Check Credits

Ask for your balance. Get back the credits you have left.

What it does

• Returns your remaining SyncGTM credit balance.
• Takes no arguments and costs nothing to call.
• Call it before an expensive tool, then again after, to see what a run actually cost.

Use cases

• Cost-check before an expensive run. Call it ahead of a per-result tool like find_people so a 100-row page does not fail halfway through a batch.
• Measure what a workflow actually costs. Check, run, check again — the difference is the true price of that chain, which is what you budget the next run against.
• Guard an automated loop. In a scripted or scheduled agent, read the balance first and stop the job rather than burning the remainder on a partial list.

How to use it

How many SyncGTM credits do I have left?

Check my credits, find mobile numbers for these 20 LinkedIn URLs, then check
my credits again and tell me what the batch cost.

Example prompts

Best prompting practices

• Name it in the same prompt as the spend. “Check credits, run the batch, check credits again” is one instruction and gets you a real before-and-after figure. Asked separately, your client may quote a number it remembers from earlier in the conversation.
• Bracket anything expensive. find_mobile_number and find_work_phone are 12 credits a lookup. Bracketing a 20-row batch is how you find out it cost 240 rather than assuming it cost less.
• Make it step zero of a numbered workflow. “Step 0 — check credits. Step 1 — … Stop and show me the estimate before step 2 spends anything.” It is free, so it never has to be justified.
• Ask for the arithmetic, not just the balance. “Balance, planned rows, credits per row, projected total, remaining after” — the projection is the part that changes what you do next.
• Use it to settle a disagreement about cost. If a run felt more expensive than the page said, bracket a small repeat and compare. Per-result tools bill on what came back, not on what you asked for.
• Do not confuse “free” with “no tool call”. A balance that arrives with no tool call is a number from earlier in the chat. Say “call check_credits” when the figure matters.

Output

  "credits_remaining": 4820
