[agentops](https://agentops.ai) reports 5.8k GitHub stars, 625 forks, and 184 open issues, last pushed Jun 25, 2026. [imcodes](https://im.codes) has 973 stars, 121 forks, and 2 open issues, last pushed Sep 20, 2026. Figures are from public GitHub metadata via [agentops's repository](https://github.com/AgentOps-AI/agentops) and [imcodes's repository](https://github.com/im4codes/imcodes). | | [agentops](/tools/agentops-ai-agentops.md) | [imcodes](/tools/im4codes-imcodes.md) | | --- | --- | --- | | Tagline | Python SDK for AI agent monitoring and LLM cost tracking | Shared Agent Context & Memory with Supervised Execution | | Stars | 5,830 | 973 | | Forks | 625 | 121 | | Open issues | 184 | 2 | | Language | Python | TypeScript | | Adopt for | AgentOps is an open-source Python toolkit for monitoring AI agents and tracking costs associated with Large Language Model usage. | imcodes provides shared context and memory for AI agents with supervised execution across multiple providers like Claude, Codex, Gemini, and OpenAI. | | Persona | - | - | | Runtime | - | - | | License | MIT | Available under the MIT License, permitting free use, modification, distribution, but not liable for any damages or problems derived from its usage. | | Categories | AI Agents, Evaluation & Observability | AI Agents, Evaluation & Observability | ## Trust and health _Sourced signals - not a safety guarantee.
