Research direction

Start in sentry_sdk/integrations/pydantic_ai/utils.py at settings_map around line 148, then compare the existing top_k constant in consts.py. Done means the pydantic-ai ModelSettings top_k value is mapped to SPANDATA.GEN_AI_REQUEST_TOP_K.

Description

Improvement Python Spans

Add top_k → SPANDATA.GEN_AI_REQUEST_TOP_K to settings_map in sentry_sdk/integrations/pydantic_ai/utils.py:148.

This is a recommended OTel attribute that we already have defined in consts.py but is not mapped from pydantic-ai's ModelSettings.
