Reporting Use Cases

The Client plugin field identifies the extension through which an IDE talks to the AI provider.

  • Distinguishing integration paths: The same editor can reach a provider through more than one extension, and they do not always behave the same.

  • Filter to the client breakdown: This field only appears on CLIENT records. On every other breakdown it is empty, which is correct rather than missing data.
