactions.* methods produce zero Braintrust tracing:

MethodDescription
client.interactions.create()Create and execute an interaction (the primary inference call)
client.interactions.get()Retrieve a completed interaction
client.interactions.cancel()Cancel an in-progress interaction
client.interactions.delete()Delete an interaction

At minimum, interactions.create() should be instrumented with:

  • Interaction-level span: Capturing model config, input content, output content, token usage, and duration
  • Tool use spans: The Interactions API supports function calling, Google Search grounding, code execution, and MCP tools — tool calls and results should appear as nested spans
  • Multi-turn linkage: The API uses previous_interaction_id for server-side conversation state management; this relationship should be captured in span metadata to enable trace-level visibility into multi-turn conversations

Key distinguishing features from generate_content

  • Server manages conversation state via previous_interaction_id (no client-side history resending)
  • Supports long-running/background execution (e.g., Deep Research agent)
  • Supports streaming via the same create() call
  • Has its own content types (ToolCallContent, GoogleMapsContent, etc.)
  • Returns interaction status (COMPLETE, INCOMPLETE, etc.)

Current instrumentation coverage

Google GenAI MethodInstrumented?
models.generate_content()Yes
models.generate_content_stream()Yes
models.embed_content()Yes
models.generate_images()Yes
aio.live.connect()No (#125)
interactions.create()No
interactions.get()No

Braintrust docs status

not_found — the Gemini integration page documents generate_content, streaming, function calling, structured outputs, thinking tokens, context caching, and grounding, but does not mention the Interactions API.

Upstream sources

Local files inspected

  • py/src/braintrust/integrations/google_genai/patchers.py — defines 8 patchers (4 sync + 4 async) for generate_content, generate_content_stream, embed_content, generate_images; zero references to interactions
  • py/src/braintrust/integrations/google_genai/tracing.py — wrapper functions for the 4 patched method families; no interactions wrapper
  • py/src/braintrust/integrations/google_genai/integration.py — integration class registers the 8 patchers; no interactions patcher
  • py/src/braintrust/integrations/google_genai/test_google_genai.py — no interactions test cases
  • py/noxfile.py — test_google_genai(latest) session exists but does not test interactions

            Summary
            The Google GenAI Interactions API (client.interactions.*) is not instrumented. This is a publicly documented Beta API (available since google-genai SDK v1.55.0) that provides a unified interface for agentic applications with server-managed conversation state, background execution, and tool orchestration.
            The Interactions API is distinct from the Live API tracked in #125. The Live API is WebSocket-based real-time bidirectional streaming; the Interactions API is a request/response API for server-managed agentic conversations where the server handles conversation history, tool execution, and multi-turn state.
            What is missing
            The following client.interactions.* methods produce zero Braintrust tracing:
            MethodDescription
            client.interactions.create()Create and execute an interaction (the primary inference call)
            client.interactions.get()Retrieve a completed interaction
            client.interactions.cancel()Cancel an in-progress interaction
            client.interactions.delete()Delete an interaction
            At minimum, interactions.create() should be instrumented with:
            • Interaction-level span: Capturing model config, input content, output content, token usage, and duration
            • Tool use spans: The Interactions API supports function calling, Google Search grounding, code execution, and MCP tools — tool calls and results should appear as nested spans
            • Multi-turn linkage: The API uses previous_interaction_id for server-side conversation state management; this relationship should be captured in span metadata to enable trace-level visibility into multi-turn conversations
            Key distinguishing features from generate_content
            • Server manages conversation state via previous_interaction_id (no client-side history resending)
            • Supports long-running/background execution (e.g., Deep Research agent)
            • Supports streaming via the same create() call
            • Has its own content types (ToolCallContent, GoogleMapsContent, etc.)
            • Returns interaction status (COMPLETE, INCOMPLETE, etc.)
