# Control Center

Manage platform governance, monitoring, access, usage, quality, cost control, and audit.

Control Center is the account-wide administration and monitoring surface of the Qore platform. It's where you watch how your apps and agents are used, evaluate the quality of their output, enforce guardrails and kill switches, inspect logs, manage costs, and control who has access.

## At a glance

* **What it's for:** monitoring, quality control, governance, and administration across your whole Qore account — not building apps or agents (that happens in Console), but overseeing them.
* **Who uses it:** account admins and operators day-to-day; developers and integrators for API keys, logs, and permissions; anyone who needs to see usage, cost, or audit history.
* **How it's organized:** seven modules in the navigation: Operator, Observe, Cost Control, Evals, Govern, AI Gateway, and Admin.
* **Scope:** everything in Control Center is account-wide. There is no project selector for the space itself, though most screens can be narrowed to one project.

## Control Center modules

The Control Center navigation lists seven modules:

* [**Operator**](/ai-workbench-qore/control-center/governance-operator.md) — the Governance Operator: ask about the account, and approve what it proposes.
* [**Observe**](/ai-workbench-qore/control-center/observe.md) — who's using your apps and agents, with what outcomes, and every run, change, model call, request, and database operation. Includes exports and reports.
* [**Cost Control**](/ai-workbench-qore/control-center/cost-control.md) — track credit usage and set hard limits and alerts.
* [**Evals**](/ai-workbench-qore/control-center/evals.md) — define evaluators that score agent output, watch them run on live traffic, and review flagged executions by hand.
* [**Govern**](/ai-workbench-qore/control-center/govern.md) — stop agents in an emergency, review the connectors agents may reach, and load a governed graph.
* [**AI Gateway**](/ai-workbench-qore/control-center/ai-gateway.md) — set the model families and models used across Console building and usage.
* [**Admin**](/ai-workbench-qore/control-center/admin.md) — manage users and their roles, group them into teams scoped to product spaces, and issue API keys.

## How Control Center fits together

The modules are separate views over the same account activity, so one agent run shows up in several places, each from a different angle: as a thread in **Agent Analytics**, a scored execution in **Online Eval**, a task in **Human Review** when its confidence is low, the model calls it made in **LLM Logs**, and the records it changed in **Audit Trails** and **DB Query Logs**.

Knowing which module answers which question is most of what it takes to work quickly here:

* *Is anyone using this?* → Observe.
* *Is the output any good?* → Evals.
* *Can I stop it, and what can it reach?* → Govern.
* *Who changed what?* → Observe › Audit Trails.
* *What exactly did it call and write?* → Observe › LLM Logs, Request Logs, and DB Query Logs.
* *What is it costing?* → Cost Control.
* *Who can do what?* → Admin.

# Agent Instructions
This documentation is published with GitBook. GitBook is the documentation platform designed so that both humans and AI agents can read, navigate, and reason over technical content effectively. Learn more at gitbook.com.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:

```
GET https://docs.uptiq.ai/ai-workbench-qore/start-here/control-center.md?ask=<question>&goal=<user_goal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
