Usage Analytics Dashboard (P4)

"Know your Agent."

The Usage Analytics Dashboard (P4) provides deep insights into how your AI Agent is interacting with your project. It transforms the "Black Box" of AI operations into transparent, actionable metrics.

Features

1. Personal Stats Panel

Available in both the CLI Monitor and Web Dashboard, this panel shows: - Top Tools: Which tools does the Agent use most? (e.g., read_file vs boring_rag_search) - Activity Volume: Total API calls over time. - Efficiency: Identifying unused or redundant tool calls.

2. Self-Awareness (MCP Tool)

We introduced a specific tool, boring_usage_stats, that allows the Agent to introspect its own behavior. - Prompt: "How much have I used the RAG tools today?" - Response: The Agent queries usage.json and reports its own efficiency.

Accessing the Dashboard

Data Storage

Stats are persisted in ~/.boring/usage.json. This JSON file acts as the "Long-Term Episodic Memory" for tool usage patterns.
