Agent Token Cost Signal Kit

Find token waste, repeated calls, and risky routing changes before they become real cost.

Features

  • 🔍 Token Waste Check Finds agents that may be using too many tokens for the work they do.

  • 🔁 Repeated Call Signal Spots retries, loops, repeated tool calls, or duplicate scheduled jobs.

  • 🧠 Routing Risk Check Flags model or routing changes that may increase token use.

  • 🧾 Evidence Before Action Avoids judging from one noisy run or mixed workloads.

  • 🛠 Clear Next Step Tells you whether to watch, investigate one path, keep status quo, or consider rollback.

Install

openclaw skills install agent-cost-eval-kit
openclaw skills install agent-cost-eval-kit --global
openclaw skills install agent-cost-eval-kit --global --force

Activation

eval cost change for [My_Agent]
eval token change for [My_Agent]
check token waste for [My_Agent]

What You Will Get

  • Status
  • What was checked
  • Waste signal
  • Risk level
  • Recommended next action

Status Labels

  • No Clear Waste No meaningful token waste is visible from the available evidence.

  • Watch Only There may be waste, but evidence is not strong enough to act.

  • Investigate One Path One specific agent, job, route, or task path looks suspicious.

  • Keep Status Quo The current setup looks better than the previous one. Do not rollback or make more changes yet.

  • Rollback Candidate A recent change may have increased token use or reduced reliability. Review before rollback.

  • Unsafe to Decide The workflow is too risky, mixed, or under-sampled to make a safe judgment.

Output Format

Every result starts with a status label, then gives the priority item, reason, evidence, risk level, and next action.

Status: Investigate One Path

Fix First:
daily_empty_signal_reminder

Reason:
Recent runs repeatedly returned NO_REPLY or produced no useful downstream action while still starting a full agent loop.

Evidence:
- Recent scheduled runs repeatedly returned NO_REPLY
- The job still consumed tokens on each run
- The upstream signal source appears empty or inactive

Risk:
Medium

Next Action:
Do read-only verification first. Confirm whether the reminder still has a valid upstream signal source before pausing, reducing frequency, or adding pre-agent filtering.

A short output is not waste by itself. Waste means the task consumed tokens without producing useful downstream value.

What This Will Not Do

It will not:

  • calculate exact provider billing without full pricing and usage data
  • treat token count as exact dollar cost
  • judge from one noisy run
  • compare unrelated task types as the same workload
  • promise lower cost with equal quality
  • edit configs, switch models, disable jobs, or delete cron tasks
  • require API keys, private keys, secrets, credentials, or full private logs

This skill is read-only. It may recommend an action, but it will not ask to immediately disable, edit, delete, switch, or change production configs.

Redact sensitive data before pasting logs.
