Monitor and debug AI CLI network traffic to understand what your agents send and receive.
RANO is a network observer purpose-built for AI coding CLIs. It intercepts HTTP requests between your local agents (Claude Code, Codex, Antigravity CLI) and their APIs, logging requests and responses for analysis.
When agents behave unexpectedly, RANO helps you see exactly what's being sent and received, making it invaluable for debugging prompt issues, token usage tracking, and understanding agent behavior.
