Chat span emitted even when MAF instrumentation is disabled #100

Description

Summary

When using microsoft-opentelemetry distro with MAF (Microsoft Agent Framework) instrumentation disabled, a chat gpt-4.1 span is still being emitted. This span should not appear when MAF instrumentation is turned off.

Repro Steps

  1. Use microsoft-opentelemetry distro
  2. Disable MAF instrumentation
  3. Invoke an agent
  4. Observe that a chat span still shows up under the invoke_agent trace

Expected Behavior

No chat span should appear when MAF instrumentation is disabled.

Actual Behavior

A chat gpt-4.1 span (7.2s, 69 tokens) is emitted with full gen_ai attributes (input/output messages, token usage, cost, agent name/id). The span includes attributes like:

  • gen_ai.agent.name
  • gen_ai.agent.id
  • microsoft.gen_ai.cost.input
  • microsoft.gen_ai.cost.output
  • gen_ai.usage.input_tokens
  • gen_ai.usage.output_tokens
  • gen_ai.response.model: gpt-4.1
