Description

From my understanding you currently only get the answer and a success flag back.
For me it would be quite interesting to also get information on tokens used etc (which OpenAI provides for example).
Is there a way to get that information out or does this need modification in the code? Would be happy to support, just need a little guidance on where to start.

This is the information on usage you get back when using the openAI-API

"usage":{
      "prompt_tokens":13,
      "completion_tokens":7,
      "total_tokens":20
   },

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is named. Start by tracing how provider responses are handled and whether usage metadata is currently discarded. Done means exposing token counts or equivalent usage information alongside the answer and success flag, with coverage for the OpenAI-style usage object.
