Configure Outcomes and Cost Allocation

This guide shows you how to configure your metering setup so the platform can properly track costs and identify outcomes. You’ll set up action tagging, assign costs to actions, and define which actions represent business outcomes.

​
Step 1: Go to Metering

Navigate to Metering in the left sidebar. This is where you configure all your metering settings. You’ll see four tabs: Live Data, Action Tagging, Cost Allocation, and Outcome Definitions. We’ll work through the last three tabs to set everything up.

​
Step 2: Assign Auto Tags to Actions

In the Action Tagging tab, you’ll see a list of all the actions your agent is performing. These come from two sources: auto tags that the SDK automatically creates, and trace events from your LLM calls. Action Tagging interface showing auto tags and trace events Each action has a toggle switch. Turn on the toggles for the actions you want to track. For example, you might enable gemini_llm_gemini-2.5-flash to track Gemini LLM calls, or gemini.generate_content to track content generation. The actions you enable here will be available for cost allocation and outcome definitions. When you’re done, you’ll see a green checkmark with “Saved” indicating your changes are saved.

​
Step 3: Assign Cost Allocation

In the Cost Allocation tab, you assign costs to each action. This tells the platform how much each action costs you, which is essential for profitability analysis. Cost Allocation interface showing actions with measure and cost fields For each action, you select a measure and set a cost. The measure can be token for LLM calls, unit for other actions, or other units of measure. Then you enter the cost per unit. For example, gemini_llm_gemini-2.5-flash might use token as the measure with a cost of 0.006 per token. An object_classification action might use unit as the measure with a cost of 0.003 per unit. The platform uses these costs to calculate your expenses and show you profitability. When you’re done, you’ll see a green checkmark with “Saved”.

​
Step 4: Assign Outcomes

In the Outcome Definitions tab, you define which actions represent business outcomes. Outcomes are the business results you care about, like successful hires, converted leads, or completed tasks. Outcome Definitions interface showing actions with outcome toggles You’ll see a list of all your actions. Toggle on the actions that represent outcomes. For example, if object_detection represents a successful outcome in your workflow, turn on its toggle. The platform will then track these as @outcome in addition to @action, which allows you to price based on outcomes. When you’re done configuring, you’ll see a green checkmark with “Saved”. Your metering is now fully configured. The platform will track costs for all your actions and identify outcomes automatically.
