What problem does it solve?
Investigating Copilot and agentic workflow telemetry is difficult when token usage, model usage, and execution timing data are scattered across OpenTelemetry exports. This Skill provides guidance for querying and interpreting that telemetry so you can understand where tokens and time are spent.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Local JSONL Inspection: Prefer direct inspection of exported
COPILOT_OTEL_FILE_EXPORTER_PATH JSONL files when an OTEL export is available.
- Token Summarization: Summarize token counts by model, agent step, and request type to identify cost and usage patterns.
- Diagnostic Interpretation: Treat missing or malformed OTEL records as diagnostic data rather than workflow failures.
- Use Case: After running an agentic workflow, point the AI at the exported OTEL JSONL file to get a breakdown of token consumption per model and per agent step, plus execution timing anomalies.
Quick Start
Analyze the Copilot OTEL export file and summarize token usage by model and agent step.
