common-telemetry

common-telemetry is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard. It costs 53 tokens per session (653 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A reporting procedure for tracking an agent session’s token use, estimated cost, and execution details. It applies when cost reporting is requested or a workflow is being finalized.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for calling the session-cost reporting helper and appending usage information to artifacts/session-cost.md when a workflow reaches a completed, failed, or blocked state.
Why use it?
It makes resource usage visible at the end of a workflow and records when model-level cost data is unavailable.

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

common-telemetry 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 13d 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.

Telemetry & Cost Reporting

Priority: P2 (MEDIUM)

1. Finalizing a Workflow

As your final step in any SDLC workflow (or when a user explicitly requests session cost):

  1. Call the get_session_cost tool provided by the agent-skills-standard MCP server.
  2. Pass workflow, model, token counts, cache/reasoning usage, and per-1M token rates when the host runtime exposes them.
  3. If token counts are unavailable, report MCP-observed telemetry and mark model-token cost as unavailable.
  4. Append a Markdown table containing the usage metrics to artifacts/session-cost.md.

When asked which artifact to use, always name both artifacts/session-cost.md and get_session_cost; if the host does not expose the helper, say so explicitly while retaining the artifact requirement.

2. Host Runtime Contract

  • This skill defines the telemetry contract; it does not collect provider billing data by itself.
  • The host runtime or orchestrator must trigger the final telemetry call when the workflow reaches a terminal state such as completed, failed, or blocked.
  • The host may use a reusable helper such as mcp/src/services/WorkflowTelemetry.ts to:
    • decide when telemetry should fire
    • build the get_session_cost payload
    • pass prompt, cache, reasoning, pricing, and other runtime cost fields when available

3. Telemetry Format

Ensure the artifacts/session-cost.md or the output template ## Cost Report follows this structure:

Metric Value
Tool Calls [from get_session_cost]
Skills Loaded [from get_session_cost]
Workflows Loaded [from get_session_cost]
Prompt Tokens [from your platform telemetry]
Cached Prompt Tokens [from your platform telemetry]
Completion Tokens [from your platform telemetry]
Reasoning Tokens [from your platform telemetry]
Other Runtime Cost [tooling/provider extras]
Estimated Cost $0.00

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.

common-telemetry is a skill published in the GitHub repository HoangNguyen0403/agent-skills-standard (565 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 53 tokens to every session and 653 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
