analytics-engine

A way to record large volumes of event data and query that data with SQL. Events can include user actions, billing measurements, per-customer analytics, A/B-test results, API usage, and custom telemetry.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to write event data points, attach numeric and text values, group records by an identifier, and run SQL queries through a REST API.
Why use it?
It removes the need to build a separate event-storage and aggregation system for these measurements. Non-blocking writes allow events to be recorded without waiting for each write to finish.

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

analytics-engine 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 2d 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.

Analytics Engine

Write high-cardinality event data at scale and query it with SQL. Perfect for user events, billing metrics, per-tenant analytics, and custom telemetry.

FIRST: Create Dataset

wrangler analytics-engine create my-dataset

Add binding in wrangler.jsonc:

{
  "analytics_engine_datasets": [
    {
      "binding": "USER_EVENTS",
      "dataset": "my-dataset"
    }
  ]
}

When to Use

Use Case Why Analytics Engine
User behavior tracking High-cardinality data (userId, sessionId, etc.)
Billing/usage metrics Per-tenant aggregation with doubles
Custom telemetry Non-blocking writes, queryable with SQL
A/B test metrics Index by experiment ID, query results
API usage tracking Count requests per customer/endpoint

Quick Reference

Operation API Notes
Write event env.DATASET.writeDataPoint({ ... }) Non-blocking, do NOT await
Metrics doubles: [value1, value2] Up to 20 numeric values
Labels blobs: [label1, label2] Up to 20 text values
Grouping indexes: [userId] 1 index per datapoint (max 96 bytes)
Query data SQL API via REST GraphQL also available

Data Model

Analytics Engine stores datapoints with three types of fields:

Field Type Purpose Limit Example
doubles Numeric metrics (counters, gauges, latency) 20 per datapoint [response_time, bytes_sent]
blobs Text labels (URLs, names, IDs) 20 per datapoint [path, event_name]
indexes Grouping key (userId, tenantId, etc.) 1 per datapoint [userId]

Key concept: The index is the primary key that represents your app, customer, merchant, or tenant. Use it to group and filter data efficiently in SQL queries. For multiple dimensions, use blobs or create a composite index.

Write Events Example

interface Env {
  USER_EVENTS: AnalyticsEngineDataset;
}

export default {
  async fetch(req: Request, env: Env): Promise<Response> {
    let url = new URL(req.url);
    let path = url.pathname;
    let userId = url.searchParams.get("userId");

    // Write a datapoint for this visit, associating the data with
    // the userId as our Analytics Engine 'index'
    env.USER_EVENTS.writeDataPoint({
      // Write metrics data: counters, gauges or latency statistics
      doubles: [],
      // Write text labels - URLs, app names, event_names, etc
      blobs: [path],
      // Provide an index that groups your data correctly.
      indexes: [userId],
    });

    return Response.json({
      hello: "world",
    });
  },
};

What ships with it

4 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
