fix(count_tokens): emit the usage event a refusal needs to be findable - #1068
Conversation
`/v1/messages/count_tokens` emitted no UsageEvent on any outcome. #1064 made it refusable by an input guardrail and #1065 put the flag the Logs "Guardrail blocks" view filters on onto the event a refusal produces — on the nine families that emit one. This route had nothing to put it on, so it refused correctly and the refusal was unfindable. The route stays unmetered: token counters are zero on both paths. What it gains is a row. Also adds the reporting half to `guardrail_coverage`'s census, whose surface set is parsed out of the router — the census that already existed asserted refusals against a hand-written list, which is how this surface was missing from it.

#1066 renamed the family so a new emit site cannot be added without considering member attribution. This is that site.
… census exemption The emitter reported the handler's own elapsed as upstream_latency_ms. This route fails over across a group's Anthropic targets and retries within one, so on a group that figure includes every attempt that lost — while upstream_latency_ms is attempt-scoped everywhere else in Logs. The census skipped /a2a for the bills-nothing assertion, copying an exemption guardrail_blocked_telemetry needs because its fixtures carry real text. The census's are contentless, so a2a bills zero there anyway: the skip protected nothing and would have hidden a surface that started billing on a refusal.
The post-block-check masking pass was run and its counts discarded. Now that this route emits an event, redacted_entity_counts must match what /v1/messages reports for the same body and chain — otherwise the sibling route reads as masking more of the same payload. Invisible from the audit side: the enforced hit carries its own copy of the count, so the field cp-api persists was empty while a reader checking guardrail_enforced_hits would have seen the mask recorded.

Both tests select rows by

- Line 137: Replace the countTokens-based readiness gate with an independent GET
/v1/models check using ProxyClient.listModels and the caller API key, treating
readiness as satisfied only when the response status is 200. Ensure caller API
keys are seeded after all other resources before this gate runs, and use the
non-throwing client behavior so upstream, transport, or invalid-response errors
are surfaced rather than interpreted as not-ready. Keep the test requests and
LOGSTORE assertions focused solely on countTokens.

…ows by request id Both from the CodeRabbit review on #1068, both correct. The gate sent successful count_tokens requests, so a regression in the route would have surfaced as a propagation timeout in beforeAll instead of a failed assertion — and every gate attempt planted a served row the first test could match instead of its own. tests/e2e/AGENTS.md says a gate must not exercise the behavior under test; the sibling spec this one was modelled on already gates on GET /v1/models and explains why. Rows are now selected by x-aisix-request-id rather than status_code. ensure_request_id is the outermost layer and stamps it on every response, short-circuited 4xx included, and it is the telemetry request_id.

Both findings from the review are applied in eebc8fd — the inline one (readiness gate) and the nitpick (anchor rows by request id), which turned out to be the same root cause: the gate's own served rows were what made Noting for the record that this PR also went through a self-review pass because Copilot came back with a quota-limit message and CodeRabbit's first pass hit the review limit. Three things came out of it, each in its own commit:
|
/v1/messages/count_tokensemitted noUsageEventon any outcome. #1064 made it refusable by an input guardrail; #1065 putguardrail_blocked— the exact predicate the dashboard's Logs "Guardrail blocks" view filters on — onto the event a refusal produces, across the nine handler families that emit one. This route had no event to put it on, so it refused correctly and the refusal was unfindable. Ten families driven at once produced ten 422s and nine rows.Found in the v0.11.0 release QA (AISIX-Cloud#1435, item 1); pre-existing, not a 0.11.0 regression — on rc.5 the route did not run the chain at all, so there was nothing to report either way.
What changes
The route still bills nothing —
prompt_tokensandcompletion_tokensare zero on both paths — and now emits a terminal event on both. "Not metered" and "not recorded" were being treated as one statement; they are two. It generates nothing, so there is nothing to bill, but it does ship the caller's entiresystem+messages+toolspayload to a real provider, and every question Logs exists to answer about that request had no row to read.Symmetric rather than refusals-only, deliberately.
success_countisCOUNT(DISTINCT request_id) FILTER (WHERE status_code BETWEEN 200 AND 299), so a family that contributed only failures would push the org error rate up with no denominator of its own — and a per-route rule about which outcomes report is the kind of thing that drifts back out of sync, which is what this whole class of bug is.The
{"input_tokens": N}the caller gets back stays out ofprompt_tokens: it measures a prompt, it does not consume one. Recording it would charge for a free call and double-count the prompt once the caller issues the real/v1/messages. Norecord_usagecall either — theaisix_llm_*_tokens_totalfamilies are token/spend families and this route contributes neither; the request families already carry the call.Monitor hits, redaction counts and the enforced-guardrail audit were being collected and discarded because there was no event to attach them to. They now ride the event, on both paths.
The census, not the list
guardrail_blocked_telemetryalready pinned "a refusal is marked" — against a hand-written list of surfaces, andcount_tokenswas not on it. A list nobody updates agrees with itself forever, which is the failure this repo has now hit twice.So the reporting assertion moves to
guardrail_coverage, whose surface set is parsed out oflib.rs's routing table: mount a route, declare its posture, and it is checked whether or not anyone remembers to edit a list. It asserts both halves — the refusal is marked, and it bills nothing. What stays inguardrail_blocked_telemetryis what the census cannot express: the clean-run control (which needs a text-dependent guardrail, not the census's unconditional script) and/passthrough/byo(which needs a configured route prefix the census snapshot does not carry).Tests
