Autonomous Agent Workflow Cost Calculator
Agentic workflows executing multi-step reasoning, API tool execution, web browsing, and self-reflection loops. Agents generate deep conversational history in each iteration. With Anthropic or DeepSeek prompt caching, earlier tool call logs are cached with up to a 90% discount, transforming complex agent viability.
