Response Includes

Control which additional data is included in model responses using the include parameter. This allows you to access detailed metadata, tool execution results, and debugging information without affecting the core response.

Overview

By default, model responses contain only the essential output. The include parameter lets you opt-in to additional data like source URLs, execution logs, token probabilities, and more. This is useful for:

  • Transparency: Show users where information comes from
  • Debugging: Track function executions and token usage
  • Analysis: Understand model reasoning and confidence
  • Compliance: Maintain audit trails of tool usage

Available Include Options

Tool Call Data

web_search.sources

Include source URLs, titles, and snippets from web search results.

Without include:

{
  "output": [{

  method: 'POST',
  headers: {
    'X-API-Key': apiKey,
    'Content-Type': 'application/json'

      { role: 'user', texts: [{ text: 'Search for AI news' }] }
    ],
    tools: { webSearch: true }
  })
});

Python with All Includes

import requests

response = requests.post(
    'https://api.aitronos.com/v1/model/response',
    headers={'Authorization': f'Bearer {api_key}'},
    json={
        'model': 'gpt-4.1',
        'include': [
            'web_search.sources',
            'code_interpreter.outputs',
            'file_search.results',
            'function_calls.logs',
            'message.logprobs',
            'usage.detailed',
            'request.logs'
        ],
        'inputs': [
            {'role': 'user', 'texts': [{'text': 'Comprehensive request'}]}
        ],
        'tools': {
            'webSearch': True,
            'codeInterpreter': True,
            'fileSearch': True
        }
    }
)

data = response.json()

# Access included data
if 'sources' in data['output'][0]:
    print("Web sources:", data['output'][0]['sources'])

if 'logs' in data:
    print("Processing time:", data['logs']['total_duration_ms'], "ms")

if 'detailed' in data['usage']:
    print("Token breakdown:", data['usage']['detailed'])

Best Practices

Include Only What You Need

// ❌ Bad - includes everything unnecessarily
include: [
  'web_search.sources',
  'code_interpreter.outputs',
  'file_search.results',
  'function_calls.logs',
  'message.logprobs',
  'usage.detailed',
  'request.logs'
]

// ✅ Good - only includes what's needed
include: ['web_search.sources', 'usage.detailed']

Conditional Includes

def get_includes(debug_mode, show_sources):
    includes = []
    
    if debug_mode:
        includes.extend(['request.logs', 'usage.detailed'])
    
    if show_sources:
        includes.extend([
            'web_search.sources',
            'file_search.results'
        ])
    
    return includes

# Usage
response = send_request(
    message="Search for AI news",
    include=get_includes(debug_mode=True, show_sources=True)
)

Performance Considerations

// For production (fast, minimal)
const prodIncludes = ['web_search.sources'];

// For debugging (detailed, slower)
const debugIncludes = [
  'web_search.sources',
  'function_calls.logs',
  'request.logs',
  'usage.detailed'
];

// For analytics (comprehensive)
const analyticsIncludes = [
  'message.logprobs',
  'usage.detailed',
  'request.logs'
];

const includes = process.env.NODE_ENV === 'production' 
  ? prodIncludes 
  : debugIncludes;

Impact on Response Size & Cost

Response Size

Base response: ~2 KB

+ web_search.sources: +1-5 KB per search
+ code_interpreter.outputs: +0.5-2 KB per execution
+ file_search.results: +2-10 KB per search
+ function_calls.logs: +0.5-1 KB per call
+ message.logprobs: +50-200% of output size
+ request.logs: +1-2 KB
+ usage.detailed: +0.5 KB

Full includes: ~15-50 KB total

Cost Impact

Most includes don't affect token costs (they're metadata). However:

  • message.logprobs - No additional cost (same tokens)
  • reasoning.encrypted - No additional cost (same tokens)
  • Other includes - No token cost (pure metadata)

Performance impact:

  • Minimal includes: +5-10ms response time
  • All includes: +20-50ms response time

Use Cases

Customer Support with Citations

// Show users where information came from
const response = await sendMessage({
  message: userQuery,
  include: ['web_search.sources', 'file_search.results']
});

// Display answer with sources
displayAnswer(response.output[0].text);
displaySources(response.output[0].sources);

Developer Debugging

# Full debugging information
response = requests.post('/v1/model/response', json={
    'model': 'gpt-4.1',
    'include': [
        'function_calls.logs',
        'request.logs',
        'usage.detailed'
    ],
    'inputs': [...]
})

# Analyze performance
print(f"Total time: {response.json()['logs']['total_duration_ms']}ms")
print(f"Cost: ${response.json()['usage']['cost_estimate']['total_cost_usd']}")

Analytics & Monitoring

# Track token usage patterns
def log_request_analytics(response):
    usage = response['usage']['detailed']
    
    analytics.track('ai_request', {
        'model': response['model'],
        'total_tokens': usage['total_tokens'],
        'input_breakdown': {
            'system': usage['system_prompt'],
            'user': usage['user_messages'],
            'history': usage['thread_history']
        },
        'output_tokens': usage['assistant_output'],
        'cost_usd': usage['cost_estimate']['total_cost_usd']
    })
