# Exploring Apm Traces

> Investigates distributed application performance using PostHog APM (OpenTelemetry span) data via MCP. Use when the user asks about service traces, slow HTTP/database spans, error spans, trace IDs, or span attributes — not AI observability traces or product logs. Uses posthog:query-apm-spans, posthog:apm-trace-get, posthog:apm-services-list, posthog:apm-attributes-list, and posthog:apm-attribute-values-list.
