Description

## Value Proposition

Users writing ES|QL queries — especially those new to the language — can unintentionally write expensive queries that strain cluster resources. There is no proactive feedback about a query's potential cost before execution.

## Expected Outcome

Real-time query cost scoring and visual feedback in the Kibana ES|QL editor. As users type, the system calculates a cost score, highlights resource-intensive commands, and suggests optimizations — helping prevent accidental misuse and encouraging efficient query patterns.
