There was a problem hiding this comment.
Do you want to add it to span.gen_ai.invoke_agent.client?
Also please add a changelog as well, thanks

I would like to see a real life example where id, name, role, and description all exist and are different. |

Changes
Add a role attribute to GenAI agent spans to help categorize the type of "agent" for various use cases.
Note: The agent's assigned role may differ from its name.
Note: if the PR is touching an area that is not listed in the existing areas, or the area does not have sufficient domain experts coverage, the PR might be tagged as experts needed and move slowly until experts are identified.
