Tool usage

The Tool usage screen is the organization's picture of tool calls through the MCP gateway, the counterpart to Organization spend for model calls.

What it shows​

Across the top, three figures for the selected window: total tool calls, how many connectors were active, and the busiest connector. A time-range selector controls the window, and a trend chart shows the longer arc.

Below that, a breakdown with two tabs: by connector, showing calls and share per connector, and by tool, showing the same per individual tool.

Reading it​

The two tabs answer different questions. By connector tells you which integrations are earning their keep, which is what you want when deciding whether to keep maintaining one. By tool tells you which specific capabilities people actually use, which is more useful when tuning what a connector exposes.

A connector registered but absent from this list is not being used at all. Either nobody has been granted access, nobody has connected a client, or it is not serving. The Connectors screen's group-access column usually distinguishes the first from the others.

Tool calls, not model calls​

This screen counts tool calls through the MCP gateway. It does not count model requests, and the two are not comparable: a single conversation might make one model call and a dozen tool calls, or the reverse. For model spend, see Organization.

Next steps​

  • Connectors to change which connectors exist and who may reach them.
  • Forward audit logs if you need this data in your own systems rather than in the console.
