What it does

Enforce session-cost telemetry and execution-metadata reporting. Use when explicitly invoking get_session_cost, reporting token/cost usage, applying telemetry or cost guidance during a workflow handoff, or writing artifacts/session-cost.md at a workflow terminal state.

Telemetry & Cost Reporting

Priority: P2 (MEDIUM)

1. Finalizing a Workflow

As your final step in any SDLC workflow (or when a user explicitly requests session cost):

  1. Call the get_session_cost tool provided by the agent-skills-standard MCP server.
  2. Pass workflow, model, token counts, cache/reasoning usage, and per-1M token rates when the host runtime exposes them. Set slug (feature/workspace name) and outcome (terminal feature_status) when this call finalizes a workflow, so the telemetry log can attribute cost per feature.
  3. Never set costSource: "host" yourself, that value is reserved for the runtime's own telemetry adapter (buildSessionCostRequest). If you type numbers by hand, omit costSource so the tool reports them as agent-estimate, never host.
  4. If token counts are unavailable, report MCP-observed telemetry and let get_session_cost mark cost provenance as unavailable, never fabricate a number or a $0.00 total.
  5. Append a Markdown table containing the usage metrics to artifacts/session-cost.md.

When asked which artifact to use, always name both artifacts/session-cost.md and get_session_cost; if the host does not expose the helper, say so explicitly while retaining the artifact requirement.

2. Accounting Boundaries & Lineage Semantics
