What should you keep in mind?

The dashboard tracks features used on at least two days in a 28-day period. CLI reports include skills, custom agents, MCP connections and plugins. Customer-defined names are grouped to protect privacy. MCP counts represent connection attempts, including failures, rather than individual tool calls; plugin and skill totals overlap.
