MCPToolsget_usage

MCP tool: get_usage

Read your account’s current request-unit usage. Billable: no.

This is the only API-key-authenticated way to read usage — the REST equivalent, GET /v1/account/usage, is Session-authenticated only.

Input

{}

Output — success

Byte-identical to the REST GET /v1/account/usage 200 body:

{ "plan": "free", "billing_period": { "start": "2026-10-01T00:00:00Z", "end": "2026-11-01T00:00:00Z" }, "usage": { "used_units": 123, "quota_units": 500, "remaining_units": 377, "utilization": 0.246 } }

utilization is a pre-rounded ratio (4 decimal places) computed server-side — never recompute it client-side.
