How to Present Results

• Parse the JSON output and present it in a clear, readable format
• For summaries: show total tokens, cost, savings, and request count
• For breakdowns: show a table with group key, tokens, cost, savings
• For alerts: explain which rules triggered and current metric values
• Round dollar amounts to 2 decimal places
• Use natural language to explain savings (e.g., "You saved $8.91 today by routing 412 requests through cheaper models")

Environment

The greenclaw CLI uses the GREENCLAW_TELEMETRY_DB environment variable for the SQLite database path (defaults to data/telemetry.db).
