FAQ
Questions about this skill
Which platforms are supported?
Snowflake, BigQuery, Datadog, Confluent, Aiven, Elastic Cloud, ClickHouse, Cloudflare and more, plus any FOCUS-formatted billing data in BigQuery.
How long does this skill take to set up?
Connect in under 30 minutes, get your first optimization recommendation the next day. Billing data and the Costory MCP connect with Terraform or CloudFormation. Then pick the scope, the trigger and the Slack channel for the skill.
Can we adjust what the agent does?
Yes. You choose the trigger, the scope (team, service, environment), the channel and the format, and you can pause or change it at any time.
Does Costory change anything in our cloud accounts?
No. Costory reads billing exports and the metrics you connect, and has no write access to your cloud. Actions it takes create Costory objects only: alerts, reports, dashboards and events. Your team stays in control of every change.
