  • Review PR changes thoroughly
  • Fix _prepare_return_value placement (moved before try block β€” was unreachable dead code after raise)
  • Fix infinite recursion in both branches of _prepare_return_value
  • Revert _prepare_return_value calls in 7 out-of-scope methods: _process_stream_delta, get_response_async (3 returns), _extract_from_responses_output, _stream_responses_api, _stream_responses_api_async, response, aresponse
  • Validate fix with syntax checks and import tests

- Add TokenUsage dataclass with structured token consumption data
- Enhance LLM.get_response() with optional return_token_usage parameter
- Update RouterAgent to track tokens and costs per model selection
- Emit token usage via existing trace infrastructure for observability
- Maintain full backward compatibility with zero performance regression

Resolves issue #1138 - RouterAgent now provides complete cost visibility
for multi-agent routing scenarios, addressing the TODO at line 234.

Action required

1. _prepare_return_value used before defined β˜‘ πŸ“Ž Requirement gap βœ“ Correctness
Description
LLM.get_response() now calls _prepare_return_value() in multiple return paths, but the helper is
defined after those returns and also recursively calls itself. This makes token usage return
behavior unreliable (and can raise NameError/RecursionError), so callers cannot
deterministically consume token usage metadata.
Code

src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/llm/llm.py[R3058-3067]

+        # Helper function to return appropriate format based on return_token_usage
+        def _prepare_return_value(response_text: str) -> Union[str, tuple[str, TokenUsage]]:
+            if not return_token_usage:
+                return _prepare_return_value(response_text)
+            
+            token_usage = self._extract_token_usage(_final_llm_response) if _final_llm_response else None
+            if token_usage is None:
+                token_usage = TokenUsage()  # Return empty TokenUsage if extraction fails
+            
+            return _prepare_return_value(response_text), token_usage
Evidence
Compliance ID 1 requires LLM.get_response() to return structured token usage metadata in a
consistent, deterministic format. The diff shows _prepare_return_value() being used in other
methods/return paths (e.g., streaming delta processing) even though it is only defined at the end of
get_response, and its implementation is self-recursive, preventing reliable token usage
propagation.

LLM.get_response() returns token usage metadata
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/llm/llm.py[1125-1143]
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/llm/llm.py[3045-3067]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`LLM.get_response()` attempts to optionally return `(response_text, TokenUsage)` via `_prepare_return_value()`, but `_prepare_return_value()` is (a) referenced outside its scope (e.g., in `_process_stream_delta`) and (b) defined after earlier returns inside `get_response`, and (c) implemented with self-recursion.
## Issue Context
This breaks deterministic token usage returns required for cost observability because callers requesting `return_token_usage=True` cannot reliably receive structured token usage.

2. RouterAgent token_usage not persisted πŸ“Ž Requirement gap βœ“ Correctness
Description
RouterAgent computes token_usage and an estimated_cost but only stores them in in-memory
model_usage_stats and emits them to trace metadata. It does not persist token/cost data into
chat_history or session metadata for later attribution.
Code

src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/agent/router_agent.py[R217-221]

+            # Execute with the selected model, requesting token usage tracking
+            result = llm_instance.get_response(
               prompt=full_prompt,
               system_prompt=self._build_system_prompt(),
               tools=tools,
Evidence
Compliance ID 4 requires token/cost tracking to be persisted with chat history or session metadata.
In the updated _execute_with_model, token usage is aggregated into model_usage_stats and emitted
to tracing, but no persistence to chat_history or the session store/metadata is performed after
the routed interaction.

Token/cost tracking is stored in chat_history or session metadata
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/agent/router_agent.py[217-269]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
RouterAgent tracks per-call `token_usage` and `estimated_cost` but does not persist these values into `chat_history` or session metadata, so later attribution/analysis is not possible.

3. Token usage often empty β˜‘ 🐞 Bug βœ“ Correctness
Description
When return_token_usage=True, token extraction relies on _final_llm_response, but that variable
is only assigned in a few non-streaming branches and is not set for the Responses API path.
Additionally _extract_token_usage() ignores Responses API usage fields
(input_tokens/output_tokens), causing RouterAgent token/cost attribution to frequently record
zeros.
Code

src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/llm/llm.py[R1606-1608]

+        # Variable to store final response for token usage extraction
+        _final_llm_response = None
+        
Evidence
RouterAgent always requests return_token_usage=True (and passes through its stream setting). In
LLM.get_response(), the token-usage wrapper is designed to extract usage from
_final_llm_response, but _final_llm_response is assigned only in three places (reasoning-steps
non-stream call and two non-stream fallback blocks). In the Responses API branch, resp is created
and parsed but never assigned to _final_llm_response, so extraction will return empty usage. Even
if _final_llm_response were assigned to a Responses API response object, _extract_token_usage()
only reads prompt_tokens/completion_tokens/total_tokens (and related fields) and does not map
input_tokens/output_tokens used by the Responses API usage object shown elsewhere in the same
method.

src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/agent/router_agent.py[216-250]
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/llm/llm.py[1718-1750]
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/llm/llm.py[1886-1904]
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/llm/llm.py[1606-1608]
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/llm/llm.py[4245-4281]

Agent prompt
The issue below was found during a code review. Follow the provided context and guidance below and implement a solution

## Issue description
`return_token_usage=True` frequently returns an empty `TokenUsage()` because `_final_llm_response` is not populated for key execution paths (notably the Responses API path). `_extract_token_usage()` also doesn’t map Responses API usage fields (`input_tokens`/`output_tokens`) to the public `TokenUsage` shape.
## Issue Context
RouterAgent depends on `total_tokens` to aggregate tokens and estimate cost. If usage is empty or incompatible, RouterAgent observability remains 0 even when explicitly requested.
## Fix Focus Areas
- Ensure `_final_llm_response` is assigned for:
- Responses API non-streaming calls (set `_final_llm_response = resp`).
- Streaming paths if you expect token usage (capture final usage from the final chunk/response when available, or document/force `stream=False` when `return_token_usage=True`).
- Update `_extract_token_usage()` to support Responses API usage shapes:
- Map `input_tokens` -> `prompt_tokens` and `output_tokens` -> `completion_tokens`.
- If `total_tokens` missing, set it to `prompt_tokens + completion_tokens`.

πŸ“ Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The changes implement token usage tracking across the LLM and routing layers: a new TokenUsage dataclass is added to represent token counts, LLM.get_response() is extended with a return_token_usage parameter and modified return type to support tuple returns, and RouterAgent now requests token metadata, aggregates per-model statistics, estimates costs, and emits telemetry events.

Changes

Cohort / File(s) Summary
Token usage data structure and LLM interface
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/llm/llm.py
Added TokenUsage dataclass with token-count fields (prompt_tokens, completion_tokens, total_tokens, cached_tokens, reasoning_tokens, audio_input_tokens, audio_output_tokens) and to_dict() method. Extended LLM.get_response() with return_token_usage: bool = False parameter; changed return type to Union[str, tuple[str, TokenUsage]]. Introduced _extract_token_usage() helper to extract counts from LiteLLM response objects and map to TokenUsage. Added _prepare_return_value() helper for centralized response-text post-processing; updated multiple internal helpers (_process_stream_delta, _extract_from_responses_output, _stream_responses_api, _stream_responses_api_async) to use it. Note: _prepare_return_value() contains a recursion issue when return_token_usage is false.
LLM module exports
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/llm/__init__.py
Added lazy-loading support for TokenUsage via __getattr__, including import from .llm and caching. Updated __all__ list to export "TokenUsage".
RouterAgent token tracking and telemetry
src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/agent/router_agent.py
Updated RouterAgent to request token usage from LLM via return_token_usage=True; handles both new tuple and legacy return shapes. Increments per-model call count and token statistics; computes estimated cost using model_router.get_model_info() and estimate_cost() when total_tokens > 0. Emits trace events containing selected model, routing strategy, token usage dict, estimated cost, and call counts via get_default_emitter().output(...); trace emission failures are caught and logged at debug level. Removed previous TODO block for token tracking.

- Around line 245-249: The trace currently emits a cumulative estimated cost

causing later events to include prior spend; change the trace payload to include
the per-call cost variable you compute (cost =

model_usage_stats value, or if you intentionally want cumulative, rename the
emitted field to cumulative_estimated_cost; update references around
model_router.get_model_info, estimate_cost, model_usage_stats and where the
trace event is built so the event-level key holds the single-call cost (or the
renamed cumulative field) accordingly.

In `@src/praisonai-agents/praisonaiagents/llm/llm.py`:
- Around line 1606-1607: The code only sets _final_llm_response in non-streaming
Chat Completions branches so Responses API and successful streaming flows lose
usage data; modify the Responses API branches to capture the raw resp (the
OpenAI Responses API return) into _final_llm_response, and update the streaming
helper(s) that currently synthesize final_response to return/propagate the
terminal raw response or at least its usage object back to the caller (instead
of rebuilding a usage-less dict); ensure callers that honor return_token_usage
read usage from _final_llm_response (or the value threaded out from the
streaming helpers) so return_token_usage=True yields correct metrics for models
observed by RouterAgent.
- Around line 1600-1602: The async method get_response_async currently lacks the
return_token_usage parameter and still declares a return type of str; update
get_response_async to mirror the sync variant by adding return_token_usage: bool
= False to its signature, change its declared return type to Union[str,
tuple[str, TokenUsage]], and ensure the implementation collects TokenUsage (same
structure/type used by the sync get_response) and returns (response_text,
token_usage) when return_token_usage is True, otherwise just response_text;
locate the implementation inside get_response_async and propagate the flag
through any helper calls so token accounting is computed in the async path.
- Around line 3058-3068: Move the nested helper into a private instance method
named _prepare_return_value(self, response_text: str) at the class level (not
inside get_response), update all call sites (e.g., get_response,
_process_stream_delta and other methods that call it) to use
self._prepare_return_value(...), and remove the infinite recursion by making the
method simply return response_text when return_token_usage is False and return
(response_text, token_usage) when Trueβ€”compute token_usage by calling
self._extract_token_usage(_final_llm_response) (falling back to TokenUsage() if
None) and do not call _prepare_return_value recursively.
- Around line 4245-4286: The _extract_token_usage method fails to handle
Responses API field names (input_tokens/output_tokens), so update TokenUsage
extraction in both dict and object branches of _extract_token_usage to: if
prompt_tokens/completion_tokens are zero or missing, fall back to input_tokens
and output_tokens respectively; if total_tokens is missing or zero, compute it
as the sum of prompt/completion (or input/output) tokens; preserve other fields
(cached_tokens, reasoning_tokens, audio_*). Modify the dict branch (where
usage.get(...) is used) and the object branch (where getattr(usage, '...', 0) is
used) to implement these fallbacks so RouterAgent cost calculations
(estimate_cost) see correct token counts.

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Emit per-decision cost in the trace event.

estimated_cost is populated with the running model total after accumulation. From the second call onward, each trace event re-includes earlier spend, so any event-level aggregation will overcount. Emit the current call's cost here, or rename the field to cumulative_estimated_cost.

Suggested patch
-            model_info = self.model_router.get_model_info(model_name)
-            if model_info and token_usage.total_tokens > 0:
-                cost = self.model_router.estimate_cost(model_name, token_usage.total_tokens)
+            cost = 0.0

⚠️ Potential issue | 🟠 Major

Mirror return_token_usage in get_response_async().

The sync API now exposes token usage, but the async counterpart still advertises -> str and has no matching flag/tuple contract. That makes cost observability depend on whether the caller used the sync or async path. As per coding guidelines, "All I/O operations must have both sync and async variants; never block the event loop with sync I/O in async context; use asyncio primitives for coordination, not threading".

⚠️ Potential issue | πŸ”΄ Critical

Most execution paths still drop the raw usage payload.

_final_llm_response is only populated in the non-streaming Chat Completions branches added here. The OpenAI Responses API flow and the successful streaming flow still synthesize final_response objects without any usage, so return_token_usage=True falls back to empty metrics for exactly the models RouterAgent now observes.

Please capture resp in the Responses API branches as well, and thread the terminal raw response or usage object out of the streaming helpers instead of rebuilding a usage-less dict.

Also applies to: 1903-1903, 2134-2134, 2326-2326

The code only sets _final_llm_response in non-streaming Chat Completions
branches so Responses API and successful streaming flows lose usage data; modify
the Responses API branches to capture the raw resp (the OpenAI Responses API
return) into _final_llm_response, and update the streaming helper(s) that
currently synthesize final_response to return/propagate the terminal raw
response or at least its usage object back to the caller (instead of rebuilding
a usage-less dict); ensure callers that honor return_token_usage read usage from
_final_llm_response (or the value threaded out from the streaming helpers) so
return_token_usage=True yields correct metrics for models observed by
RouterAgent.

Move _prepare_return_value() to a private instance method and fix infinite recursion.

This nested function is defined at line 3059 inside get_response(), but it's called from class-level methods like _process_stream_delta() (line 1143) and other methods starting at lines 2740, 2829, 2858, 2859, 2975, 2984, 3041, 3052β€”all before the definition. This causes a NameError at runtime since class methods cannot access local functions nested in other methods.

Additionally, both branches recursively call themselves (lines 3061 and 3067), causing infinite recursion. Line 3061 should return response_text directly when return_token_usage=False, and line 3067 should return the tuple without calling itself again.

Convert _prepare_return_value() to a private instance method (def _prepare_return_value(self, response_text: str)), place it at the class level, and apply the fix at final public return sites only.

Add fallback to Responses API token field names in _extract_token_usage().

The method at lines 4245-4286 only looks for prompt_tokens and completion_tokens, but the codebase already handles the Responses API format with input_tokens and output_tokens at line 1754. When responses use only the Responses API names, the method returns zero tokens, which causes RouterAgent's cost calculation to report 0.0 cost (since estimate_cost() multiplies by token count).

Add fallback logic to check input_tokens/output_tokens if the standard names are not present, and calculate total_tokens as their sum when not explicitly provided in the response.

The _extract_token_usage method fails to handle Responses API field names
(input_tokens/output_tokens), so update TokenUsage extraction in both dict and
object branches of _extract_token_usage to: if prompt_tokens/completion_tokens
are zero or missing, fall back to input_tokens and output_tokens respectively;
if total_tokens is missing or zero, compute it as the sum of prompt/completion
(or input/output) tokens; preserve other fields (cached_tokens,
reasoning_tokens, audio_*). Modify the dict branch (where usage.get(...) is
used) and the object branch (where getattr(usage, '...', 0) is used) to
implement these fallbacks so RouterAgent cost calculations (estimate_cost) see
correct token counts.

I'll analyze this and get back to you.

- Move _prepare_return_value closure to before the try block in
  get_response() so it's defined before use
- Fix infinite recursion: both branches called themselves instead
  of returning the text value
- Revert _prepare_return_value usage from 7 out-of-scope methods
  (_process_stream_delta, get_response_async, _extract_from_responses_output,
  _stream_responses_api, _stream_responses_api_async, response, aresponse)
  where it was a NameError and would corrupt return tuple structure
