# Token Usage & Cost Tracking - Complete Implementation

**Status:** ✅ **READY FOR TESTING**  
**Date:** 2026-02-20

---

## Summary

We've successfully implemented **token usage tracking** from Mastra/AI SDK. The system now:

1. ✅ **Captures** token usage from AI model responses
2. ✅ **Extracts** usage data from stream chunks  
3. ✅ **Persists** token counts to SQLite database
4. ✅ **Type-safe** implementation (TypeScript passes)
5. ✅ **Logs** usage to console for verification

---

## What Was Implemented

### Files Changed

1. **`src/gateway/services/agent/messagePersistence.ts`**
   - Added `usage` parameter to `createAssistantStoredMessage()`
   - Added `usage` parameter to `createErrorStoredMessage()`
   - Both functions now save `prompt_tokens`, `completion_tokens`, `total_tokens`

2. **`src/gateway/services/AgentService.ts`**
   - Added `tokenUsage` variable to track usage during streaming
   - Extract usage from "done" chunk with console logging
   - Pass usage to all 3 message save locations:
     - Final successful message
     - Partial message before compression retry
     - Error message on failure

3. **`src/gateway/services/agent/streamChunks.ts`**
   - Updated `ChatStreamChunkPayload` type to include done payload with usage

## How It Works

### Flow Diagram

```
┌─────────────────┐
│  AI SDK/Mastra  │
│  Model Response │
└────────┬────────┘
         │ totalUsage
         ▼
┌─────────────────────┐
│   MastraAgent.ts    │
│  Emit "done" chunk  │
│  with usage data    │
└────────┬────────────┘
         │ { type: "done", payload: { usage: {...} } }
         ▼
┌──────────────────────┐
│  AgentService.ts     │
│  Extract from chunk  │  ◄─── NEW: We extract here
│  tokenUsage = {...}  │
└────────┬─────────────┘
         │
         ▼
┌──────────────────────────┐
│  messagePersistence.ts   │
│  createAssistantMessage  │  ◄─── NEW: We pass usage
│  { usage: tokenUsage }   │
└────────┬─────────────────┘
         │
         ▼
┌──────────────────────────┐
│  LocalStorageProvider    │
│  INSERT INTO messages    │  ◄─── Already supported!
│  (prompt_tokens, ...)    │
└──────────────────────────┘
```

### Code Example

When a message completes:

```typescript
// 1. Extract from done chunk
if (next.value.type === 'done') {
  const payload = next.value.payload as any;
  if (payload?.usage) {
    tokenUsage = {
      promptTokens: payload.usage.promptTokens || 0,
      completionTokens: payload.usage.completionTokens || 0,
      totalTokens: payload.usage.totalTokens || 0,
    };
  }
}

// 2. Pass to message creation
const assistantMsg = createAssistantStoredMessage({
  chatId,
  model: config.model,
  assistantText,
  thinkingText,
  toolCalls,
  toolResults,
  sequence,
  usage: tokenUsage, // ✅ Passed here
});

// 3. Save to database (already supported)
await storageManager.saveMessage(chatId, assistantMsg);
// SQL: INSERT INTO messages (..., prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, total_tokens, ...)
```

---

## Testing the Implementation

### 1. Console Verification

After sending a message, look for:

```
[AgentService] 💰 Token usage: 52847 total (50234 prompt + 2613 completion)
```

This confirms tokens are being captured.

### 2. Database Verification

Check SQLite database:

```bash
sqlite3 ~/Papr/data/chats.db
```

Query recent assistant messages:

```sql
SELECT 
  id,
  model,
  prompt_tokens,
  completion_tokens,
  total_tokens,
  LENGTH(content) as content_chars
FROM messages 
WHERE role = 'assistant' 
ORDER BY timestamp DESC 
LIMIT 5;
```

**Expected Output:**
```
msg-abc123|gpt-5-2|50234|2613|52847|1250
msg-def456|gpt-5-mini|12500|450|12950|380
...
```

Non-zero token counts indicate success!

### 3. Programmatic Verification

In Electron DevTools console:

```javascript
// Get storage manager
const { default: AgentService } = await import('./src/gateway/services/AgentService.js');

// Load messages
const messages = await storageManager.loadMessages('your-chat-id');

// Check last assistant message
const lastAssistant = messages.find(m => m.role === 'assistant');
console.table({
  model: lastAssistant?.model,
  prompt_tokens: lastAssistant?.prompt_tokens,
  completion_tokens: lastAssistant?.completion_tokens,
  total_tokens: lastAssistant?.total_tokens,
});
```

## Next Steps

### Phase 2: Cost Calculation

**Time:** 1 hour  
**Goal:** Calculate USD cost from token counts

#### 2.1 Create Cost Calculator

File: `src/gateway/services/CostCalculation.ts`

```typescript
// Per 1M tokens (as of 2026-02-20)
const MODEL_PRICING = {
  // OpenAI
  'gpt-5-mini': { input: 0.10, output: 0.40 },
  'gpt-5-2-low': { input: 2.50, output: 10.00 },
  'gpt-5-2': { input: 5.00, output: 15.00 },
  'gpt-5-2-high': { input: 10.00, output: 30.00 },
  
  // Anthropic
  'claude-haiku-4-5': { input: 0.80, output: 4.00 },
  'claude-sonnet-4-6': { input: 3.00, output: 15.00 },
  'claude-opus-4-6': { input: 15.00, output: 75.00 },
  
  // Google
  'gemini-2-5-flash': { input: 0.30, output: 1.20 },
  'gemini-3-pro-preview': { input: 2.50, output: 10.00 },
};

export function calculateCost(
  model: string,
  promptTokens: number,
  completionTokens: number
): number {
  const pricing = MODEL_PRICING[model];
  if (!pricing) return 0;
  
  const inputCost = (promptTokens / 1_000_000) * pricing.input;
  const outputCost = (completionTokens / 1_000_000) * pricing.output;
  
  return inputCost + outputCost;
}

// Example: GPT-5-2 with 50K prompt + 2.6K completion
// = (50,000 / 1M × $5) + (2,600 / 1M × $15)
// = $0.25 + $0.039
// = $0.289 (~29 cents)
```

#### 2.2 Add Cost Field to Database

```sql
ALTER TABLE messages ADD COLUMN cost REAL DEFAULT 0;
```

#### 2.3 Calculate and Save Cost

In `messagePersistence.ts`:

```typescript
import { calculateCost } from '../CostCalculation.js';

export function createAssistantStoredMessage(args: { ... }): StoredMessage {
  const cost = args.usage 
    ? calculateCost(args.model, args.usage.promptTokens, args.usage.completionTokens)
    : undefined;
    
  return {
    // ... existing fields ...
    cost,
  };
}
```

### Phase 3: Analytics Queries

**Time:** 2 hours  
**Goal:** Provide cost insights

Add to `IStorageProvider`:

```typescript
// Get total cost for a chat
async getChatCost(chatId: string): Promise<{
  total: number;
  byModel: Record<string, number>;
  byDate: Record<string, number>;
}>;

// Get cost stats across all chats
async getGlobalCostStats(): Promise<{
  today: number;
  thisWeek: number;
  thisMonth: number;
  total: number;
  topModels: Array<{ model: string; cost: number }>;
}>;

// Get agent performance with cost
async getAgentCostStats(agentId: string): Promise<{
  totalRuns: number;
  totalCost: number;
  avgCostPerRun: number;
  successRate: number;
}>;
```

### Phase 4: UI Integration

**Time:** 2 hours  
**Goal:** Display cost in Agents page

Update `AgentsView.tsx`:

```typescript
// Fetch cost data
const [costStats, setCostStats] = useState({
  totalCost: 0,
  todayCost: 0,
  avgCostPerRun: 0,
});

useEffect(() => {
  const loadCosts = async () => {
    const response = await gateway.send('agent:get-cost-stats');
    setCostStats(response.data);
  };
  loadCosts();
}, []);

// Display in overview
<div className="stat-card-native">
  <div className="stat-value-native">${costStats.totalCost.toFixed(2)}</div>
  <div className="stat-label-native">Total Cost</div>
</div>

// Display per agent
{agents.map(agent => (
  <div className="specialist-card-native">
    {/* ... existing fields ... */}
    <div className="specialist-cost">
      Cost: ${agent.totalCost.toFixed(2)}
      <span className="cost-per-run">
        ${agent.avgCostPerRun.toFixed(3)}/run
      </span>
    </div>
  </div>
))}
```

- Cost: $0.29 per response
- 10 responses/day = $2.90/day = $87/month

### Scenario 2: Code Review (Claude Opus)
- 120K prompt tokens (full codebase)
- 5K completion tokens (review)
- Cost: $2.18 per review
- 5 reviews/day = $10.90/day = $327/month ⚠️

### Scenario 3: Quick Questions (GPT-5-mini)
- 5K prompt tokens
- 200 completion tokens
- Cost: $0.0013 per response (~0.1 cent)
- 100 questions/day = $0.13/day = $4/month ✅
