Hard-codes a 'never show cost_weight as a dollar figure' rule plus a verbatim pre-results disclaimer; run against its own worked example (62.3 TiB log ingest, 51.5M RUM sessions) it refuses the fabricated $ estimates a bare model would guess at.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

  • Installs cleanly 5/5
  • Triggers reliably 5/5
  • Output vs. baseline 9/10
  • Docs & honesty 5/5

What DT Platform Costs does

Builds and interprets DQL queries against dt.system.events (BILLING_USAGE_EVENT) to answer usage/cost-driver/chargeback/spike-investigation questions for Dynatrace Platform Subscription tenants, with a strict intent-routing table to the right reference doc. Explicitly refuses to answer conceptual billing-explainer or entitlement questions or query-cost-optimization requests, redirecting those elsewhere instead of guessing.
