view-usage

view-usage is a skill for Claude Code from BerriAI/litellm-skills. It costs 61 tokens per session (1,540 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A skill for querying spending and token activity from a live LiteLLM proxy, a service that routes requests to language models. It can group daily usage by user, team, organization, tag, job, or model.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to inspect a date range, filter by model or job tag, attribute costs to jobs, or find the highest-spending tagged jobs.
Why use it?
It helps identify how many requests and tokens are being used, what they cost, and which jobs or groups account for that activity.

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

view-usage scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

View Usage

Query daily activity and spend data from a live LiteLLM proxy.

Setup

Ask for these if not already known:

LITELLM_BASE_URL  — e.g. https://my-proxy.example.com
LITELLM_API_KEY   — proxy admin key

API reference: https://docs.litellm.ai/docs/proxy/users#get-user-spend

Ask the user

  1. View by — overall / user / team / org / tag / job (default: overall)
  2. Date range — default to current month if not given
  3. Filter by model? (optional)
  4. Job tag(s)? (optional) — for job cost attribution, ask which request tag identifies the job, for example job:nightly-eval or job=batch-import.

Job cost attribution

LiteLLM attributes per-request costs through request tags. For LLM jobs, prefer tagging requests with a stable job label such as job:<job-name> and then query tag APIs:

  • Use /tag/daily/activity?tags=<tag> for daily spend, tokens, request count, and model/provider breakdowns for one or more job tags.
  • Use /global/spend/tags?tags=<tag> for a top-level spend total by tag over a date range.
  • If the user asks "which jobs cost the most?", call /global/spend/tags without a tags filter, sort by spend descending, and present the top tags that look like job labels.

Endpoints

Overall spend (across all users)

curl -s "$BASE/user/daily/activity?start_date=YYYY-MM-DD&end_date=YYYY-MM-DD&page_size=30" \

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.
