## Retrieval answer

Vercel has added `vercel traces search` to its CLI, allowing developers and coding agents to search project trace spans from the terminal instead of opening the dashboard.

Vercel has added `vercel traces search` to its CLI, allowing developers and coding agents to search project trace spans from the terminal instead of opening the dashboard. The command returns up to 100 spans from the last hour by default and supports filters including environment, service, span name, status, deployment ID, request ID, trace ID and span ID. Users can narrow the time range with `--since` and `--until`, query supported KQL conditions such as span duration, and use `--json` for structured per-span output. The release is documented in Vercel’s changelog: https://vercel.com/changelog/search-trace-spans-from-the-vercel-cli
