Best Practices

Follow these best practices to get the most out of Paygent.

1. Use Descriptive Names

Choose clear, descriptive names for agents and indicators that make your data easy to understand.

✓ Good

customer-support-chatbotticket-resolved

✗ Avoid

agent1action

2. Track at the Right Granularity

Track each significant AI operation, but don't over-track minor steps.

  • ✓ Track: Each chat completion, content generation, embedding creation
  • ✗ Don't track: Token counting operations, validation checks, internal processing

3. Use Environment Variables

Never hardcode API keys. Always use environment variables.

typescript
1// ✓ Good
2const client = PaygentClient.newClient(process.env.PAYGENT_API_KEY);
3
4// ✗ Never do this
5const client = PaygentClient.newClient('pk_live_abc123...');

4. Monitor Your Usage

Regularly check your Paygent dashboard to understand usage patterns, identify anomalies, and optimize costs.
