This article introduces agentic TRACE, an open-source framework designed to build LLM-powered data analysis agents that eliminate data hallucinations. TRACE shifts the LLM's role from analyst to orchestrator, ensuring all computations are deterministic and data-driven. The framework achieves this by having the LLM work with metadata instead of raw data, relying on the database as the source of truth, and providing a complete audit trail. Example use cases demonstrate the system's ability to deliver verifiable results on inexpensive models like Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite. The author provides a quick start guide and encourages contributions to the project.
This article introduces agentic TRACE, an open-source framework designed to build LLM-powered data analysis agents that eliminate data hallucinations. TRACE shifts the LLM's role from analyst to orchestrator, ensuring the LLM never directly touches the data. All computations are deterministic and executed by code, using the database as the single source of truth. The framework emphasizes auditability, security, and the ability to run effectively on inexpensive models. The author provides examples and a quick start guide for implementing TRACE, highlighting its potential for building verifiable agents across various data domains.
