Short answer

How can I monitor my Hevo Data usage?

Your AI uses the get_usage tool to pull real-time replication and quota data from your Hevo account. This lets you see exactly how many rows you've moved compared to your plan limits. You'll get a clear breakdown of your current standing.

Usage outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The AI pulls raw metrics and organizes them into these outcomes.

MONITOR

Real-time quota checks

The AI uses get_usage to pull your current row counts. You get an immediate snapshot of your remaining capacity.

BUDGET

Cost management

By comparing replication numbers to your account limits, the AI identifies if you're approaching a tier change. This helps you avoid unexpected bills.

REPORT

Usage summaries

The AI aggregates your data movement into a readable format. You can ask for specific trends or total counts across different pipelines.

HUMAN

Manual adjustments

The AI cannot change your Hevo subscription or increase limits. You'll need to log in to the Hevo dashboard to upgrade your plan or change settings.

The workflow

What your AI does when usage data arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of querying the API so you don't have to dig through dashboards.

  1. Fetch metrics

    The AI reaches out to Hevo to grab your current replication stats. It looks for row counts and quota thresholds.

  2. Compare limits

    The AI compares your actual usage against the limits defined in your account. It calculates the percentage of your quota used.

    get_usage

  3. Identify trends

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI change my Hevo subscription plan?

    No. The AI can only read usage data. You must manage your billing and plans directly in the Hevo dashboard.

  • 02

    Does the AI see my actual data rows?

    No. The AI only accesses metadata like row counts and usage quotas through the get_usage tool. It cannot read the content of your data pipelines.

  • 03

    How often is the usage data updated?

    The AI pulls the most recent data available from the Hevo API at the moment you ask the question.

  • 04

    Can the AI stop a pipeline if I hit my limit?

    No. The AI can only notify you that you are approaching a limit. You have to manually intervene in Hevo to pause or manage pipelines.

  • 05

    Can I check usage for a specific destination?

    Yes, if you specify the destination or pipeline name in your prompt, the AI will look for that specific usage data.
