UnverifiedIn an append-only agent loop, large tool outputs are billed repeatedly in every subsequent turn, causing token costs to multiply.72% similarUnverifiedIf a single request fills close to one million tokens of input, the input cost alone approaches $3, making cost control for frequent processing of very long contexts a factor that must be weighed during deployment.71% similarUnverifiedZapier bills by the number of task executions, and costs rise noticeably in high-frequency automation scenarios.71% similarUnverifiedEach Agent incurs token costs when calling large language models in the background, and the costs accumulated from a large number of Agents running continuously may far exceed expectations.69% similarUnverified生产环境中Agent的System Prompt长度可能从几百Token膨胀至数千Token，导致每次调用的基础成本大幅抬升68% similar
