Description

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

Part of #543.

When LangChain chat models are invoked with a PromptTemplate or ChatPromptTemplate, prompt template details are currently omitted.

Semantic conventions define prompt template attributes:

  • gen_ai.prompt.name
  • gen_ai.prompt.variable.<key>

Task:

  • Extract template name from serialized representation or metadata -> gen_ai.prompt.name
  • Extract template variable inputs -> gen_ai.prompt.variable.<key>

Research direction

Start with the LangChain chat model instrumentation related to issue #543 and inspect how prompt inputs are serialized or exposed through metadata. Determine how to capture the template name and input variables, then verify that chat invocations emit gen_ai.prompt.name and gen_ai.prompt.variable. attributes.
