# Prompt cache telemetry

Prompt-cache telemetry exposes whether reuse occurred and, ideally, cached read/write tokens, cost, latency, and cache scope; documented caching without visibility is a separate claim.

- Markdown: https://canmyagentuse.com/features/prompt-cache-telemetry.md

Terminology basis: **Common product term** — https://code.claude.com/docs/en/prompt-caching.

## Current support at a glance

Prompt cache telemetry: 1 supported, 1 partial, 0 unsupported, 29 unreviewed across 31 cataloged products.

- Reviewed current products: 2 of 31
- Supported: 1
- Partial: 1
- Unsupported: 0
- Unreviewed: 29
- Not applicable: 0

Unknown or unreviewed means insufficient published evidence; it does not mean unsupported.

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.
