$contexts->getTags()->addTag('tag_name', 'tag_value');
$contexts->getRequest()->setRequestData(['body' => ['foo' => 'bar']]);
$contexts->getCustom()->addCustom('custom_key', [
    'id' => 1,
    'name' => 'Hello',
]);
$agent = new \Hotrush\Agent([ 'appName' => 'with-custom-context' ], $contexts);

Capture Errors and Exceptions

$agent->captureThrowable( new Exception() );

Transaction without minimal Meta data and Context

$trxName = 'Demo Simple Transaction';
