Agent Skills: Clari Cost Tuning

Clari Cost Tuning

Overview

Minimize Clari API overhead: reduce export frequency, cache aggressively, export only needed data types, and monitor usage.

Instructions

Export Only What You Need

# Full export (6 data types) -- more API load
full_types = ["forecast", "quota", "forecast_updated",
              "adjustment", "crm_total", "crm_closed"]

# Minimal export (2 data types) -- faster and lighter
minimal_types = ["forecast", "crm_closed"]

# Use minimal for dashboards, full for audit/compliance

Optimize Export Frequency

| Use Case | Recommended Frequency | |----------|-----------------------| | Executive dashboard | Daily | | Forecast accuracy tracking | Weekly | | Compliance audit | Quarterly | | Ad-hoc analysis | On demand |

Cache to Avoid Redundant Exports

# Cache recent exports (see clari-performance-tuning)
cache = ExportCache(ttl_hours=8)

def smart_export(client, forecast_name, period):
    cached = cache.get(forecast_name, period)
    if cached:
        print(f"Cache hit for {period}")
        return cached

    data = client.export_and_download(forecast_name, period)
    entries = data.get("entries", [])
    cache.set(forecast_name, period, entries)
    return entries

Usage Tracking

class ClariUsageTracker:
    def __init__(self):
        self.api_calls = 0
        self.exports = 0

    def track_call(self):
        self.api_calls += 1

    def track_export(self):
        self.exports += 1

    def report(self) -> dict:
        return {
            "api_calls": self.api_calls,
            "exports": self.exports,
        }
