What it does

Run a daily spend check-in against a daily budget on the Agent Monitor dashboard, today's spend vs the daily target, pace through the day, and the projected overage if the current pace holds. Uses /api/pricing/cost and /api/sessions (grouped by started_at = today). Use for a quick daily spend check-in or a morning/evening budget pulse.

Daily Budget Check

A fast daily pulse: are you on pace against today's budget?

Input

The user provides: $ARGUMENTS

This is the daily budget in dollars, e.g. "5" or "$5/day". If omitted, ask for one or derive it from a monthly budget (monthly / days_in_month) and state the assumption.

Data Sources

EndpointReturns
GET /api/pricing/cost{ total_cost, breakdown: [{ model, input_tokens, output_tokens, cache_read_tokens, cache_write_tokens, cost, matched_rule }] }, fleet-wide spend and the avg cost-per-session used to value today's sessions
GET /api/sessions?limit=200Session list with inline cost and started_at, filter to today (DATE(started_at) = today) to isolate today's spend

Method

Spend has no per-day field, so isolate today from the session list:

  1. Today's sessions = sessions whose started_at is today (local date).
  2. Today's spend = sum of inline cost over today's sessions. If inline cost is absent for some rows, fall back to today_session_count × (total_cost / total_session_count) and flag it as approximate.
  3. Pace: fraction_of_day_elapsed = hours_since_midnight / 24. expected_by_now = daily_budget × fraction_of_day_elapsed.
  4. Pace delta = today_spend − expected_by_now (▲ ahead of budget / ▼ behind).
  5. End-of-day projection: projected_today = today_spend / fraction_of_day_elapsed (linear extrapolation of the current pace). Guard against tiny fraction_of_day_elapsed early in the day, if under ~0.1, label the projection low-confidence.
  6. Projected overage = projected_today − daily_budget (positive = over).

Report Sections

1. Today vs budget

One headline line: today's spend / daily budget, and the percent consumed. Verdict: under / on pace / over.

2. Pace

expected_by_now vs actual today_spend, the ▲/▼ pace delta, and the fraction of the day elapsed.
