Inject Context • AI Agent SDK

</div>

This is a method of the GatewayTraceHook class in the protocols module.

Write the active span context into `carrier` as W3C headers.

Called at an egress boundary (LLM / MCP / HTTP-tool request) so the downstream service’s spans nest under the current agent turn. A no-op when no exporter is attached, leaving `carrier` untouched.

Signature

def inject_context(carrier: 'MutableMapping[str, str]') -> None
