Description

[!NOTE]
This issue was generated with AI assistance and requires investigation and confirmation prior to being worked on.

Part of #568.

Add instrumentation for retrieve in AWS Bedrock Agent Runtime (bedrock-agent-runtime) to trace knowledge base queries.

  • Operation: maps to GenAI retrieval (gen_ai.operation.name: "retrieval")
  • Span kind: client
  • Attributes: gen_ai.provider.name: "aws.bedrock", aws.bedrock.knowledge_base.id (from knowledgeBaseId), gen_ai.retrieval.query.text (from retrievalQuery.text), gen_ai.retrieval.top_k (from vectorSearchConfiguration.numberOfResults), gen_ai.retrieval.documents (from retrievalResults), server.address, server.port

Research direction

Locate the existing AWS Bedrock Agent Runtime instrumentation and the entry point for retrieve operations. Compare related GenAI span mappings and confirm how retrieve responses expose the listed attributes. Done means retrieve emits a client span with the specified operation, provider, knowledge-base, query, result, server, and top-k attributes, with tests covering the behavior.
