Definition and scope

What this capability means

This row asks whether an operator can verify prompt-cache behavior for the exact harness. A billing dashboard total, per-request cached-token count, cache-hit event, and detailed read/write breakdown provide different levels of evidence and should be qualified.

Useful records identify where telemetry appears, how long it is retained, whether sub-agent and tool-generated requests are included, and how cached reads and writes map to price. A generic statement that caching is automatic does not prove that the harness exposes telemetry.
