Feature & Specification Comparison

Specification	Agentlens agentkitai Monitoring	Mcp Telemetry arnavranjan005 Monitoring
Summary	Tamper-evident observability for AI agents: a SHA-256 hash-chained audit log with chain verification and signed export (EU AI Act Art. 12). Instrument any agent with zero code via npx -y @agentlensai/mcp; also ingests OpenTelemetry GenAI traces.	Socket.IO-style telemetry for MCP servers. Instrument a tool call with a few lines of mcp-telemetry-sdk, and telemetrysubscribe streams its live progress (steps, logs, cost, done) to any connected MCP client via notifications/progress — no polling, and a job started in one session can be watched from a completely different one.
