Agent Debug Mode

This example demonstrates how to enable debug mode for agents to get more verbose output and detailed information about agent execution.

Code

debug.py

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.models.openai import OpenAIChat

# You can set the debug mode on the agent for all runs to have more verbose output
agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-5-mini"),
    debug_mode=True,
)

agent.print_response(input="Tell me a joke.")


# You can also set the debug mode on a single run
agent = Agent(
    model=OpenAIChat(id="gpt-5-mini"),
)
agent.print_response(input="Tell me a joke.", debug_mode=True)
