Large Language Model-based multi-agent systems are increasingly explored for software engineering tasks, but they remain difficult to inspect, debug, and evaluate under controlled failures. We present llmmas-otel, a lightweight and framework-agnostic tool that combines OpenTelemetry-based distributed tracing with fault injection for LLM-based multi-agent systems in software engineering workflows. The tool instruments agent executions with trace-aligned telemetry across workflow phases, agent steps, inter-agent communication, tool calls, and LLM invocations, and supports targeted fault injection at selected interaction points. This makes it possible to compare baseline and faulty executions in a reproducible way and inspect the effects through aligned traces and run artifacts. We describe the motivation, architecture, implementation, current capabilities, and initial validation of the tool on a minimal demo workflow and a real LLM-based multi-agent system for software development.
