Key Points

  • The article introduces ccglass, a lightweight local reverse proxy that sits between AI coding agents (like Claude Code or Codex) and the model API to intercept and log all requests and responses.
  • By using ccglass with simple installation and command-line options, users can launch an agent and view a web dashboard without complex setup (e.g., no CA certificate installation).
  • The dashboard makes agent behavior transparent by showing the full system prompt, complete per-turn message history (including what context is kept or dropped), and the tool schemas and resulting tool calls.
  • ccglass also provides token- and cost-related breakdowns, including cached token usage and cost estimates per request and per session, along with a turn-by-turn diff view for debugging.
  • It supports a wide range of coding agents and routing backends, enabling users to inspect how different systems frame instructions and evolve context over time.
