What drives the API cost
A model API bills by the token, with one price for input and a higher one for output. Input is everything a request carries: the system prompt, the conversation so far, tool definitions and whatever tool or scan output you pass back. Output is what the model writes. An agent resends its context on every turn, so in agent-driven security work input tokens usually dominate the bill, and the number of requests matters more than the length of any one answer.
How to read the estimate
The estimator multiplies your average request by the model’s prices, then by requests per day and by days. Cost per request tells you which model fits the task. Cost per day tells you whether the pace is sustainable. The engagement figure is the number to put in a proposal, with headroom: these are averages you typed in, not a quote, and the real bill follows the tokens actually used. The last rows show how many requests and days of that usage $10, $50 and $200 of prepaid credit cover.
Ways to bring the cost down
- Keep the stable part of the prompt first and unchanged, so a model with a cached-input price can bill it at the cached rate.
- Trim tool output before passing it back. A summary of a long scan result costs a fraction of the raw text on every later turn.
- Send routine steps to a cheaper build and keep the larger model for the hard reasoning.
