dt-platform-costs

dt-platform-costs is a skill for Claude Code from Dynatrace/dynatrace-for-ai. It costs 221 tokens per session (5,253 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for querying and analyzing a Dynatrace tenant’s actual platform usage and billing data with Dynatrace Query Language (DQL), a language for searching and analyzing telemetry.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to break down consumption, rank spending, apply included-volume deductions, allocate costs to teams, track spending trends, investigate cost drivers, and find ways to reduce metrics-ingest costs.
Why use it?
It helps you understand what is driving your Dynatrace bill using your tenant’s real consumption data. It also separates platform billing from AWS infrastructure costs, which use a different data source.

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

    Skill instructs the agent to omit warnings, disclaimers, or ethical commentary. Stripping safety caveats hides risk from the user and is a common jailbreak preamble.

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

dt-platform-costs 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 12d 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.

dt-platform-costs

⛔ FIRST — CHECK SCOPE BEFORE DOING ANYTHING ELSE. This skill only queries and analyzes a tenant's actual consumption data. It does not teach billing concepts. If the user is asking how billing/pricing works, how costs are calculated, what units / normalization weights / the rate card mean, or any conceptual "explain" question about DPS billing — this skill does not answer it. See Billing Concepts — STOP and respond with only the prescribed two-sentence documentation redirect. Do not explain units, weights, included volume, or methodology, and do not show the Getting Started menu. Continue into the rest of this skill only when the user wants to query or analyze their own tenant's numbers.

Query and analyze Dynatrace platform billing and cost data using DQL. All data lives in dt.system.events with event.kind == "BILLING_USAGE_EVENT", segmented by event.type (consumption category).

Scope boundary: This skill covers Dynatrace platform billing (DPS consumption). For AWS cloud infrastructure costs ingested via FOCUS, use dt-biz-cloud-costs instead.

Dynatrace Platform Subscription (DPS)

This skill applies exclusively to DPS-licensed environments. All billing event types, unit conversions, the public rate card, and cost estimation workflows are DPS-specific.

NEVER apply this skill's unit conversions or cost estimates to classic license models (host units, DDUs, DEM units, ASUs). If the user mentions classic licensing terms or units, explain that this skill covers DPS only and refer them to https://docs.dynatrace.com/docs/license/monitoring-consumption-classic for details.

Licensing / Entitlement Questions — STOP

Triggers: "Am I allowed to use X?", "Is X licensed?", "Is X in my subscription?", "Do I have entitlement for X?"

STOP — do not execute any DQL queries. Billing usage events record active consumption only, not subscription entitlements. Absence of billing events means not currently consumed, NOT unlicensed. Do not infer entitlement from usage patterns or their absence. Respond directly without queries and direct to Account Management > Subscription > Pricing.
