What does this tool extract?

It extracts the trace ID, parent ID, and trace flags from a W3C TraceContext `traceparent_header`.

How does it validate the header?

It uses a strict RegExp pattern (version-traceid-parentid-flags) and verifies that the trace ID is 32 hex characters and not all zeros.

Is it compatible with standard W3C headers?

Yes, it is specifically designed to parse the `traceparent` header following the W3C TraceContext specification.

The OpenTelemetry Trace Context Extractor solves the observability problem of broken traces across agent hops. By using the extract_trace_context tool, you can provide a W3C TraceContext traceparent header and receive precisely parsed fields including trace ID, parent ID, and trace flags. The extractor uses strict regex validation (version-traceid-parentid-flags) and V8 string splitting to ensure deterministic results, verifying that the trace ID is a valid 3arget 32 hex characters and not all zeros.
