# Usage
|
|
|
|
The Agents SDK automatically tracks token usage for every run. You can access it from the run context and use it to monitor costs, enforce limits, or record analytics.
|
|
|
|
## What is tracked
|
|
|
|
- **requests**: number of LLM API calls made
|
|
- **input_tokens**: total input tokens sent
|
|
- **output_tokens**: total output tokens received
|
|
- **total_tokens**: input + output
|
|
- **request_usage_entries**: list of per-request usage breakdowns
|
|
- **details**:
|
|
- `input_tokens_details.cached_tokens`
|
|
- `output_tokens_details.reasoning_tokens`
|
|
|
|
## Accessing usage from a run
|
|
|
|
After `Runner.run(...)`, access usage via `result.context_wrapper.usage`.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
result = await Runner.run(agent, "What's the weather in Tokyo?")
|
|
usage = result.context_wrapper.usage
|
|
|
|
print("Requests:", usage.requests)
|
|
print("Input tokens:", usage.input_tokens)
|
|
print("Output tokens:", usage.output_tokens)
|
|
print("Total tokens:", usage.total_tokens)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Usage is aggregated across all model calls during the run (including tool calls and handoffs).
|
|
|
|
### Enabling usage with third-party adapters
|
|
|
|
Usage reporting varies across third-party adapters and provider backends. If you rely on adapter-backed models and need accurate `result.context_wrapper.usage` values:
|
|
|
|
- With `AnyLLMModel`, usage is propagated automatically when the upstream provider returns it. For streamed Chat Completions backends, you may need `ModelSettings(include_usage=True)` before usage chunks are emitted.
|
|
- With `LitellmModel`, some provider backends do not report usage by default, so `ModelSettings(include_usage=True)` is often required.
|
|
|
|
Review the adapter-specific notes in the [Third-party adapters](models/index.md#third-party-adapters) section of the Models guide and validate the exact provider backend you plan to deploy.
|
|
|
|
## Per-request usage tracking
|
|
|
|
The SDK automatically tracks usage for each API request in `request_usage_entries`, useful for detailed cost calculation and monitoring context window consumption.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
result = await Runner.run(agent, "What's the weather in Tokyo?")
|
|
|
|
for i, request in enumerate(result.context_wrapper.usage.request_usage_entries):
|
|
print(f"Request {i + 1}: {request.input_tokens} in, {request.output_tokens} out")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Accessing usage with sessions
|
|
|
|
When you use a `Session` (e.g., `SQLiteSession`), each call to `Runner.run(...)` returns usage for that specific run. Sessions maintain conversation history for context, but each run's usage is independent.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
session = SQLiteSession("my_conversation")
|
|
|
|
first = await Runner.run(agent, "Hi!", session=session)
|
|
print(first.context_wrapper.usage.total_tokens) # Usage for first run
|
|
|
|
second = await Runner.run(agent, "Can you elaborate?", session=session)
|
|
print(second.context_wrapper.usage.total_tokens) # Usage for second run
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Note that while sessions preserve conversation context between runs, the usage metrics returned by each `Runner.run()` call represent only that particular execution. In sessions, previous messages may be re-fed as input to each run, which affects the input token count in subsequent turns.
|
|
|
|
## Using usage in hooks
|
|
|
|
If you're using `RunHooks`, the `context` object passed to each hook contains `usage`. This lets you log usage at key lifecycle moments.
|
|
|
|
```python
|
|
class MyHooks(RunHooks):
|
|
async def on_agent_end(self, context: RunContextWrapper, agent: Agent, output: Any) -> None:
|
|
u = context.usage
|
|
print(f"{agent.name} → {u.requests} requests, {u.total_tokens} total tokens")
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
