Create-cost-alert
Create a new Cost Alert in Vantage. Cost Alerts are threshold-based spending alerts for one or more Cost Reports. Use this tool when a user asks to create, add, or set up a cost alert, spending alert, budget alert, threshold alert, or spend-limit notification. Do not use this for Report Notifications, scheduled report summaries, or recurring Cost Report delivery.
ActionTry it
Create-cost-report
Create a new Cost Report in Vantage. Cost Reports are saved queries that can be used to track and analyze spending over time. They can be filtered using VQL (Vantage Query Language) and configured with various display options. VQL Filtering Guide: All costs originate from a Cost Provider (generally a cloud company like AWS, Azure, Datadog) and then filter on a service that they provide (like EC2, S3, etc). A cost provider is required on every VQL query. VQL is always in parenthesis. Always use single quotes around names that are being queried. Basic VQL Syntax: - Query on a cost provider: (costs.provider = '<provider name>') - Query on a service: (costs.provider = '<provider name>' AND costs.service = '<service name>') - Multiple providers: ((costs.provider = 'aws') OR (costs.provider = 'azure')) - Multiple services: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND costs.service IN ('AWSQueueService', 'AWSLambda')) - Filter by region: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND costs.region = 'us-east-1') - Filter by account: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND costs.account_id = '1000000717') Tag Filtering: - Tag with specific value: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = 'environment' AND tags.value = 'production') - Any value of a tag: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = 'environment') - Resources without a tag: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = NULL) - Multiple tag values: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = 'environment' AND (tags.value = 'dev' OR tags.value = 'staging')) Use get-myself to find available workspaces and list-cost-providers/list-cost-services to find valid provider and service names for your VQL queries.
ActionTry it
Create-dashboard

You can optionally attach widgets (by their widgetable_token) and saved filters, and you can control the time range using either: - date_interval (recommended), or - start_date + end_date (custom range) Note: start_date/end_date are incompatible with date_interval. The list of supported widgets is: - cost reports - usage reports - resource reports - kubernetes efficiency reports - financial commitment reports - recommendation saved views The token returned in the response can be used to link to the Dashboard in the Vantage Web UI: https://console.vantage.sh/go/<token>
ActionTry it
Create-financial-commitment-report
Create a new Financial Commitment Report in Vantage. Financial Commitment Reports track committed spend and on-demand costs over time. They can be filtered using VQL and grouped by dimensions such as commitment type, service, region, or tags. VQL Filtering Guide: Financial Commitment Report VQL uses the financial_commitments namespace. A provider filter should be included in each query, and string values should be wrapped in single quotes. Basic VQL Syntax: - Query on a provider: (financial_commitments.provider = 'aws') - Query on a service: (financial_commitments.provider = 'aws' AND financial_commitments.service = 'AmazonEC2') - Multiple services: (financial_commitments.provider = 'aws' AND financial_commitments.service IN ('AmazonEC2','AmazonRDS')) - Filter by billing account: (financial_commitments.provider = 'aws' AND financial_commitments.provider_account_id = '123456789012') - Filter by region: (financial_commitments.provider = 'aws' AND financial_commitments.region = 'us-east-1') - Filter by tag: (financial_commitments.provider = 'aws' AND financial_commitments.resource_tags->>'environment' = 'production') Use get-myself to find available workspaces. Use the VQL for Financial Commitment Reports resource for the full list of available financial_commitments fields and examples.

List-cost-reports
List all cost reports available. Cost reports are already created reports authored by a user in Vantage. If the user isn't asking about a specific report, it's better to use the query-costs tool. When you first call this function, use the "Page" parameter of 1. The 'Title' of a report is a good way to know what the report is about. The 'filter' of a report also gives clues to the data it provides. The 'token' of a report is a unique identifier for the report. It can be used to generate a link to the report in the Vantage Web UI. If a user wants to see a report, you can link them like this: https://console.vantage.sh/go/<token> Vantage offers data related to a cost report: Forecasts. The same report token can be used on the get-cost-report-forecast tool and Vantage will forecast future costs.
ActionTry it
List-cost-services

ActionTry it
List-costs
List the cost items inside a report. The Token of a Report must be provided. Use the page value of 1 to start. The report token can be used to link the user to the report in the Vantage Web UI. Build the link like this: https://console.vantage.sh/go/<CostReportToken> The DateBin parameter controls the time granularity of returned results. When DateBin=day you get a record for each service spend on that day. For DateBin=week you get one entry per week, with the accrued_at field set to the first day of the week, but the spend item represents spend for a full week. Same with DateBin=month, each record returned covers a month of data. This lets you get answers with processing fewer records. If omitted, the API uses the cost report's configured date bin, or day if the report has no override. Cost settings (credits, refunds, discounts, tax, amortization, etc.) default to the report's own settings. Only provide these parameters if you need to override the report's defaults. Use settings_aggregate_by to choose the metric: cost (default), usage, or count. When aggregate_by is count, the response includes total_count and counts (date-binned distinct Group By permutation counts for the full requested period). Count is not supported for segment reports.

When using a resource_report_token, you get the pre-filtered resources from that report. When using VQL filters with workspace_token, you can dynamically query resources across your infrastructure. Provide either resource_report_token or filter (not both). When using filter, workspace_token is required. VQL for Resource Reports enables filtering using two primary namespaces: **Resources Namespace** - Access infrastructure attributes: - resources.provider (AWS, GCP, Azure, etc.) - resources.region (geographic location codes) - resources.account_id and resources.provider_account_id - resources.type (resource classification) - resources.label and resources.uuid (identifiers) - resources.metadata (detailed resource properties using ->> operator, e.g., resources.metadata->>'architecture') **Tags Namespace** - Tag-based filtering: - tags.name (tag key) - tags.value (tag content) VQL supports standard logical operators (AND, OR) and specialized functions: - Pattern Matching: LIKE and NOT LIKE for substring searches - Comparisons: IN/NOT IN for list evaluation; !=, <, >, <=, >= for values - Metadata Queries: >> operator for resource metadata (e.g., resources.metadata->>'architecture') VQL Representation of Resource Types: | Provider | VQL Representation | Friendly Name | |---|---|---| | AWS | aws_auto_scaling_group | Auto Scaling Group | | AWS | aws_cloudtrail | CloudTrail | | AWS | aws_cloudwatch_log_group | CloudWatch Log Group | | AWS | aws_db_instance | RDS Instance (NOT aws_rds_instance) | | AWS | aws_db_snapshot | RDS Snapshot (NOT aws_rds_snapshot) | | AWS | aws_docdb_cluster_instance | DocumentDB Cluster Instance | | AWS | aws_dynamodb_table | DynamoDB Table | | AWS | aws_ebs_volume | EBS Volume | | AWS | aws_instance | EC2 Instance (NOT aws_ec2_instance) | | AWS | aws_ec2_managed_prefix_list | EC2 Managed Prefix List | | AWS | aws_ec2_reserved_instance | EC2 Reserved Instance | | AWS | aws_ecs_service | ECS Service | | AWS | aws_ecs_task_definition | ECS Task Definition | | AWS | aws_egress_only_internet_gateway | Egress-Only Internet Gateway | | AWS | aws_eip | Elastic IP | | AWS | aws_elasticache_cluster | ElastiCache Cluster | | AWS | aws_elasticsearch_domain | Elasticsearch Domain | | AWS | aws_flow_log | Flow Log | | AWS | aws_glacier_vault | Glacier Vault | | AWS | aws_instance_snapshot | EC2 Instance Snapshot (NOT aws_ebs_snapshot) | | AWS | aws_internet_gateway | Internet Gateway | | AWS | aws_kms_key | KMS Key | | AWS | aws_lambda_function | Lambda Function | | AWS | aws_lb | Load Balancer | | AWS | aws_nat_gateway | NAT Gateway | | AWS | aws_rds_reserved_instance | RDS Reserved Instance | | AWS | aws_redshift_cluster | Redshift Cluster | | AWS | aws_s3_bucket | S3 Bucket | | AWS | aws_savings_plan | Savings Plan | | AWS | aws_secretsmanager_secret | Secrets Manager Secret | | AWS | aws_vpc | VPC | | AWS | aws_vpc_endpoint | VPC Endpoint | | AWS | aws_vpn_gateway | VPN Gateway | Example VQL queries: - Multi-provider: (resources.provider IN ('aws', 'gcp')) - Regional: (resources.provider = 'aws' AND resources.region = 'us-east-1') - Resource type: (resources.provider = 'aws' AND resources.type = 'aws_instance') - Metadata: (resources.provider = 'aws' AND resources.metadata->>'architecture' = 'x86_64') - Tags: (resources.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = 'environment' AND tags.value = 'production') - Untagged resources: (resources.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = NULL) Set include_cost to true to get cost breakdowns by category for each resource. Use the page parameter starting with 1 for pagination. Resources include metadata specific to their type (EC2 instances show instance type, EBS volumes show size, etc.). Each resource has a unique token that can be used to get more details or link to the Vantage Web UI.

List-recommendation-views
List all recommendation views available in the Vantage account. Recommendation views are saved filters for cost optimization recommendations. Use the page value of 1 to start. The title of a recommendation view is a good way to understand what optimization scope it represents. The token of a recommendation view is its unique identifier and can be used to link the user to the view in the Vantage Web UI. Build the link like this: https://console.vantage.sh/go/<token> The workspace token, date range, providers, accounts, regions, and tag fields provide additional context about which recommendations are included in the view.
ActionTry it
List-recommendations
List all cost optimization recommendations available in the Vantage account. Recommendations are AI-powered suggestions that help identify opportunities to reduce costs and optimize cloud spending across your infrastructure. Use the page value of 1 to start pagination. Recommendations include various types such as: - EC2 rightsizing (resize overprovisioned instances) - Unused financial commitments (unused Reserved Instances or Savings Plans) - Idle resources (running but unused instances, volumes, load balancers) - Storage optimization (EBS volume type recommendations) - Reserved Instance and Savings Plan purchase recommendations Each recommendation includes: - Potential cost savings amount - Description of what can be optimized - Provider and service information - Number of resources affected - Current status (open, resolved, dismissed) Recommendations can be filtered by: - Status (open shows active recommendations, resolved shows implemented ones, dismissed shows ignored ones) - Cloud provider via provider (single) or provider_ids (multiple; requires workspace_token) — only use these when the user explicitly specifies cloud providers; do not infer or default to all providers - Specific workspace via workspace_token - Provider account ID via provider_account_id (single) or account_ids (multiple; requires workspace_token) - Billing account via billing_account_ids (requires workspace_token) - Region via regions (requires workspace_token) - Tag key/value pair via tag_key + tag_value (both required together; requires workspace_token) — use this when users ask about recommendations for a specific virtual tag, e.g. "recommendations for department=engineering" - Date range via start_date + end_date in YYYY-MM-DD format (both required together; requires workspace_token) - Minimum monthly potential savings via min_savings - Recommendation type via type (case-insensitive fuzzy matching; e.g. "AWS recommendations" -> type=aws; "EC2 rightsizing" -> type=aws:ec2:rightsizing) The token of each recommendation can be used with other recommendation tools to get detailed information and see specific resources affected. For users to view and manage recommendations in the Vantage Web UI, they can visit https://console.vantage.sh/recommendations
ActionTry it
List-report-forecasts
List scenario-model ReportForecasts for a Cost Report. ReportForecasts assign ScenarioModels (and optionally a BusinessMetric) to a Cost Report for planning views. Use page 1 when calling this tool for the first time. Keep calling with pagination.nextPage until pagination.hasNextPage is false when listing all forecasts. The token of a ReportForecast can be used with get-report-forecast, update-report-forecast, and delete-report-forecast. Requires Scenario Models (Enterprise). A 403 means the account is not entitled.
ActionTry it
List-report-notifications
List Report Notifications available in the Vantage account. Report Notifications are scheduled deliveries of Cost Report summaries to users, Slack channels, or Microsoft Teams channels. Use this tool when a user asks to list, show, view, or find scheduled report notifications or recurring Cost Report summaries. Use the page value of 1 to start. Do not use this for Cost Alerts, budget alerts, threshold alerts, or spend-limit notifications. Cost Alerts are threshold-based spending alerts; Report Notifications are scheduled report deliveries.

ActionTry it
List-resource-reports
List all resource reports available. Resource reports are already created reports authored by a user in Vantage. When you first call this function, use the "Page" parameter of 1. The 'Title' of a report is a good way to know what the report is about. The 'filter' of a report also gives clues to the data it provides. The 'token' of a report is a unique identifier for the report. It can be used to generate a link to the report in the Vantage Web UI. If a user wants to see a report, you can link them like this: https://console.vantage.sh/go/<token>
ActionTry it
List-scenario-models

ActionTry it
Query-costs
Query for costs in a Vantage Account. These are independent of a cost reports. Use Vantage VQL to structure a query. Queries must be scoped to a Workspace. Use the get-myself tool to know about available workspaces, and the get-cost-integrations tool to know about available cost providers. If the user didn't tell you a workspace it is best to ask them than to guess it. It's best to set a date range of 30 days unless the user specifically wants to query for a longer time period. When a user asks for data from an account, use the "get-cost-provider-accounts" tool to match a name to an account. With that result, always use the account_id in the account_id parameter for this tool. Here is some more detailed info on using VQL: All costs originate from a Cost Provider (generally a cloud company like AWS, Azure, Datadog) and then filter on a service that they provide (like EC2, S3, etc). A cost provider is required on every VQL query. VQL is always in parenthesis. Always use single quotes around names that are being queried. To query on a cost provider, use this syntax: (costs.provider = '<provider name>'). The provider name must come from the list-cost-providers tool. To query on a cost service, use this syntax: (costs.provider = '<provider name>' AND costs.service = '<service name>'). For AWS, costs.service must be a CUR identifier (e.g. 'AmazonEC2', 'AmazonVPC', 'AWSDirectConnect'). Use vql_info to resolve aliases — not display names from list-cost-services. If a query returns no rows, run one broad probe query first (provider only, date_bin=month, wide date range) to learn available months and service identifiers before retrying with a narrower filter. For month-over-month comparisons, span both months in start_date/end_date with date_bin=month and settings_show_previous_period=true instead of separate queries per month. Prefer one query-costs call with all needed groupings (e.g. service, account_id, tag:<key>) over multiple calls that only change groupings. You can only filter against one cost provider at a time. If you want to query for costs from two providers, you need to use the OR operator. Example: ((costs.provider = 'aws') OR (costs.provider = 'azure')) You can otherwise use the IN system to compare against a list of items, like this: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND costs.service IN ('AWSQueueService', 'AWSLambda')) To filter within a cost provider, keep the cost provider part and add a AND section, example: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND costs.service = 'AmazonRDS') Many costs have tags on them. A tag is a "name" and one or more values. To find an AWS cost that has a tag of "environment" the value "production", use this syntax: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = 'environment' AND tags.value = 'production') You can also query for any value of the "environment" tag, like this: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = 'environment') Items without a tag can also be filtered, example: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = NULL) Parenthesis can be nested. Here we surround an OR clause to look for either of two values for a tag: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND tags.name = 'environment' AND (tags.value = 'dev' OR tags.value = 'staging')) A user can have more than one provider account. They can filter on provider accounts if they supply you with the account id. Example: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND costs.account_id = '1000000717') You can also combine top-level queries to find for two providers: ((costs.provider = 'datadog') OR (costs.provider = 'azure')) Some cost providers operate in a specific region, you can filter using the costs.region field. Example: (costs.provider = 'aws' AND costs.region = 'us-east-1') Note that when users want to query a Custom Provider, that has a special case. When doing a VQL query for custom provider, use the 'token' you get back from the 'list-cost-integrations' tool. Here is an example, where the token of the custom provider is "accss_crdntl_07171984": (costs.provider = 'custom_provider:accss_crdntl_07171984') The DateBin parameter controls the time granularity of returned results. When DateBin=day you get a record for each service spend on that day. For DateBin=week you get one entry per week, with the accrued_at field set to the first day of the week, but the spend item represents spend for a full week. Same with DateBin=month, each record returned covers a month of data. This lets you get answers with processing fewer records. If omitted, DateBin defaults to day. Cost settings (credits, refunds, discounts, tax, amortization, etc.) default to the workspace's default report settings. Only provide these parameters if you need to override those defaults. Use settings_aggregate_by to choose the metric: cost (default), usage, or count. When aggregate_by is count, the response includes total_count and counts (date-binned distinct Group By permutation counts for the full requested period).
