[bot] Missing instrumentation for IBM watsonx.ai Java SDK

[braintrust-bot]

Summary

The Braintrust Java SDK does not instrument the IBM watsonx.ai Java SDK (com.ibm.watsonx:watsonx-ai). This is IBM's official open-source Java client for the watsonx.ai platform, providing execution-oriented APIs for chat completions, streaming, tool calling, and embeddings. There is no equivalent wrapper or auto-instrumentation module in this repository.

What is missing

The com.ibm.watsonx:watsonx-ai SDK provides these execution surfaces, none of which are instrumented:

API surface	Description
Chat completions	Synchronous and streaming chat with IBM Granite and other foundation models
Streaming	Async streaming responses via CompletableFuture
Tool calling	Function/tool execution during model inference
Embeddings	Embedding generation for text inputs
Text classification / extraction	Execution APIs for structured text tasks
Batch processing	submitChatRequestsAndFetch for parallel batch chat requests

The SDK is available on Maven Central (com.ibm.watsonx:watsonx-ai) at version 0.20.0 with 20+ published releases. It is actively maintained by IBM as an open-source project.

There is no reference to watsonx, com.ibm.watsonx, or WatsonxAi anywhere in this repository — no instrumentation module, no tests, no examples, no dependencies.

Braintrust docs status

• IBM watsonx.ai is not listed on the Braintrust integrations page at https://www.braintrust.dev/docs/integrations — neither as an AI provider nor as an agent framework: not_found
• No watsonx.ai-specific documentation exists for any Braintrust SDK language

Upstream sources

• IBM watsonx.ai Java SDK repository: https://github.com/IBM/watsonx-ai-java-sdk — describes support for chat completions, streaming, tool calling, embeddings, text classification, text extraction, text detection, reranking, and time-series forecasting
• Maven Central: https://central.sonatype.com/artifact/com.ibm.watsonx/watsonx-ai — v0.20.0, actively released
• Maven Repository: https://mvnrepository.com/artifact/com.ibm.watsonx/watsonx-ai
