Why AgentMeter?

| Feature | AgentMeter | Manual Tracking | API Dashboard | |---------|-----------|----------------|---------------| | Automatic tool-call tracking | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | | Cache hit rate monitoring | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | | Per-session & per-tool breakdown | ✅ | ❌ | ⚠️ | | Multi-model pricing (Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek) | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | | Budget alerts & spending limits | ✅ | ❌ | ⚠️ | | Local-first (no cloud dependency) | ✅ | ✅ | ❌ | | Beautiful web dashboard | ✅ | ❌ | ✅ | | Zero config setup | ✅ | ❌ | ❌ | | CSV/JSON export | ✅ | ❌ | ⚠️ |

AgentMeter hooks into Claude Code's PostToolUse event — every tool call is automatically captured with token usage, model info, cache stats, and estimated cost. No manual logging, no API polling, no cloud services.

Quick Start

# One command to set up
npx @ymstar/agentmeter init

# Launch dashboard
npx @ymstar/agentmeter dashboard

That's it. AgentMeter will automatically track all tool calls in the background.

Features

• Zero Config — One init command sets up Claude Code hooks
• Auto Tracking — Captures every tool call automatically
• Beautiful Dashboard — Dark-themed web UI with charts and sparklines
• Multi-View — Analyze by tool, session, model, or agent type
• Cache Hit Tracking — Shows cache hit/miss rate per call and in aggregate
• Multi-Model Pricing — Built-in pricing for Claude, GPT, Gemini, DeepSeek, MiMo, GLM
• Effort Tracking — Records effort level (high/medium/low) per call
• Budget Alerts — Set spending limits and get warnings
• Token Estimation — Smart 3-layer token counting (parse → estimate → fallback)
• CJK Aware — Accurate token estimation for Chinese/Japanese/Korean text
• Data Export — Export to CSV or JSON
• Local Storage — All data stored locally in SQLite

Commands

| Command | Description | |---------|-------------| | agentmeter init | Configure Claude Code hooks (one-time) | | agentmeter dashboard | Launch web dashboard | | agentmeter stats | Show stats in terminal | | agentmeter budget | Check budget status and warnings | | agentmeter export | Export data to CSV or JSON | | agentmeter reset | Clear all recorded data and start fresh |

agentmeter dashboard

agentmeter dashboard            # default port 3940
agentmeter dashboard --port 8080

The dashboard shows:

• Today / Week / Month token usage cards with sparklines
• Cache Hit Rate card with hit/miss breakdown
• Token consumption trend chart (7 / 30 / 90 days) with cache read overlay
• Cost by model doughnut chart
• Top tools by token usage doughnut chart
• Hourly activity bar chart
• By Tool — Statistics grouped by tool name
• By Session — Statistics grouped by Claude Code session
• By Model — Statistics grouped by LLM model
• By Agent — Statistics grouped by agent type
• Recent Calls — Each call shows model, effort level, cache hit rate, and cost

agentmeter export

agentmeter export                        # CSV to stdout, last 30 days
agentmeter export -f json -o data.json   # JSON to file
agentmeter export -d 7                   # Last 7 days

agentmeter budget

agentmeter budget

Shows daily and monthly spending against configured limits.

agentmeter reset

agentmeter reset          # prompts for confirmation
agentmeter reset --force  # skip confirmation

Configuration

AgentMeter stores config at ~/.agentmeter/config.json:

{
  "daily_limit_usd": 10,
  "monthly_limit_usd": 100,
  "daily_limit_tokens": 5000000,
  "monthly_limit_tokens": 50000000,
  "warn_at_percent": 80
}

How It Works

1. agentmeter init adds a PostToolUse hook to ~/.claude/settings.json
2. Every time Claude Code uses a tool, the hook fires and captures the call
3. AgentMeter parses token usage, detects model & agent type, estimates cost
4. Data is stored in ~/.agentmeter/meter.db (SQLite)
5. View stats via agentmeter dashboard or agentmeter stats

Model Detection

AgentMeter auto-detects the model from Claude Code's environment:

1. Hook input field → 2. Environment variables (ANTHROPIC_MODEL, CLAUDE_MODEL, OPENAI_MODEL) → 3. ~/.claude/settings.json → 4. Default to Claude Sonnet

Agent type detection (identifies Claude Code):

1. CLAUDECODE env var → 2. CLAUDE_CODE_SESSION_ID env var → 3. Session ID format → 4. ~/.claude directory → 5. Model name pattern

Cache Token Tracking

When Claude Code uses prompt caching, the API returns cache_creation_input_tokens and cache_read_input_tokens. AgentMeter captures these and calculates:

• Cache Hit Rate — percentage of input tokens served from cache
• Cache-aware cost — cache reads are cheaper (e.g., Claude: 0.1x input price)

Model Pricing

Built-in per-1M-token pricing (input / output / cache read / cache write):

| Model Family | Models | Input | Output | |-------------|--------|-------|--------| | Claude | Opus 4, Sonnet 4, 3.5 Sonnet, 3.5 Haiku, 3 Opus | $0.8–$15 | $4–$75 | | GPT | 4o, 4o-mini, 4-turbo, 3.5-turbo | $0.15–$10 | $0.6–$30 | | Gemini | 2.5 Pro, 2.5 Flash, 2.0 Flash | $0.1–$1.25 | $0.4–$10 | | DeepSeek | v4-flash, v4-pro, v3.2, r1 | $0.14–$1.74 | $0.28–$3.48 | | MiMo | v2.5-pro, v2.5, v2-flash | $0.1–$1 | $0.3–$3 | | GLM | 5.1, 5, 4.7, 4.7-flash, 4.5-air | $0.06–$1.2 | $0.4–$4 |

Unknown models default to Claude Sonnet pricing.
