TrueFoundry provides an enterprise-ready AI Gateway that can be used for governance and observability for agentic frameworks like CrewAI. TrueFoundry AI Gateway serves as a unified interface for LLM access, providing:
  • Unified API Access: Connect to 250+ LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, Groq, Mistral) through one API
  • Low Latency: Sub-3ms internal latency with intelligent routing and load balancing
  • Enterprise Security: SOC 2, HIPAA, GDPR compliance with RBAC and audit logging
  • Quota and cost management: Token-based quotas, rate limiting, and comprehensive usage tracking
  • Observability: Full request/response logging, metrics, and traces with customizable retention

Configure CrewAI with TrueFoundry

TrueFoundry playground showing unified code snippet with base URL and model name for CrewAI integration
from crewai import LLM

# Create an LLM instance with TrueFoundry AI Gateway
truefoundry_llm = LLM(
    model="openai-main/gpt-4o",  # Similarly you can call any model from any model provider
    base_url="https://your-truefoundry-endpoint/api/inference/v1",
    api_key="your_truefoundry_pat_token"
)

# Use in your CrewAI agents
from crewai import Agent

@agent
def researcher(self) -> Agent:
    return Agent(
        config=self.agents_config['researcher'],
        llm=truefoundry_llm,
        verbose=True
    )

Complete CrewAI Example

from crewai import Agent, Task, Crew, LLM

# Configure LLM with TrueFoundry
llm = LLM(
    model="openai-main/gpt-4o",
    base_url="base_url_from_code_snippet", 
    api_key="your_truefoundry_pat_token"
)

# Create agents
researcher = Agent(
    role='Research Analyst',
    goal='Conduct detailed market research',
    backstory='Expert market analyst with attention to detail',
    llm=llm,
    verbose=True
)

writer = Agent(
    role='Content Writer', 
    goal='Create comprehensive reports',
    backstory='Experienced technical writer',
    llm=llm,
    verbose=True
)

# Create tasks
research_task = Task(
    description='Research AI market trends for 2024',
    agent=researcher,
    expected_output='Comprehensive research summary'
)

writing_task = Task(
    description='Create a market research report',
    agent=writer,
    expected_output='Well-structured report with insights',
    context=[research_task]
)

# Create and execute crew
crew = Crew(
    agents=[researcher, writer],
    tasks=[research_task, writing_task],
    verbose=True
)

result = crew.kickoff()

​
Observability and Governance

Monitor your CrewAI agents through TrueFoundry’s metrics tab: TrueFoundry metrics dashboard showing usage statistics, costs, and performance metrics for CrewAI agents With Truefoundry’s AI gateway, you can monitor and analyze:
  • Performance Metrics: Track key latency metrics like Request Latency, Time to First Token (TTFS), and Inter-Token Latency (ITL) with P99, P90, and P50 percentiles
  • Cost and Token Usage: Gain visibility into your application’s costs with detailed breakdowns of input/output tokens and the associated expenses for each model
  • Usage Patterns: Understand how your application is being used with detailed analytics on user activity, model distribution, and team-based usage
  • Rate limit and Load balancing: You can set up rate limiting, load balancing and fallback for your models

​
Tracing

For a more detailed understanding on tracing, please see getting-started-tracing.For tracing, you can add the Traceloop SDK: 
pip install traceloop-sdk

from traceloop.sdk import Traceloop

# Initialize enhanced tracing
Traceloop.init(
    api_endpoint="https://your-truefoundry-endpoint/api/tracing",
    headers={
        "Authorization": f"Bearer {your_truefoundry_pat_token}",
        "TFY-Tracing-Project": "your_project_name",
    },
)
This provides additional trace correlation across your entire CrewAI workflow. TrueFoundry tracing visualization showing CrewAI agent interactions and request flow
