# agent-ops — Operational Visibility for AI Agents **By Edvisage Global — the agent safety company** Stop flying blind. agent-ops gives you complete visibility into what your agent is doing, what it's costing, and whether it's working. ## What This Skill Does When installed, your agent gains structured operational awareness — tracking its own costs, logging its actions, and generating reports for you, the owner. ## Core Capabilities ### 1. Cost Tracking Protocol Before every API call, assess and log: - **Model used**: Which model is being called (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, GPT, etc.) - **Estimated tokens**: Input and output token estimate - **Estimated cost**: Based on current model pricing - **Task classification**: Is this a heartbeat, user request, automated task, or sub-agent spawn? Maintain a running daily cost log in your memory files: ``` ## Daily Cost Log — [DATE] | Time | Model | Tokens (in/out) | Est. Cost | Task Type | Description | |------|-------|-----------------|-----------|-----------|-------------| ``` ### 2. Action Logging Every significant action gets logged with: - **Timestamp**: When it happened - **Action type**: Post, reply, API call, file read, file write, skill use, tool use - **Target**: Where/what was affected - **Outcome**: Success, failure, or partial - **Cost**: If applicable Log format: ``` ## Action Log — [DATE] | Time | Action | Target | Outcome | Cost | Notes | |------|--------|--------|---------|------|-------| ``` ### 3. Daily Summary Report At the end of each operating day (or on request), generate a summary: ``` ## Daily Operations Summary — [DATE] ### Cost Breakdown - Total estimated spend: $X.XX - By model: [breakdown] - By task type: [breakdown] - Highest cost action: [description] ### Activity Summary - Total actions: X - Successful: X | Failed: X - Posts created: X - Replies sent: X - API calls made: X ### Alerts - [Any unusual patterns or cost spikes] ``` ### 4. Cost Alerts Flag when: - Daily spend exceeds a threshold (default: $1.00) - A single action costs more than $0.10 - Heartbeat/maintenance costs exceed 30% of total spend - Costs are trending higher than the previous 7-day average ### 5. Model Routing Awareness When a task could be handled by a cheaper model, note it: - Simple lookups → suggest Haiku/Flash tier - Heartbeats → suggest cheapest available model - Complex reasoning → confirm current model is appropriate - Summarization → suggest mid-tier model ## How to Use Tell your agent: "You have the agent-ops skill installed. Start tracking your costs and actions today." Ask for reports: "Give me your daily operations summary" or "How much have you spent today?" ## Limitations (Free Version) - Manual report requests only (no scheduled delivery) - Basic cost tracking (no historical trend analysis) - Simple action log (no categorized performance metrics) - No spending limit enforcement - No multi-agent cost aggregation **Want automated reports, trend analysis, spending limits, and more?** → Upgrade to **agent-ops-pro**: https://edvisage.gumroad.com/l/[TBD] ## About Edvisage Global We build practical safety and operations tools for AI agents.
