Can I check real-time API activity?

Yes, by using the --realtime flag, the skill reads 'audited_resource' logs from Cloud Logging to show the most recent API method calls and their statuses.

What permissions are required for this skill?

The user must have permissions to run BigQuery jobs on the billing export project and 'logging.logEntries.list' permissions on the target GCP project.

How does this skill calculate GCP costs?

The skill executes queries against your BigQuery billing export dataset, aggregating cost and usage data by service and SKU description over the last 7 days.

Can I monitor a specific project instead of the default?

Absolutely. You can provide a specific project ID as an argument to both the standard billing query and the real-time logging command.

クラウドインフラストラクチャ

Monitors and analyzes Google Cloud Platform API usage and SKU-level costs directly within the Claude Code interface.

The GCP API Usage Monitor skill empowers developers to track resource consumption and costs across Google Cloud projects. By querying BigQuery billing exports and Cloud Logging, it provides detailed insights into SKU-specific usage, project-level service consumption, and real-time API activity. It is particularly useful for identifying cost drivers, auditing service activity, and ensuring that infrastructure usage aligns with budgetary constraints without needing to switch to the GCP Console.
