DeepSeek Harness

DeepSeek Harness observability usually means standing up an OpenTelemetry collector, a tracing backend, and code instrumentation. The TencentCloud AgentObs SDK for DSH eliminates all of that: it is a DeepSeek Harness plugin that observes the harness’s native session, agent-loop, LLM-stream, and tool lifecycles and uploads GenAI trace spans directly to Tencent Cloud Log Service (CLS) using Protobuf. There is no OTLP collector, no sidecar, and no extra service to deploy. If you already run agents on Tencent Cloud, this is the fastest path from “where did my agent spend its tokens?” to a dashboards-and-alerts answer. ...

dsh-whale-meter is a one-line-install, zero-configuration plugin for DeepSeek Harness (DSH) that turns your raw token usage into five gamified tiers — from 🐟 small fry to 🐳 blue whale — and estimates your spend in CNY or USD, all stored locally on your machine with no telemetry and no network calls. It went from a nice-to-have to a budgeting necessity on August 17, 2026, when DeepSeek raised v4-flash and v4-pro prices and introduced peak/off-peak billing. This guide explains exactly what it tracks, how the new pricing works, and whether it beats the alternative cost-tracking tools. ...

OpenTelemetry tracing for DeepSeek Harness lets you export every agent session, LLM call, and tool invocation as a standard OTLP trace tree to backends like Jaeger, Grafana Tempo, SigNoz, or Langfuse. You add it by installing a community plugin that implements the official @deepseek-ai/dsh-session-telemetry seam, configure an OTLP endpoint and a privacy mode, and then read the GenAI trace tree to debug agent loops, retries, and token usage. What is DeepSeek Harness and why it needs tracing DeepSeek Harness is the official open-source agent framework from DeepSeek, written in TypeScript with the tagline “Everything is a Plugin.” Its official repository has roughly 123,000 GitHub stars, making it one of the most popular agent harnesses in the ecosystem. The framework orchestrates multi-step agent loops: it plans, calls LLMs, invokes tools, spawns subagents, and retries failed steps. Each of those steps is a potential failure point, and without tracing you are effectively debugging a black box. ...

The DeepSeek Harness terminal UI (dsh-tianshu-tui) is an official plugin that turns the DeepSeek Harness CLI into a full interactive terminal workspace, with live rendering, session restore, image support, and a TDD-driven evidence gate. It is a pure display layer that derives all agent state from the session event stream, so it adds no prompts, tools, or context of its own. This review covers what it does, how to install it, and how it compares to the other DeepSeek Harness TUIs. ...
