Token Management
Control and monitor token usage
Agents can track and limit token usage for cost control.
Quick Start
- Simple Usage
typescript import { Agent } from 'praisonai'; const agent = new Agent({ instructions: 'You are concise', maxTokens: 1000 // Limit output tokens }); await agent.chat('Write a summary'); - With Configuration
typescript const result = await agent.chat('Hello'); console.log('Tokens used:', result.usage); // { input: 5, output: 20, total: 25 }
User Interaction Flow
Configuration Levels
// Level 1: Number - Simple limit
const agent = new Agent({
maxTokens: 1000
});
// Level 2: Dict - Multiple limits
const agent = new Agent({
tokens: {
maxInput: 4000,
maxOutput: 1000
}
});
// Level 3: Instance - Full control
const agent = new Agent({
tokens: {
maxInput: 4000,
maxOutput: 2000,
maxTotal: 8000,
trackUsage: true,
onLimit: (usage) => console.warn('Limit reached')
}
});Token Options
| Option | Description |
|---|---|
maxTokens | Limit output tokens |
maxInput | Limit input tokens |
maxTotal | Total token budget |
trackUsage | Enable usage tracking |

Best Practices
Set output limits
Prevent unexpectedly long responses.
Track usage
Monitor costs with trackUsage.
Estimate costs
Use token counts to estimate API costs.
