LGTM if you modify the commit message to make it clearly in the the first sentence that the breaking change only is limited to the exported types and no JS-exposed names and/or functionality is changing.

BREAKING CHANGE:
TraceAgenthas been renamed toTracer. In plugins,Patchhas been renamedMonkeypatch, andPatchis nowMonkeypatch|Intercept(this is a rename ofInstrumentation). There are no user-visible JS changes.TraceAgentis a misnomer since the module as a whole is the "agent", not the object that is returned when the Trace Agent is started. (This is already reflected in the docs, where it has been calledTraceApi). This change makes things consistent so it is calledTracereverywhere.The one implementation of
TraceAgent(which was also calledTraceAgent) is nowStackdriverTracer. This object is never constructed by the user, so this is a no-op change for JS users.A couple of unused imports have also been removed.
