Short answer

How do I track my AI credits and tool usage?

Your AI client uses SketricGen to pull specific trace data and credit balances directly from your workflow history. You can see which tools are consuming your budget and where your credits stand. This breakdown shows you exactly where your resources go.

Usage visibility

Where your data lands

The AI turns raw execution logs into clear reports.

CREDITS

Check current balance

The AI pulls your remaining credit count so you know exactly what you have left to spend on new runs.

COSTS

Identify expensive runs

By looking at individual traces, your agent finds which specific workflows are costing you the most credits.

AUDIT

Review tool activity

Your AI scans through execution history to list every tool used during a specific task or timeframe.

HUMAN

Manual budget decisions

The AI provides the data, but you decide when to pause workflows or change your credit settings.

The workflow

What your AI does when <the thing arrives>.

The AI acts as a bridge between your execution logs and your chat interface.

  1. Fetch credit totals

    The agent checks your current standing to give you an instant snapshot of available resources.

    get_trace_credits

  2. Scan execution history

    Your AI looks through past runs to find the specific data points you asked for.

    list_traces

  3. Calculate tool costs

    The agent correlates specific traces with credit usage to show you the cost per tool.

  4. Report usage patterns

    Your AI summarizes the findings into a plain text report you can use to manage your budget.
