Trending Tools & Usage Stats
See which Nova tools the community is actually using. The Tools page now shows a live Trending Tools panel — a ranked, real-time view of the most-used tools across both the REST API and the MCP server.
Usage stats cover the Tools Platform — the tools Nova serves externally via the dashboard, REST API, and MCP. They count successful tool runs only. Nova's in-chat conversational abilities (Telegram/Discord/widget) are separate and not included here.

How Trending Is Calculated
Most used — ranked purely by number of successful runs in the selected period.
Trending — a tool whose usage grew meaningfully versus the previous equal-length period (e.g. this week vs last week).
To keep things honest, a tool needs a minimum volume before a trend percentage is shown — so a tool going from 1 → 3 calls won't be labelled "+200% 🔥". Low-traffic tools simply show no arrow.
All-time has no trend arrows (there's no prior period to compare against).
Numbers refresh every few minutes. They reflect successful runs only — failed or abandoned attempts are excluded so the rankings aren't inflated by retries.
Privacy
The public trending view is aggregate only. It never exposes who called a tool:
✅ Shown: tool name, run counts, REST/MCP split, trends, success rate, unique-caller count.
❌ Never shown publicly: caller wallet addresses, IP addresses, or revenue.
Caller-level detail and revenue are visible only to platform admins in the internal dashboard.
For Builders
Want the raw numbers? The same aggregate data powers a public endpoint:
It returns ranked per-tool usage, headline totals, and a daily series — all aggregate, no identities. Responses are cached for a few minutes.
Curious which tools agents reach for most? The MCP vs REST split is the quickest way to see what the agent ecosystem is leaning on versus what people run from the dashboard.
