Budgets, Usage, and Audit
Budgets, usage tracking, and audit logs are the operational side of control in ThinkWork.
Budgets
Section titled “Budgets”Budgets let you cap spending at the agent, tenant, or automation level. When a budget is exceeded, ThinkWork can alert or suspend work depending on configuration.
Usage tracking
Section titled “Usage tracking”ThinkWork tracks usage at the turn level, including:
- input and output tokens
- estimated cost
- model used
- duration
- tool activity
That makes it possible to understand both spend and behavior.
Auditability
Section titled “Auditability”Agent invocations are also written to an audit log in S3 in your AWS account.
This gives operators a durable record for:
- debugging
- compliance review
- incident investigation
- cost analysis
Why this matters
Section titled “Why this matters”Control is not just about blocking bad output. It is also about being able to answer practical questions later, like:
- what happened
- what it cost
- which agent did it
- which policy or budget boundary fired
