Know what your AI use adds up to.

AI activity and cost, with the context to act.

Connect tool reach, agent autonomy, declared access and available token usage across the fleet. See what changed, where cost comes from and what deserves a closer look.

How Monitor works

From scattered reports to a useful explanation.

Follow the same evidence from the tool to its usage and cost. Keep the source visible so your team can distinguish a finding from an assumption.

01One tool. A view across the fleet.
01 / See reach

One tool. A view across the fleet.

Monitor uses the same Layer 1 Agent reports, with no second agent to install. It brings AI apps, agents, MCP servers and skills into fleet views. Prioritise tools by reach and their standing against company policy.

  • Sanctioned, unsanctioned and undecided tools
  • Configured unattended modes and permission settings
  • Declared external MCP hosts and credential-bearing connections
02 / Add context

Follow the usage to its source.

Investigate available token records by tool, model, device and project. Review account and attribution context where the source provides it.

  • Compare consumption across tools and models
  • Trace a change to the reporting source
  • Keep missing attribution and unpriced models visible
03 / Review value

Review value with evidence.

Find the consumption that needs a conversation: a sudden increase, overlapping tools or usage disconnected from expected work. Pair usage evidence with business outcomes to assess value.

  • Review token cost alongside licences and provider invoices
  • Use team or employee-size comparisons only with a reliable mapping
  • Treat high usage as a signal to investigate—not proof of waste
The cost behind the activity

Token cost you can explain.

Monitor calculates token cost from available usage and a versioned price table. It is not a complete bill or an automatic ROI score.

01

Usage source

Available token counts by tool and model, connected to device or project context.

What was measured
02

Price basis

A versioned model price table makes the calculation reviewable.

How it was priced
03

Unpriced usage

Keep usage visible when a model has no applicable price. Missing price is not zero cost.

What is incomplete
04

Business context

Combine usage with subscriptions, contracts, headcount and outcomes for your own value review.

What your team adds

Trust the context

Visibility without reading every conversation.

Usage metadata can answer many operational questions without collecting what employees type.

Content controls

Conversation titles and messages are separate administrator-controlled collection choices, off by default.

Attribution limits

Device and project context depends on the source. Do not assume a device identifies a person or that all AI cost is attributable.

Reporting health

A quiet or paused device is not evidence of no AI activity. Review last reports and collection coverage alongside the totals.

Your next step

Turn an observation into a decision.

Review undecided tools and risky configurations with the right owners. Govern records the policy decision; the next device reports show its effect.
