What does Locus meter?+
Locus records each tool call with the customer, workspace, tool, provider, status, and usage detail needed to reconcile it. Your application keeps a call-level ledger instead of trying to reconstruct usage from provider dashboards later.
How is usage attributed to the right customer?+
Your server passes the customer or workspace context with the request. Locus carries that identity through authorization, execution, and the resulting usage record so product, finance, and support teams are looking at the same event.
How does billing collection work?+
Platforms can connect tool usage to their existing customer billing flow or work with Locus on a hosted funding experience. Customer balances and authorization checks keep collection connected to the usage that created it.
Can we control which tools customers can use?+
Yes. Platform teams can scope credentials, choose which capabilities are available, apply customer-level balances and controls, and keep tenant secrets on trusted servers rather than exposing them to an agent runtime.
Can customers see their own usage?+
The same attributed ledger can power customer-facing balances, usage history, and tool-call reporting inside your product. Locus also gives your team a consolidated view across customers and providers.
How do we get started?+
Talk to the Locus team about your agent architecture, catalog needs, customer identity model, and billing flow. We will map the integration around the way your product already works.
