Investigates distributed application performance using PostHog APM (OpenTelemetry span) data via MCP. Use when the user asks about service traces, slow HTTP/database spans, error spans, error-rate trends or spikes, latency distributions, trace IDs, or span attributes — not AI observability traces or product logs.
