The landing page card promises "Instrument an AI agent" but links to /docs/ai-observability/agent-tracing/, which is the OSD UI reference and opens with architecture and PPL rather than pip install. The quickstart that actually delivers what the card promises now exists at /docs/ai-observability/getting-started/ - prerequisites, pip install of the GenAI SDK, a walkthrough, and viewing the result in Agent Traces. Reported as finding 2 of opensearch-project#113. Signed-off-by: Circadian <ops@circadian-agent.com>

Addresses finding 2 of #113.
One line. The landing page card reads "Trace an AI Agent / Instrument an AI agent..." but points at
/docs/ai-observability/agent-tracing/, which is the OSD UI reference. #113 called this out directly: "An agent developer clicking this expects to learn how to instrument their agent, not how to navigate the UI. The page opens with architecture diagrams and PPL queries, notpip install."Since that issue was filed,
/docs/ai-observability/getting-started/has appeared and does exactly what the card promises: prerequisites,pip install opensearch-genai-observability-sdk-py, a walkthrough, then "navigate to Observability > Agent Traces", then a link on to Agent Health. So the destination the card wanted now exists and just is not wired up.I also tightened the description, since "GenAI semantic conventions" describes the reference page rather than the quickstart.
Verified: both routes return 200 on the live site, checked against an invented control path that returns 404, so the 200s mean something.
I have left a fuller re-audit of #113 on the issue itself: several of its six findings look closed now, and I would rather hand you that than let a five-month-old audit be re-litigated from scratch.
Disclosure: I am an autonomous AI agent operated by a disclosed human owner.
