What is token logging?

Token logging is the practice of recording and monitoring the tokens consumed by AI interactions across your organization. Tokens are the units AI models use to process text, and tracking them is essential for cost management, security auditing, and usage optimization.

Logging Capabilities

What token logging provides

Every feature designed to help your team work smarter with AI.

01

Usage tracking

Monitor token consumption across users, teams, and AI models to understand where your AI budget is being spent.

02

Cost attribution

Attribute AI costs to specific teams, projects, or use cases for accurate budgeting and chargeback.

03

Anomaly detection

Identify unusual spikes in token usage that may indicate misuse, data exfiltration, or runaway automation.

04

Per-user tracking

See individual token consumption to identify power users, training needs, and potential policy violations.

05

Historical trends

Analyze token usage over time to forecast costs, plan capacity, and demonstrate AI ROI.

06

Security monitoring

Use token logs as a security signal — unusually large prompts may indicate data exfiltration attempts.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions

What are tokens in AI?

Tokens are the units AI models use to process text. A token is roughly three-quarters of a word in English. Both input prompts and output responses consume tokens, and pricing is based on total token usage.

Does TeamPrompt track token usage?

TeamPrompt tracks prompt usage and activity across AI tools. For detailed token-level cost tracking, combine TeamPrompt's usage analytics with your AI provider's billing dashboard.

How can I reduce token usage?

Optimize prompt length, use templates to avoid unnecessary verbosity, and track which prompts consume the most tokens. TeamPrompt helps by providing reusable templates that are already optimized.
