agent-ops — Operational Visibility for AI Agents

By Edvisage Global — the agent safety company

Stop flying blind. agent-ops gives you complete visibility into what your agent is doing, what it's costing, and whether it's working.

What This Skill Does

When installed, your agent gains structured operational awareness — tracking its own costs, logging its actions, and generating reports for you, the owner.

Core Capabilities

1. Cost Tracking Protocol

Before every API call, assess and log:

• Model used: Which model is being called (Opus, Sonnet, Haiku, GPT, etc.)
• Estimated tokens: Input and output token estimate
• Estimated cost: Based on current model pricing
• Task classification: Is this a heartbeat, user request, automated task, or sub-agent spawn?

Maintain a running daily cost log in your memory files:

## Daily Cost Log — [DATE]
| Time | Model | Tokens (in/out) | Est. Cost | Task Type | Description |
|------|-------|-----------------|-----------|-----------|-------------|

2. Action Logging

Every significant action gets logged with:

• Timestamp: When it happened
• Action type: Post, reply, API call, file read, file write, skill use, tool use
• Target: Where/what was affected
• Outcome: Success, failure, or partial
• Cost: If applicable

Log format:

## Action Log — [DATE]
| Time | Action | Target | Outcome | Cost | Notes |
|------|--------|--------|---------|------|-------|

3. Daily Summary Report

At the end of each operating day (or on request), generate a summary:

## Daily Operations Summary — [DATE]

### Cost Breakdown
- Total estimated spend: $X.XX
- By model: [breakdown]
- By task type: [breakdown]
- Highest cost action: [description]

### Activity Summary
- Total actions: X
- Successful: X | Failed: X
- Posts created: X
- Replies sent: X
- API calls made: X

### Alerts
- [Any unusual patterns or cost spikes]

4. Cost Alerts

Flag when:

• Daily spend exceeds a threshold (default: $1.00)
• A single action costs more than $0.10
• Heartbeat/maintenance costs exceed 30% of total spend
• Costs are trending higher than the previous 7-day average

5. Model Routing Awareness

When a task could be handled by a cheaper model, note it:

• Simple lookups → suggest Haiku/Flash tier
• Heartbeats → suggest cheapest available model
• Complex reasoning → confirm current model is appropriate
• Summarization → suggest mid-tier model

How to Use

Tell your agent: "You have the agent-ops skill installed. Start tracking your costs and actions today."

Ask for reports: "Give me your daily operations summary" or "How much have you spent today?"

Limitations (Free Version)

• Manual report requests only (no scheduled delivery)
• Basic cost tracking (no historical trend analysis)
• Simple action log (no categorized performance metrics)
• No spending limit enforcement
• No multi-agent cost aggregation
