# overlane observe cost

{/* Generated by apps/docs/scripts/generate.mjs (CLI pages from the command registry in packages/cli). Do not edit; run `pnpm --filter @overlane/docs gen`. */}

Cost in dollars, tokens and run counts grouped by agent, by project and for the team, from the metrics the runs reported. `overlane observe reconcile` compares the same figures with metered usage.

## Usage

```sh
overlane observe cost
```

## Examples

```sh
overlane observe cost
overlane observe cost --json
```

## Behavior

- Effect: `read` (changes nothing).
- Needs credentials: yes. Uses the network: yes.
- Supports `--dry-run`: no. Accepts `--force`: no.
- Machine-readable description: `overlane schema observe cost`.

## Result

With `--json` (the default when stdout is not a terminal) the command prints this JSON Schema's shape on stdout.
