Headless event ingestion with Claude Code

Use `ingest_events` in your shell scripts to stream usage data during CI builds. This ensures your billing data stays in sync with code deployments. Automate unit testing for billing logic by calling `search_events` to validate that specific meter readings were processed correctly.

Manage contracts via Claude Code

Trigger `create_contract` from a deployment script to update account terms. It makes contract management part of your automated release process. Use `list_contracts` to verify active terms before running batch updates. This prevents configuration drift in your production environment.

Monitor account balances with Claude Code

Call `get_net_balance` in your cron jobs to check account status. It provides clear data for your internal monitoring dashboards. Use `create_alert` to set up threshold notifications. You get notified immediately if usage hits a specific limit.
