## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Exports OpenTelemetry data to an OpenTelemetry Collector using the OTLP protocol over gRPC with Protobuf serialization.

Verdict: Production-ready exporter maintained by the OpenTelemetry project with no known vulnerabilities, permissive licensing, and low install friction. Suitable for applications sending observability data to an OpenTelemetry Collector via gRPC.
