tokenomics

Unified LLM-spend ingestion engine + FinOps — one canonical ledger across OpenClaw, Zoder, Hermes, and Goose.

tokenomics is a host-neutral core (ledger → pricing → report → FinOps) plus thin per-host ingestion adapters. Each host's native usage is mapped into one canonical ledger row, so spend from different agent runtimes lands in a single report.

Distributed on PyPI as ncz-tokenomics; the import package, the tokenomics command, and the Hermes plugin are all named tokenomics.

Canonical ledger row

{ ts_utc, provider, model, tokens_in, tokens_out, cost_usd,
  caller?, task?, tier?, cache_hit_ratio? }   # last four = optional FinOps tags

Cost precedence is host-neutral: host-reported cost → pricing-catalog estimate → $0 (never invented).

Hosts

Goose and Hermes are pulled read-only from their existing stores — no host modification.

Install

pip install ncz-tokenomics

CLI

tokenomics ingest --host goose  --ledger ledger.jsonl
tokenomics ingest --host hermes --ledger ledger.jsonl --pricing pricing.json
tokenomics report --ledger ledger.jsonl --days 30
tokenomics finops --ledger ledger.jsonl --days 30

Hermes plugin

Installing the package exposes a Hermes plugin via the hermes_agent.plugins entry point. Enable it in ~/.hermes/config.yaml:

plugins:
  enabled:
    - tokenomics

Then, from Hermes's own session store:

hermes tokenomics            # sync ~/.hermes/state.db -> ledger, print spend report
hermes tokenomics --finops   # FinOps view (allocation / realized-rate / advisor / forecast)
hermes tokenomics --ingest-only

Read-only over Hermes's own state.db; no Hermes core changes.
