Summary

  • Bound decorated entity input and output attributes to a 1,000,000-character default when no explicit OpenTelemetry limit is configured.
  • Preserve the existing OTEL_SPAN_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_LENGTH_LIMIT override for deployments with a different limit.
  • Document the default and add a regression test proving oversized output remains present and bounded.

Tests

  • uv run --group test pytest tests/test_tasks.py -q
  • uv run ruff check traceloop tests/test_tasks.py

Compatibility/Risks

This is backward compatible for payloads below 1,000,000 characters and for callers that set the standard OTel limit. Oversized entity attributes are intentionally truncated to avoid backend rejection; the truncated JSON may not be syntactically complete, matching the existing behavior.

Closes #3211

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Large task inputs and outputs are now limited to 1,000,000 characters by default, helping ensure they remain visible in OpenTelemetry backends.
    • A valid positive OTEL_SPAN_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_LENGTH_LIMIT value can customize the limit; invalid, nonpositive, or unset values use the default.
  • Documentation

    • Updated SDK documentation to explain the default limit and configuration option.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The SDK now truncates oversized JSON span attributes to 1,000,000 characters by default. A positive OTEL_SPAN_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_LENGTH_LIMIT value overrides this limit. Tests cover unset, invalid, and non-positive configuration values.

_truncate_json_if_needed applies the default limit and ignores invalid or non-positive environment values. The fixture isolates environment state. Tests validate oversized task output and fallback behavior. The README documents the limit and override variable.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Merge Risk: ⚪ Minimal · up to 2ca1a

The change keeps oversized entity attributes exportable by applying a bounded default while preserving configured limits; no actionable merge-blocking risk remains after normal checks and review.

Describe the default limit in the docstring.

Line 41 describes only OTEL_SPAN_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_LENGTH_LIMIT. Lines 44-52 also apply _DEFAULT_SPAN_ATTRIBUTE_VALUE_LENGTH_LIMIT when the variable is unset or invalid. Update the docstring so the function contract matches the implementation.

Add coverage for the new limit branches.

This test covers only the default output path. Add focused cases for a positive override, zero or negative values, invalid values, and input truncation. These cases protect the configuration and shared-helper behavior added in base.py.

the session-scoped exporter fixture initializes TracerProvider, ensuring
inherited values are cleared before exporter setup. Update the relevant test
