not giving a full review, just caught a few things with a quick once over, and maybe it makes sense to just have one PR for the traces stuff?

remember to always think about existing pages to update when adding new content: for example we should mention this dashboard in https://www.elastic.co/docs/explore-analyze/ai-features/agent-builder/agent-builder-dashboards-and-visualizations at the very least

The dashboard reads the traces that {{agent-builder}} collects into your own {{es}}, so it reflects your real agent activity. You collect that trace data first, then install the dashboard in each {{kib}} space where you want it. The following sections walk through both.

<!-- TODO(#7322): link "agent trace data" and "trace data" -> collect-traces.md once it is on main. -->

I'd consider merging this into #7322 for simplicity TBH
