An intelligence credit measures a completed MCP intelligence tool execution.
1 completed intelligence tool call = 1 intelligence credit
The charge does not depend on runtime, result count, or which capability is executed through superdata_call.

Charging rules

Credits are reserved before provider work starts and restored if execution fails. Repeating the same MCP protocol request does not create a second charge while the original request is still processing or has already completed.

Credit sources

Your available balance can contain:
  • 10 non-expiring starter credits, granted once per account
  • Credits included in the current subscription cycle
  • Purchased credits
  • Administrator-granted credits
Superdata consumes the active grant that expires first. Subscription credits expire at the end of their configured credit cycle unless the plan explicitly states otherwise. Purchased credits expire after 18 months without a completed, charged request that uses purchased credits. Each such request resets the 18-month clock for all of your purchased credits that have not already expired. Failed or refunded requests do not reset the clock. This policy also applies to credits purchased before the policy change; their clock starts from the later of purchase or their most recent qualifying usage.

When the balance reaches zero

The tool returns INSUFFICIENT_CREDITS before provider work starts. Open Payments in Superdata to purchase more credits.
