DESCRIBE YOUR PR

The Python integration and agent tracing pages only describe send_default_pii. This adds the data_collection alternative, naming the specific key that controls each behavior.

• Web framework pages: mention data_collection next to send_default_pii
• Django, Flask: user_info
• Redis, PyMongo, clickhouse-driver: database_query_data
• GQL, Graphene, Ariadne, Strawberry: graphql and http_bodies (also fixes a typo on the Strawberry page claiming body capture was on by default)
• MCP and agent tracing pages: gen_ai, and that include_prompts is ignored when data_collection is set
• Rust Tracing: data_collection doesn't affect include_tracing_fields
• Data Collected: outgoing_response is a valid http_bodies type and part of the default (used by Ariadne and Strawberry)
• Mention data_collection before send_default_pii everywhere, and note that send_default_pii will be removed in version 3.0 of the SDK (also updates Options, Data Collected and Sensitive Data, which said it would only be deprecated eventually)
• AI pages and Data Collected: clarify that prompts, messages, and responses aren't recorded by default, but some tool data is (tool definitions, LangChain and Google GenAI tool calls, MCP arguments), and how to remove it

Init snippets still use send_default_pii=True; that'll be handled separately.

[cursor]

The change documents a new Python SDK option on existing pages. An issue escalates when those pages 404 or throw client errors. Page load volume on the changed paths is the population for those checks.

Rollout complete

Services: sentry-docs.

Plan

What changed

Python docs pages now describe data_collection and say some AI tool data is collected by default. They still mention send_default_pii and say SDK 3.0 will remove it. sentry-docs must deploy before this wording is live. Vercel production maps this repo to sentry-docs. The change does not add routes.

Risk

Broken MDX can 404 a page or throw in the browser. That reaches readers of the changed Python pages. Shared layout code did not change. A failed Vercel build would block the ship. Wrong default-collection wording can hide that tool arguments are sent. That SDK effect is not visible on this site.

Intended effect

This is a docs wording change. No counter increments when the new text is live. Absence looks like the pages still loading with only send_default_pii copy. Absence also looks like AI pages omitting the default tool-data note. Telemetry cannot confirm the new wording.

Regression watch

Watch the changed Python docs paths. Pair each failure signal with docs.page.load on those paths. Existing Algolia insights fetch TypeErrors are noise. Do not count them as this change. 2026-10-18 had a 53% error rate. Treat that day as an outlier.

Signal	Baseline	Window	Rule	Source
Python page 404 rate	0-1.7% of loads. 24h was 0.68% (5 / 739).	Daily rates 2026-10-14 to 2026-10-20. 24h 2026-10-20T12:01:47Z to 2026-10-21T12:01:47Z	Hold in 0-1.7% of docs.page.load	Sentry org sentry project docs. docs.page.not_found with environment:production requested_path:platforms/python. Denominator docs.page.load with environment:production page_type:platforms path:*platforms/python*
Python page error rate	Typical 0-2.7% of loads. 24h was 0.95% (7 / 739). 2026-10-18 was 53%	Daily rates 2026-10-14 to 2026-10-20. 24h 2026-10-20T12:01:47Z to 2026-10-21T12:01:47Z	Hold in 0-2.7% of docs.page.load. A new spike like 2026-10-18 is detected	Sentry org sentry project docs. Errors with environment:production http.url:*platforms/python*. Same docs.page.load denominator. 24h titles were 6 Algolia fetch TypeErrors and 1 undefined property TypeError
MDX missing-file logs	0 events	2026-10-20T12:01:47Z to 2026-10-21T12:01:47Z	Hold at 0	Sentry org sentry project docs. Logs with environment:production message:"*MDX file not found*"

If the error rate rises, inspect new titles on those URLs. Ignore Algolia insights fetch failures.

Not observable

Live HTML for the new data_collection wording is not in telemetry. The 7-day pageload failure-rate series timed out in Sentry. Traces are sampled at 30% and cannot form a band here.

Verified in production

• Python docs pages serve the new data_collection wording, and 404s and errors stayed in band.
