🐛 Bug Report: TRACELOOP_TRACE_CONTENT

[FCramer]

Which component is this bug for?

AlephAlpha Instrumentation

📜 Description

In my understanding if the TRACELOOP_TRACE_CONTENT is set to false, the TRACELOOP_ENTITY_INPUT and TRACELOOP_ENTITY_OUTPUT attributes should not be set. Do I understand that correctly? However it seems to me that TRACELOOP_TRACE_CONTENT is ignored since the should_send_prompts() function is never called in _handle_call() and _handle_stream_call() ?

👟 Reproduction steps

1. Set TRACELOOP_TRACE_CONTENT to false

👍 Expected behavior

It should not add the input and output (body of the http requests)

👎 Actual Behavior with Screenshots

It actually sets the input and output attributes

Hey @FCramer, it is checked in _handle_span_input and _handle_span_output

Do you see outputs and inputs being set? Can you provide an example?

Hi @nirga, the "TRACELOOP_TRACE_CONTENT" env is not taking effect, I still see "Gen ai completion 0 content" in attributes. Can you please suggest how to troubleshoot this issue?
