Telemetry
Volt collects anonymous usage metadata by default to improve routing recommendations. This includes: provider name, model name, tool response time, and success/failure status.
What is never collected: prompts, outputs, API keys, token counts, or any user-identifiable content. IPs are hashed and truncated server-side.
To opt out, set the environment variable:
VOLT_OBSERVATIONS=false
