How to debug your LLM apps
Like building any type of software, at some point you'll need to debug when building with LLMs. A model call will fail, or model output will be misformatted, or there will be some nested model calls and it won't be clear where along the way an incorrect output was created.
There are three main methods for debugging:
- Verbose Mode: This adds print statements for "important" events in your chain.
- Debug Mode: This add logging statements for ALL events in your chain.
- LangSmith Tracing: This logs events to LangSmith to allow for visualization there.

Tracing
Many of the applications you build with LangChain will contain multiple steps with multiple invocations of LLM calls. As these applications get more and more complex, it becomes crucial to be able to inspect what exactly is going on inside your chain or agent. The best way to do this is with LangSmith.
After you sign up at the link above, make sure to set your environment variables to start logging traces:
export LANGSMITH_TRACING="true"
export LANGSMITH_API_KEY="..."
Or, if in a notebook, you can set them with:
import getpass
import os
os.environ["LANGSMITH_TRACING"] = "true"
os.environ["LANGSMITH_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass()
Let's suppose we have an agent, and want to visualize the actions it takes and tool outputs it receives. Without any debugging, here's what we see:
pip install -qU "langchain[google-genai]"
import getpass
import os
if not os.environ.get("GOOGLE_API_KEY"):
os.environ["GOOGLE_API_KEY"] = getpass.getpass("Enter API key for Google Gemini: ")
from langchain.chat_models import init_chat_model
llm = init_chat_model("gemini-2.0-flash", model_provider="google_genai")
from langchain.agents import AgentExecutor, create_tool_calling_agent
from langchain_core.prompts import ChatPromptTemplate
from langchain_tavily import TavilySearch
tools = [TavilySearch(max_results=5, topic="general")]
prompt = ChatPromptTemplate.from_messages(
[

"system",
"You are a helpful assistant.",
),
("placeholder", "{chat_history}"),
("human", "{input}"),
("placeholder", "{agent_scratchpad}"),
]
)
# Construct the Tools agent
agent = create_tool_calling_agent(llm, tools, prompt)
# Create an agent executor by passing in the agent and tools
agent_executor = AgentExecutor(agent=agent, tools=tools)
agent_executor.invoke(
{"input": "Who directed the 2023 film Oppenheimer and what is their age in days?"}
)
{'input': 'Who directed the 2023 film Oppenheimer and what is their age in days?',
'output': "The 2023 film **Oppenheimer** was directed by **Christopher Nolan**.\n\nChristopher Nolan was born on **July 30, 1970**. To calculate his age in days as of today:\n\n1. First, determine the total number of days from his birthdate to today.\n2. Use the formula: \\[ \\text{Age in days} = (\\text{Current Year} - \\text{Birth Year}) \\times 365 + \\text{Extra Days for Leap Years} + \\text{Days from Birthday to Today's Date} \\]\n\nLet's calculate:\n\n- From July 30, 1970, to July 30, 2023, is 53 years.\n- From July 30, 2023, to December 7, 2023, is 130 days.\n\nLeap years between 1970 and 2023 (every 4 years, except century years not divisible by 400):\n1972, 1976, 1980, 1984, 1988, 1992, 1996, 2000, 2004, 2008, 2012, 2016, 2020. That's 13 leap years.\n\nSo, his age in days is:\n\\[ 53 \\times 365 + 13 + 130 = 19345 + 13 + 130 = 19488 \\text{ days} \\]\n\nChristopher Nolan is **19,488 days old** as of today."}
We don't get much output, but since we set up LangSmith we can easily see what happened under the hood:

set_debug
and set_verbose
If you're prototyping in Jupyter Notebooks or running Python scripts, it can be helpful to print out the intermediate steps of a chain run.
There are a number of ways to enable printing at varying degrees of verbosity.
Note: These still work even with LangSmith enabled, so you can have both turned on and running at the same time
set_verbose(True)
Setting the verbose
flag will print out inputs and outputs in a slightly more readable format and will skip logging certain raw outputs (like the token usage stats for an LLM call) so that you can focus on application logic.
