Short answer

How can I check my SingleStore billing and usage with AI?

Your agent uses the get_billing_usage tool to pull specific consumption metrics and billing details directly from your SingleStore account. This allows you to track resource spikes or cost changes without logging into a dashboard. You'll get a clear breakdown of exactly what you're paying for.

Audit outcomes

What you get from these audits

The AI turns raw usage data into actionable insights.

COST

Billing visibility

The agent pulls current billing metrics. You'll see exactly how much you've spent on specific resources.

USAGE

Resource monitoring

Get data on how your database is actually being used. This helps you spot inefficient clusters or over-provisioned nodes.

TRENDS

Consumption patterns

Ask for usage history to see how your costs fluctuate over time. This makes it easy to predict next month's bill.

HUMAN

Manual adjustments

The AI only reads the data. You still need to log in to the SingleStore console if you want to change your plan or resize a cluster.

The workflow
