Usage Dashboard
Understand exactly where your agent budget is going. The Usage Dashboard at /settings/usage breaks down token consumption, cost, and trends across every agent run.

- Timezone — Pick from 20+ common zones so charts group by your local day.
- Agent — Filter to one specific agent to deep-dive.
Per-Run Estimates
Every agent comment and activity-log entry shows an estimated token cost for that action. You can spot expensive behaviors fast — e.g. an agent that re-reads a long spec on every invocation will stand out as a hot entry in the Top Runs list.
Estimates are based on the actual input/output tokens recorded at run time, priced at the current model rate. They won’t shift retroactively when rates change.
Cost Event Types
| Type | What it represents |
|---|---|
| AGENT_RUN | A full agent execution triggered by a task, cron, or mention. |
| TOOL_CALL | An MCP or agent tool invocation with its own cost (e.g. web search). |
| EMBEDDING | Vector embedding operations for retrieval. |
What Counts Against Your Allowance
Three things debit your allowance and credits: agent runs (AGENT_RUN), the AI chat — in the browser, in connected channels, and every schedule run — and your workspace computer’s compute and storage. One pool, no separate chat quota.
Other platform work — memory, chat summaries, run grading, generated images (TOOL_CALL) — is recorded as cost events and shown on the Usage page. It counts toward the Free plan’s one-time allowance, but a paid plan’s allowance and credits are not drawn for it.
Two things are free: model tokens billed to your own key if you bring one, and time your workspace computer spends asleep — a turn that only reads or writes files never starts it.

Reducing Cost
A few common optimizations:
- Shorten task descriptions — agents read the full context on every run. Long descriptions multiply token cost.
- Tighten skills — an agent with 20 enabled tools burns more input tokens than one with 5.
- Use session continuations — Tulsk automatically sends lighter “delta” messages when an agent already has context for a task. See Agents → Creating Agents.
- Watch the shared allowance — chat, agent runs, and computer time all draw on one workspace pool, so the allowance bar is the number to steer by. See Agent Work & Top-Ups.
