It has a docstring.

AFAICT you just place into in the code, reevaluate, and it will print
values into the trace buffer. E.g.
(defun fac (x)
(trace-values (cons 'x x))
(if (< x 2) 1 (* x (fac (1- x)))))
Tracing `fac' and evaluating (fac 3) gives you a trace buffer like
1 -> (fac 3)
1 -> (trace-values (x . 3))
2 -> (fac 2)
2 -> (trace-values (x . 2))
3 -> (fac 1)
3 -> (trace-values (x . 1))
3 <- fac: 1
2 <- fac: 2
1 <- fac: 6
Nothing more.
