metrics

metrics is a cursor rule for Cursor from getsentry/sentry-java. It costs 2 tokens per session (329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An API for recording counts, distributions, and gauges in the Java SDK. These are measurements such as event totals, averages, minimums, maximums, and percentiles.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to record custom metrics, configure metric behavior, batch measurements, and report aggregated application data through Sentry.
Why use it?
It lets an application collect numerical measurements and send them in batches instead of tracking every value as a separate event.

About the project

getsentry/sentry-java is a Java and Android software development kit for sending application errors, events, and diagnostic information to Sentry. It is used by developers working with Java, Android, Kotlin, and other JVM-based applications to monitor software behavior. The catalogue rules, skills, instructions, and setting support workflows around this SDK.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

metrics scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Java SDK Metrics API

Metrics are enabled by default.

API has been namespaced under Sentry.metrics() and IScopes.metrics() using the IMetricsApi interface and MetricsApi implementation.

Options are namespaced under SentryOptions.getMetrics().

Three different APIs exist:

  • count: Counters are one of the more basic types of metrics and can be used to count certain event occurrences.
  • distribution: Distributions help you get the most insights from your data by allowing you to obtain aggregations such as p90, min, max, and avg.
  • gauge: Gauges let you obtain aggregates like min, max, avg, sum, and count. They can be represented in a more space-efficient way than distributions, but they can't be used to get percentiles. If percentiles aren't important to you, we recommend using gauges.

Refer to SentryMetricsEvent for details about available fields.

MetricsBatchProcessor handles batching (MAX_BATCH_SIZE), automatic sending of metrics after a timeout (FLUSH_AFTER_MS) and rejecting if MAX_QUEUE_SIZE has been hit.

The flow is IMetricsApi -> IMetricsBatchProcessor -> SentryClient.captureBatchedMetricsEvents -> ITransport.

Each SentryMetricsEvent goes through SentryOptions.metrics.beforeSend (if configured) and can be modified or dropped.

For sending, a batch of SentryMetricsEvent objects is sent inside a SentryMetricsEvents object.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
