# Get usage
> Read workspace usage, allowance and billing availability for one UTC month.
`get_usage`
Read workspace usage, allowance and billing availability for one UTC month. Source and destination checks share allowance; reserved, consumed and released are separate totals.
Hosted MCP registration verified. These schemas describe the development contract; confirm supported inputs with tools/list. Generic CLI/HTTP calls require a matching development server. Configure LINKTRAIL\_API\_URL; production does not expose these command routes.
| Access | Behavior |
| --------------- | ---------------- |
| `projects:read` | Reads saved data |
Reading saved data does not start a verification job. Mutations can change saved records or access; the effects below apply.
## Example request
Connect through [MCP](/guides/connect-mcp), [CLI](/guides/connect-cli), or [HTTP](/guides/connect-http). Replace example identifiers with records from your workspace.
```json MCP theme={null}
{
"jsonrpc": "2.0",
"id": 1,
"method": "tools/call",
"params": {
"name": "get_usage",
"arguments": {}
}
}
```
```bash CLI theme={null}
linktrail call get_usage --args '{}'
```
```bash HTTP theme={null}
curl "$LINKTRAIL_API_URL/v1/commands/get_usage" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $LINKTRAIL_API_KEY" \
-H 'Content-Type: application/json' \
--data '{}'
```
## Returned result
Illustrative data validated against the documented response schema. IDs and dates are examples, not a live account capture. MCP returns this data in `structuredContent` and in a text content block; generic HTTP and CLI return the JSON result directly.

## Input fields
Omit optional fields when you do not want to supply them. Null is accepted only where listed. Unknown input properties are rejected.
| Field | Type | Presence | Meaning and constraints |
| -------- | ------ | -------- | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `period` | string | Optional | Billing month in UTC, formatted YYYY-MM; defaults to the current month. pattern: "^\d\{4}-\d\{2}\$" |
### Validation and omitted values
Omitting period uses the current UTC month in YYYY-MM format. Source and destination checks share allowance; reserved, consumed and released are distinct.
## Output fields
Fields inside optional or nullable parents apply only when that parent exists. [Common schema conventions](/reference/schemas) explain evidence states, empty lists and extensions.

## Errors and retries
The command is annotated idempotent. Reuse an accepted idempotency key when the input provides one; changing the payload under a reused key can conflict.
See [error recovery](/reference/errors) for status, scope, cooldown, cursor and retry handling. Unknown observations are result data and do not establish loss.
## HTTP resource routes
These existing resource routes share the operation’s domain behavior. Their parameter placement, status and response envelope can differ from generic invocation. See [HTTP route details](/reference/http/routes).
| Method and route | Success | Details |
| ---------------- | ------- | ------------------------------------------------ |
| `GET /v1/usage` | 200 | Remaining read arguments go in query parameters. |
