Hi everyone, I’m using the OpenAI Agents SDK JS (latest version) with a realtime model through SIP, and I’m trying to observe tool calls through traces. However, I don’t seem to receive any spans related to tool execution. ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/openai1/original/4X/8/5/9/859d77cbb24ffee199d34cc49cab7908692a3afc.png) In the traces, I only see the `in` and `out` spans, but nothing indicating the tool calls themselves. Is this expected behavior with realtime models, or am I missing a configuration step to enable tool call spans? Thanks for your help! ---
