Agentcap is an eBPF-based exporter that monitors AI coding agent activity (tool executions, network connections, file I/O, CPU usage) and exposes it as Prometheus metrics for Grafana dashboards. It attributes child processes to their parent agents without requiring SDK changes or agent modifications, and supports a wide range of popular agents out of the box.

Target audience: devops, security engineers, backend developers
