πŸ” Optimization Opportunities

  1. Build Test Suite β€” avg 1,469K tokens/run (6 runs, 8,817K total)

    • Exceeds the 100K tokens/run threshold by 14Γ—
    • Review whether the agent is reading large files or receiving oversized context on each run
    • Consider pre-computing deterministic build/test steps in non-agent CI steps
  2. Firewall Issue Dispatcher β€” avg 617K tokens/run (2 runs, 1,233K total)

    • High per-run cost; review whether it fetches large issue lists or PR diffs unnecessarily
    • Use paginated reads (perPage: 10–20) and filter to only relevant items
  3. Duplicate Code Detector β€” 874K tokens in a single run

    • Single-run workflows at this token level suggest large codebase scans
    • Consider scoping analysis to changed files only (e.g., via git diff)
  4. Smoke Copilot β€” 1 error across 7 runs (1 cancelled run)

    • One run was cancelled; investigate if it's causing retries that inflate token usage
  5. ⚠️ Token Trend β€” Total tokens increased ~39% vs previous report (18,479K today vs 13,244K on 2026-05-06)

    • Build Test Suite is the primary driver; monitor for further increases
