Instrument Anthropic SDK

Recipe — instrument the Anthropic SDK. Pointer to the canonical SDK samples.

Canonical sample: samples/integrations/anthropic_traced.py — captures multi-turn Claude conversations via manual trace upload.

For zero-code auto-instrumentation, the Anthropic provider adapter (layerlens.instrument) is the preferred path:

pip install 'layerlens[providers-anthropic]'

The adapter emits model.invoke, cost.record, and tool.call events for every Anthropic Messages API call (including streaming with single consolidated event on stream completion). Cache metadata included.
