## 🔧 MCP Tool Usage (Claude Code)

```typescript
// Get model recommendation
mcp__agentic-flow__agentic_flow_optimize_model({
  agent: "qe-test-generator",
  task: "Generate tests",
  priority: "cost",
  max_cost: 0.001
})

// Execute agent
mcp__agentic-flow__agentic_flow_agent({
  agent: "qe-test-generator",
  task: "Generate comprehensive tests",
  provider: "openrouter",
  temperature: 0.7,
  maxTokens: 4096
})
```

## 🛠️ Configuration

### Environment Variables (already set in ~/.bashrc)
```bash
AGENTIC_FLOW_OPTIMIZE=true
AGENTIC_FLOW_PRIORITY=quality
AGENTIC_FLOW_TRANSPORT=quic
QUIC_PORT=4433
ANTHROPIC_API_KEY=[set]
OPENROUTER_API_KEY=[set]
OPENAI_API_KEY=[set]
```

### Optional Settings
```bash
export AGENTIC_FLOW_MAX_COST=0.01         # Global max cost
export AGENTIC_FLOW_FALLBACK_ENABLED=true # Provider fallback
export AGENTIC_FLOW_VERBOSE=true          # Always show details
```

## 💡 Cost Savings Examples

### Example 1: 100 Test Generation Tasks
```
Before: $0.015 × 100 = $1.50 (Claude only)
After:  $0.0008 × 100 = $0.08 (optimized)
Savings: $1.42 (94.7%)
```

### Example 2: Mixed Workload
```
Before: $1.50 (all Claude Sonnet 4.5)
After:  $0.58 (optimized per task type)
Savings: $0.92 (61%)
```

### Example 3: Daily QE Operations
```
10 test generations (cost)     → $0.008
5 coverage analyses (balanced)  → $0.004
3 security scans (quality)      → $0.045
2 performance tests (speed)     → $0.001
─────────────────────────────────────
Total per day: $0.058
Monthly (22 days): $1.28

Without optimization: $33.00
Savings: $31.72/month (96%)
```

## 🔄 Provider Fallback Chain

```
1. OpenRouter (DeepSeek R1)      → 85% savings
   ↓ (if fails)
2. Gemini (Gemini 2.5 Flash)     → 70% savings
   ↓ (if fails)
3. Claude (Sonnet 4.5)           → Baseline quality
   ↓ (if fails)
4. ONNX (local Phi-4)            → 100% offline
```

```

## 🆘 Troubleshooting

### Issue: Free model unavailable
```bash
# Solution: Use Anthropic as fallback
agentic-flow --agent [agent] --task "[task]" --provider anthropic
```

### Issue: Want to see optimization details
```bash
# Solution: Add --verbose flag
agentic-flow --agent [agent] --task "[task]" --optimize --verbose
```

### Issue: Cost too high
```bash
# Solution: Use cost priority or set budget
agentic-flow --agent [agent] --task "[task]" --optimize --priority cost --max-cost 0.001
```

## 🎓 Best Practices

✅ **DO**: Use `--optimize` for all tasks
✅ **DO**: Set `--priority` based on task criticality
✅ **DO**: Use `--max-cost` for experiments
✅ **DO**: Use `--verbose` to understand selections

❌ **DON'T**: Use `--priority cost` for security/critical tasks
❌ **DON'T**: Skip optimization (wastes money)
❌ **DON'T**: Use `--priority quality` for simple tasks
