<!-- library-gap-audit: ibm-watsonx-ai -->
Summary
@ibm-cloud/watsonx-ai is IBM's official Node.js SDK for the watsonx.ai foundation-model service, providing text generation and chat execution against IBM's hosted models (Granite family and others) over a REST API. This repo has zero instrumentation for this SDK — no channels, no wrapper, no auto-instrumentation config, and no e2e scenario reference it anywhere.
What's missing
The SDK's execution surface is a WatsonXAI service client instantiated as:
const watsonxAIService = new WatsonXAI({ version: '2024-05-31', serviceUrl: 'https://us-south.ml.cloud.ibm.com' });Its primary generation method is textChat(params), which accepts messages (role/content array), modelId, projectId/spaceId, and maxTokens, and returns a response read via result.choices[0].message.content — directly analogous to chat.completions.create() for OpenAI-shaped providers, which this repo does instrument for other vendors. None of WatsonXAI, textChat, or any watsonx-related identifier appear anywhere in js/src/ (repo-wide case-insensitive search for "watsonx" returns zero matches).

Braintrust docs status
not_found — Checked https://www.braintrust.dev/docs/integrations and https://www.braintrust.dev/docs/instrument/wrap-providers; neither lists watsonx or IBM as a named provider integration (unlike OpenAI, Anthropic, Bedrock, Cerebras, etc. which do have dedicated entries). Braintrust's integrations page notes unlisted providers can be connected via its generic AI Proxy or OpenTelemetry endpoint, but there is no watsonx-specific wrapper, guide, or trace processor documented.
