AgentOps for External Agents using OpenTelemetry in IBM watsonx Governance

Extend IBM watsonx Governance to support AgentOps (Agent Operations) for external and third‑party agents by leveraging OpenTelemetry (OTel) as a standardized observability and control layer. This enables IBM watsonx to monitor, govern, audit, and control AI agents that are built and run outside the watsonx ecosystem, while still enforcing enterprise‑grade governance.

Introduce an AgentOps framework in watsonx Governance that ingests OpenTelemetry signals (traces, metrics, logs) emitted by external agents and applies governance policies on top of them.
