Description

Which component is this feature for?

Traceloop SDK

🔖 Feature description

Add a setting called trace_content (which will default to true) and will control whether all the instrumentations are sending sensitive content (like prompts and completions). This should override the env var behavior (similar to other flags we have).

🎤 Why is this feature needed ?

More control on this sensitive feature

✌️ How do you aim to achieve this?

Research direction

Start at Traceloop.init() and inspect how existing flags and environment variables are handled. Trace how each instrumentation sends prompts and completions, then verify that the new setting defaults to true, overrides the environment behavior, and consistently controls sensitive content across the SDK.
