Summary

This release introduces new features like in-process Phoenix MCP toolset for agents, retrieval relevance evaluator, and AI Query for trace filter DSL. It also includes several bug fixes and dependency updates.

⚠️ Breaking Changes

  • The GET /v1/model_providers endpoint no longer returns custom providers or a `next_cursor`. Built-in entries now expose `provider` instead of `kind` + `provider_key`. Custom providers have been moved to the unreleased GET /v1/custom_model_providers endpoint. No published client is affected by this change as the endpoint was unreleased.
