# CrewAI (/docs/integrations/crewai)



CrewAI is a **Python** integration. Install the extra and init as usual — see
[init parameters](/docs/sdk/init). There is no CrewAI-specific code: once the extra is in place,
your crews are metered and enforced like any other traffic.

```bash
pip install "token-police[crewai]"
```

<Callout type="info">
  CrewAI has its **own** extra and is deliberately **not** part of `token-police[all]`: CrewAI
  supports Python 3.10–3.13 but not 3.14 yet, and keeping it out is what lets `[all]` install
  everywhere. Install `[crewai]` on its own, or alongside `[all]`.
</Callout>

## Install caveats [#install-caveats]

* Installs may print a benign resolver warning — safe to ignore.
* Strict resolvers (uv, Poetry, pip-tools) sometimes need a two-step install: CrewAI first, then
  `token-police[crewai]`.
* Set `CREWAI_DISABLE_TELEMETRY=true` to quiet CrewAI's own tracing noise. Never set
  `OTEL_SDK_DISABLED=true` to silence it — that disables TokenPolice too, and nothing gets metered.

## Tool calls [#tool-calls]

Tool spans are **manual** with CrewAI: the model calls a crew makes are metered and enforced
normally, but the tool steps themselves don't get their own entry in the trace.
