## FAQ

### Does it require an internet connection to track costs?

No, it runs 100% locally on your machine with no cloud required.

### How does it get the token counts?

It can read session logs already on your disk or use an optional local proxy to record exact tokens returned by your provider.

### Can my AI agent access its own history?

Yes, by running the init command, you can register an MCP server that allows agents to query their own history.

### Is my session data uploaded to the cloud?

No, everything is stored in a local SQLite file and session content is never uploaded without explicit consent.
