## AI interpretation — verify before relying

Automatically instruments FastAPI applications to emit OpenTelemetry traces for HTTP requests, enabling observability of web request handling and performance.

Verdict: A well-maintained, low-friction instrumentation library for FastAPI observability. Active development, permissive licensing, and zero known vulnerabilities make it suitable for production tracing pipelines, though Beta status warrants monitoring for API changes.
