Investigation Cost More Than Expected

A few things can cause a run to consume more credits than typical:

Multi-step workflows

A request that triggers RCA, code analysis, and PR generation consumes credits for all three steps. This is intended. Use the tool call transparency in the conversation to see what each step cost.

Repeated tool calls during investigation

When Agent0 forms and tests hypotheses, it may run multiple queries against your telemetry. Each query consumes tokens. This is how investigations work. The alternative is shallow guesses that don't reach root cause.

Large repository clones

If Agent0 needs to clone a large repository to investigate a code-level issue, the analysis consumes more tokens than a query-only investigation. The first investigation against a given repository is typically the most expensive; subsequent runs benefit from cached context.
